Lots of room for improvement, but good times anyway.

I ran a 14.5 @ 95.5 all stock.

If his original tires are bald as hell, it could be a little shorter than the new ones... but those two tire sizes have the same sidewall height. Don't worry about it.

Those 1/8th miles make it out to be a 13.4 car in the 1/4. That's not too bad. The launches sound like they are fine, but I know there is more in it. WIth 15'' nittos, a few locals here in STL can go 1.7s on the 60'. Just keep practicing with the launch and you'll be running great in no time.

Yup, I cut 1.8x 60' on DRs with a 3500 stall and 4.10s... could be better with more power. I usually launch at 1100rpms. Hooks up pretty good.

We shall see. I look forward to seeing some numbers out of your bucket. I'll be there right along side you the entire way, with less mods. :banana: :D

I would have hit the 12 if I took a crap before my run you bastard. :lol:

Are you downshifting to slow down? My car does this as well, but it's an auto... I never thought it to be a big deal, just use the brakes. :)

Stock struts, no c/c plates. Thanks. :D For the record, my stock struts are blown to hell after 53k miles. :rlaugh:

I got the 3500 stall from Precision Industries. Cost me 714 shipped, the same as Dark Knights, through Houston Performance. I will be restalling to 4000 over summer, but my car is going to be more drag oriented. I'd go anywhere from 3000-3500. It's perfect for street driving and a weekend...

You have no idea... lol. I dropped .4 in the 1/4 from the converter alone. That was a consistent .4 as well. I'm looking to drop a few more tenths with a better launch next time out. And to whoever said 4.10s are too much on a daily driven auto, you're absolutely incorrect. I still...

Yup. http://www.stlmustangs.com

I'll play Devils Advocate here. Keep the T/A. A Trans Am WS6 has always been a dream car of mine. To me, you can't beat the styling and power for the buck with the T/A. I wouldn't trade unless you're getting an even exchance, but that's just me.

Get some sticky tires man. It'll drop your times a lot. Also, get a bottle heater to get that nitrous workin. :banana:

LMAO, are you serious? Manuals lose 12-15% of power through the drivetrain, while automatics lose 15-18%. A manual is definitely fun to drive and will give a slight power advantage, but an automatic is no dog. Add gears and converter and some sticky tires and you'll be just fine in an...

What track?

On my car, I noticed that the 555rs wore unevenly at any higher than 28... so, that's where I set mine at.

The difference in diameter between the two tire sizes is .08. Not very much at all. I know several people with 275s out back and 245s up front, me being one of them. I've never had a problem. You may have to have a performance shop mount the tire though. Most places won't accept liability...
