ETs are gear and driver...put some drag radials on it and 4.10 or better gears and you'll get 12s easy

Definately need drag radials and to improve my driving skills.

That's what I was thinking. Thanks for the advice.

actually, reason I'm tellin ya this is cuz I know....

I had a 93 GT with a VR-4 Paxton blower...not the best, but my car went from a 13.3@109 to a 12.8@112 just with the addition of drag radials. I'm actually thinking of putting them on the Vette now...

For the last few week I have been scoping the parts for sale/wanted sections for some low budget wheels and drag radials. When the timing is right, I'll get em.

Again, ET is driver, trap speed is HP. I like to keep stuff relevant to what I can do at a stop light....

Just to add to the thread, I had my '92 LT1 M6 at Byron Dragway the end of October. Showing the wife how to drag race the Vette (she already attended the Autocross driver's school), I took it out for a pass. Ran a 13.29 @ 104.16 with a 1.91 60' on the Goodyears. The only mods done to this 94k car are the resonator under the center of the car is replaced with straight pipe and the coolant lines to the throttle body are bypassed. Not even a K&N filter!

She was running 13.70s.

never heard of this myth, slowest c4 I ever owned was a 92 it was a dog to the rest I've had, I have driven many other 92's they all seem slower to me. worst lt1 you can have, less torque and less refined goodies
