Re: 2.73's performance (MC TORCH RED)
Mine is a bit faster, with just MTI ram air, and A&A exhaust mod, with power programmer, it ran 12.85. Now it has ran a 12.82(hitting rev limiter on 1-2 shift), With an adjustment of the shift point to keep from hitting rev limiter, it should run 12.7, but now i have the ls6 intake and pulley

Re: 2.73's performance (LT1LS1)
The f-body's are definately quick. I've surprised a few Vette owner since I bought mine . With 2.73's, SLP Lid, SLP Ram Air and an SLP catback, I got my 98 Z28 to run consistant 13.0's. Going to a 3.73 has dropped me to a 12.7 (on a hot day with horrible traction). My buddy did 13.7 stock in his 97 C5 with 2.73's. I did 13.6 stock in the Camaro with 2.73's. Much faster than I thought with those gears.
I'm still going to trade it all in for a C5 this year though.

Re: 2.73's performance (MC TORCH RED)
I had a 99A4 coupe with vortex, corsa indy's, bassani xpipe, PLII. Before mods, ran 13.99@102. After mods, ran best of 13.00@109. Just couldn't get into the 12's until I got my 01 Z06! :skep: Guess I'm just a crappy driver! :eek: :sad:

Re: 2.73's performance (Mike Siska)
I got my '01 with 2.73s to a best of 12.99@108. I got sick of being whooped on by everyone that I upgraded gears and TC. Times are in my sig, I haven't run since the 3.73s but when I do I hope to hit lowwwww12s. My best 60-foot was 1.94 on runcraps(the little bit of spin helped I guess!) and I got consistent 1.99-2.05 on drag radials. Hope this helps...

Re: 2.73's performance (MC TORCH RED)
I was running a cut stock airbox(it was barely even a lid anymore!), 160 t-stat, SLP Loudmouth(LONG gone now!), and a 2.4 K ohm resitor in place of the MAT.
