Going racing! Reply #4 – February 24, 2008, 12:22:59 PM HeheheheIt'll go 14's with some traction (NEW track surface + NO VHT = LOTS of wheelspin!), the MPH is already there. The MPH-to-HP calculator says 303HP at the flywheel for the weight.Only mods from stock (stock being a genuine P71 VIN code Interecptor) is the K&N FIPK GenII CAI, the 2.5" cat-back (under-axle) with Flowmaster 40's, and the Superchips out-of-the-box tune.I still need to flush the coolant, install a 180* T-stat, change the plugs, flush the trans, change the gear oil, put on a new serpentine belt, and get ready to do the brakes (the road race laps showed some weakness there! ).There's drag racing again in 2 weeks, so I'm going to get all the fluid swaps done and try again (hopefully with some traction). 14's would be nice in a 4150Lb boat!

Going racing! Reply #8 – February 25, 2008, 10:45:05 AM The other car was 12-second GTO with major traction problems (35-series Z-rated road-race tires and a new track and a new driver). Quote Selected
Going racing! Reply #9 – February 25, 2008, 10:47:07 AM This GTO actually:I got to drive it too (13.8@103 with a 2.2 60', the tires were NOT suited for drag racing!). He's buying a set of DR's and trying again in 2 weeks. Quote Selected
Going racing! Reply #10 – February 25, 2008, 11:02:05 AM you could get into the 14's easily with a mach 1 motor. :D/shameless plug Quote Selected
Going racing! Reply #11 – February 25, 2008, 11:07:46 AM Ahahahaha!! You are correct Problem is I only have $3500 in the WHOLE car, mods included. So a $5000 engine/trans (while still a great deal) is just a tad outside my budget on this car. :hick: Quote Selected
