was your car bone stock when it ran the 16.2? cause i finally got mine out to the track and i have a full exhaust(minus headers) and a c.a.i and i cant break a 16.4. oh and if you remember, what was your trap speed

 

Yup, she was bone stock. I even had a slipping clutch! I do have a 5spd. Is yours automatic? Are you spinning alot off the line? My trap speed was 88mph.

 

My car didn't wanna break 16.3 when I was at the track, I blame the trans with 200k miles on it.

 

well my car was doing some mysterious things that night. but ya i got a 5 speed and i only did a lil chirp chirp chirp

 

Socom: I really don't think you'll have an issue with your 93 now! I've seen your "wow!" build! I can't wait to see what it'll do at the track now!

duane18, what are you launching at? You should be launching at 1500 to 2000 RPM. More than that and you'll spin like crazy. You could have a plugged cat or need a tune up. It also depends how hot it was the day you were racing. I hit 16.2 at 80F.

 

i was launching at 2500 and i just did a recent tune up and it runs amazing but now i just have to go back and run it again.

 

That was at the track recently after the rebuild I think its the old tranny. Oh well it can't hurt to put a new one in with a bigger stall

 

Yeah man. With your engine set up you should be alot quicker than that. Your rear end is posi with higher gears, so that may slow it down a tad but you should be up in the 14's at least.

 

Well, I got some engine parts off a junked Firebird. I've noticed with the 3.4L engine that carbon builds up easily and is hard to get rid of. So, tonight I made a date with the sandblaster and cleaned off the throttlebody and upper-intake!
