Default new best et

Just thought I'd tell someone........I was pleasantly suprised with a time slip of 13.42 @ 101.25mph with a 1.875 60' time. This is on street tires with a 2.73 rear. Previously, my best was a 13.69. I finally have her running like she should thanks to a heated o2 sensor, a new egr valve and some cool weather.

I'll really need dr's next spring with my afr 190's and some sort of cam setup.

Very good ET for a stock TPI. Nice 60' also for street tires, the track must have been hooking.

Can you list all your mods ? I am looking for tips on some other mods to break into the 12's.

Thanks

Vic

Vic'89- My car doesn't have too many mods-- adj. fuel pressure reg., cut air lid, "power coupler" (straight tube that replaces accordian), no screens in maf, air foil, mildly ported plenum, k&n filter, mat relocation kit, heated 02 sensor, no cat, bosch +4 plugs, tpis headers and borla catback. And thats really it unless you count the mobile 1.

Nice? are you kidding that's an awsome 60' on street tires :eek:. Christ I must have some major problems, I'm on drag radials and haven't done better than a 1.92 so far.
