LT4 ETs!
I have no mufflers, no cats, resonator, H pipe, Cut open airbox lid and fresh tranny and rear diff fluid as well as a fresh fuel filter. I was launching off idle and shifting at different points experimenting between letting it stay in 3rd and shifting into 4th. my best time of the night was a 13.19@109.19! I think the car still has more in it. just have to practice my launches better. my best 60 foot was 222 so i know i can do better. All in all not to bad for a car with almost 150k miles on it and almost bone stock! as soon as i get my 53.5mm throttle body with a TB bypass and some new tires i should be in the 12s!

Re: LT4 ETs! (1996man)
yeah a 2.22 60 isn't too good. keep practicing. you could probably break 13's with a better launch and the right shift points. haven't raced mine yet. i should be in the same boat as you. good luck though.

With that mph you will be in the 12's if you can hook off the line. I think technique (being consistent with what works for you) and quality of rubber makes a big difference in getting to the 1.9 area 60's...

It's all 60' and not being afraid to shift it. The numbers in my sig are with Firestone SZ50s.
