New 1/4 mile times for the Sunbird

Post by 2 liter turbo »

Finally got to the track with my car and was amazed when it ran a 13.61 at 96 right off the bat! That ended up being the best run because traction was a big problem. I ran a 13.98, two 13.8's and a 13.7 at 98 mph. This is still with the stock 43 MM throttle body too. I picked up a Fiero 54 MM throttle body to try next. Oh boy oh boy!

Please go to the Member's Cars and specs section and list what mods you have. I for one would be interested.

I'll bet you'll be a happy camper! My car has exceeded all my expectations so far so you'll probably have similar results.

What are you running for tires..... are they just street radials?

Do you have a limited slip installed?

Those times sound great....keep it up

So as you saw I have the BFG drag radials and my best 60 ft time was a 1.94. I do have the Engineered Performance LSD in a new transmission I had built but unfortunately haven't had a chance to install yet. Someday soon!
