This will never be the way, its just too slow and timing is pulled sooo much when you floor it after a dead stop


>Power braked, OD off, let off as going into 2nd : 17.38 @
>79mph

Same thing, power braking does NOTHING you might get up into the rev's faster but the tranny also switches to 2nd before you even get the car moving .


>Starting in 2nd, Power braked, OD off : 17.23 @ 79mph

^^ this would have been your fastest by far had you not power braked.



>Oh yeah, ran on my stock 14s and no spare or jack in the trunk
>w/ a low tank of gas : /

those times are horrible, was this your first time at the track. you should be in the mid 16's. maybe even lower, did you have the final drive gears installed or in your garage at that time?

what were your 60ft times and how bout 330's??

You should try again but without the intake, put the stocker back on and your times will be better.
