These are the numbers from the supercharged qaud-4 cavy that I ran against in the second run. He's a buddy of mine. It's a 4 door auto. This was the best time he's ever cut in his car. He beat me by a bit cause of the launch and I just about had him at the end, but ran out of track. By 3rd gear I was reeling him in hard but it wasn't enough.

decent mph.

decent mph.

2.5 mph faster than the last time out.

It was 79 degrees out and I was using 91 octane. Look at the horrendous 60 foot times. I could run 60 feet faster than that. There is no such thing as launching a stock SS. So much wheel hop it caused my car's brake light, and ABS warning light to come on. They both stayed on till I shut it off then restarted... :lol2:

Typical GM... can't launch for shit.

Unless it's a Corvette.

Fbody's suck balls at launching in stock form. My 60's aren't any better. 2.3-2.4 is my average. Plus shitty 245 tires outback... bleh.

Hey, imagine if you had a set of 18's with rubber bands for tires. Then you'd really be in a world of hurt, heh.

My best 60' foot time was a 2.1xx on street tires. Just takes practice. I tend to average around a 2.2xx.

good times man. If you could get those 60's down you would be whole lot faster. When i first when to the track with my supercharger i ran a 2.0 60ft, that managed to get me a 14.7, later that night i ran a 2.3 and a 15.1. With the same MPH.

I pull those in a open diff honda :headshake

j/k I've driven F-bodies its nearly as hard if not harder to launch them

I've gotten a 2.5 :lol2:

we all need slicks

The worst I ever did was over 3 seconds. :lol:
It BLEW the tires off....was quite funny actually. 15.4 at 103MPH.

hot damn so thats what more then 8 ft lbs at 74K rpm gets you :lol:

must have been a wild run! We all need slicks badly.

I need a rear-end...then slicks and I will be good to go with 1.7xx 60's.
That was a funny run. :lol: I could barely believe the slip. I knew it was bad....but I didn't think it was that bad.

I need a rear-end...then slicks and I will be good to go with 1.7xx 60's.

oh yea F bodies do need a good rear also.

me I just need lifetime return pepboy axles :lol2: my friend has been cutting 1.7 1.8s on slicks in his race car on them for a year or so I bet they hate him.

No way in hell the 60's are coming down with this suspension/tire setup. The only way to get it out of the hole without insane wheel hop is to take off at idle, as if I was coming away from a stoplight...in some what of a hurry.

I need smaller wheels, better tires and poly inserts for my engine/tranny. Then I can get the power to the ground.

Thanks for the encouraement tho mang.

mang.

Haha. it's ugly as hell whatever it is.

For the record, I've been saying mang for about 9 years now. I'm pretty sure I coined the term in that spelling as well.

It was me poking fun of my Mexican buddies from south phoenix. :lol2:

yeah and i invernted the internet...pshhh

Don't tell that to Mr. Gore.

You need some polyurethane motor mount bushings. I'm sure that will eliminate the majority of the hop. My best 60' on street tires is a 2.2 sec. 60'. I have yet to see anyone post a 2.0 sec. 60' in an F body at the track I go to, and I go there quite often. Of course it is possible with an automatic equipped car though.

Nice times though. I know some dude from another board that has a 97 T/A and he is running a 14.3 sec. 1/4 mile at 98 mph. I believe he lives somewhere in PA.

Thx dude.

Yeah, the mph is good for a lower 14 sec run, but damn, this thing will not hook up. No one has any poly bushings yet so I'm kinda stuck in this wheel hop muck for a while.

However, someone does have a torque brace that mounts from the shock tower to the block that is supposed to help considerably with the hop. It's only about $120 and takes all of 10 minutes to install. I think I'll go with one of those for the time being.

Good mph, nearly 5 mph FASTER than the cavy that beat you that 2nd run...he straight up owned you in the first 60' though

P.S...that one dude from Swisha House with the platinum teeth is the ugliest mother fucker alive.

Yeah, he pulled a good 3-4 lengths or so within the first 5 seconds of the race. I was surprised at how hard I was pulling him in at the end though. This is why I say it's so much more at home on the highway.
