Well wierd night, asked this forum on the chat before i left what rpm to launch @ people said 2000rpms, tried 2 times pulled a
15.9@88 60 ft: 2.45. then a 15.8@88mph 60 ft 2.36. bogged out bad.. not worth even posting lols.


So then I launch harder around @2500 rpms. no bog but barely a chirp

I think I could of squeaked in a 15.5,Not bad for the 3 mods I Have roughly half a second of my stock qtr mile. ah a well it was a ton of fun and makes me think of plans for next year

I know what u mean on the wierd part. I used to launch off idle or maybe 2k and all i would do is butter my tires. I now launch at 2800-3k and all i get is a few squeaks and a much harder launch.

damn lol you need a top swap or something.
regardless, nice improvements from when you started!
work on those 60's haha

At least you'll be able to back in time in the 1/4 mile

only way i could do better 60's/1/4 mile if I was launching harder then 3000rpms which after 5 runs i was happy my tranny didnt blow up yet launching @ 3000 lol.
im right on par for the mods i have. 15.5-15.6. blue estimated 15.7 so im just happy i got .1 better :P
im thinking with new job=new turbo? see what deals winter brings.

My times with headers, intake and tune was 15.5 at 90 so this is good for an impala.

lol you were bangon but i had to work for it, took me 5 runs lol, think if i switched to 3:69 it would help my qtr or would i be in 3rd right at then end? thinking of 3:69 and PLOG then turbo fund.

another thing the humidity was 85% so im thinking i could of pulled a better time if it wasnt so high. only excuse i got lol.

hmmm with the mods in my sig I should be able to pull off how quick of a 1/4mile?

you got plog and rockers over me but no downpipe, guessing "can" tune? mine was incar, on 91 octane.
im guessing roughly the same maybe lil faster, its all in the launch. and the tune.

must be nice to launch your car.. mine just sits there and spins the tires. congrats on the times.

Not bad grim,whats your altitude?i feel you should be a lil quicker but you tried,good work tod with your mods i would say 15.0-15.2,14.9 if your lucky.We had a similar setup when i had my old car and even though i never ran it thru the 1/4 mile based on my 9.4 1/8th id be high 14's.

Thx dmah, altitude is only 650ft, humidtlity was also 85%, my gears ate also 3:05 not 3:29like yours

Even with 2.93's the blue car was into 3rd gear...3.69's, ER rockers, and a PLOG with a retune...MIGHT net you 14's.

Nice times! Especially for N/A.
