Whats the fastest time..........

[junkman306]

a relatively stock non-PI 96-98 GT has ran in the 1/4??? By relatively stock I mean not much more than a CAI and aftermarket exhaust, since thats about as close to stock as you can get anymore.

I'm sure he'll chime in, but I think bhuff has gone 14.2x, maybe a tad faster, with just an offroad H. That's fastest I have noticed.

I was thinking they should run 14.5x-14.7x with those mods.

I think that's par for the course, but seems like a few people wind up with factory freaks. Too bad I didn't....15.2 at 90.... But now I got an offroad h pipe and custom SCT tune coming. People tell me my tune is off; well, I'm about to find out this weekend.

Lol. So far, with nothing more than an O/R x-pipe, Flowmasters, and a CAI, I've ran a best of 14.19 @ 95.26. I just finished putting Strange adjustable struts and shocks and Eibach drag springs on my 98 GT. I'm hoping for 13's this Friday night.

Very nice. Did you notice a lot of pick up with the offroad mid-pipe? And I saw you also had an SCT tune; get much out of that? I think my biggest problems are the tune, the stock midpipe, and the 4r70w. And like I said, I'm taking care of the first two this weekend, so I'll see how it goes.

The 4r70w won't hurt you much. Get a decent 3200 rpm converter and some 4.10's you'll be good to go. I didn't notice a difference at the track with the sct tune, but on the dyno it made 8rwhp and 1 rwtq difference. The sct programmer came with the car when I bought it and already had a custom tune in it. It needs re-tuned. It runs pig rich with the tune on. I'm gonna wait until the new motor is finished first though. The midpipe makes a huge difference. On my 93 Mark VIII, I had a custom midpipe made to get rid of the cats and it made a huge difference. I picked up about 1/2 of a second. Plus it makes the car sound 10x as tough.

No one else knows?

You must be launching the nuts off the car to get a 14.19 at just 95mph. I tried earlier this fall to beat my 14.26, but my clutch was too soft (70k+ miles) and the weather wasn't cooperative, so I was stuck at 14.4.

I went 14.20 at 98 with justa pi intake and exhaust and gears. pi cams I went 14.0 at 99 with a 2.0 60ft. im swapping springs tomorrow and thursday so I should hit 13s easily. don't know the da or anything though. I want a 13.80 bad!!

 

[98COBRA281]

NPI cars can run very strong with a few simple bolt ons, gears and a good driver, NPI heads are not bad, but the stock NPI cams and intake are terrible, which gives a bad rep for NPI cars.....

 

[navarro98gt]

I ran a 14.9 with a K&N, 3.73's, and o/r x pipe.

 

[98COBRA281]

i went 14.1. w/ 2.0 60' with 373's, pi cams/intake, steeda T/A, o/r H pipe full weight 3400+lbs....

 

[junkman306]

I've got the Eibach drag launch springs and airbag on and Strange adjustable struts and shocks on now. I'm shooting for 13's on street tires this saturday. I've also got a set of drag radials borrowed. We shall see. I think I'll swap to 4.10's and PI swap it this winter.

Not really. My best 60ft is 2.11. I just ride the clutch out at about 1750rpms and then stand on it. Spin through first and a little in second and away I go. Whats your best 1/8th mile pass??

You need to bring it out to the kan... ORP will never admit it but I have heard from a few credible sources (one of them stepped it off and would know) that the finish line at orp is not quite 1/4 mile.

Not that your car doesn't run well but it would explain your low 14 at just 95 with a bad 60 ft.

I've also heard said rumor. Based on my 1/8th mile time, I should be running 14.09 in the 1/4. I do want to come to the Kan again one of these days. I grew up in Monett and I raced at both places and all my cars ran within a few hundredths on similar weather days.
