i ran 18.9 with a 2.7 60ft in my 98-2gnt.it has an aem CAI and a GReady cat back. the car i ran was an automatic. are these times normal? I thought they were able to run 17.4s stock? i know the 60fts suck but even with that i should be in the low 18s atleast right?

The auto is going to slow you down, it's all in the launch. Get a good launch and you'll tick some time of that.

Also what size wheels/tires are you running? A large diameter heavy wheel will decrease time too

Una salus victus.

ya, its all in the launch...

for me, a 2.5 60footer is equal to 16.8-17.3
a 3.1 60footer is 18.1
a 2.4 60footer is 16.5-16,8
a 2.2 60footer is 15.9
(#s from about 20 runs, and thats what i usually turn at the end of the 1/4)

hook em good, and feather da clutch (dont drop it) and u will see better times...o wait, auto... ya, u will be slower on da launch, try to powerbreak after your staged at like 2 or 3grand....

Well i know how to launch a 5sp i regularly do 2.2 60s on 17 inch and an occasional 2.1 but thats on my car my buds is an automatic.do automatic suck that much?

not as much as u made it suck, but yeah they're not too great;) I ran 17.2 first time ever at the track w/ aem cold air intake and I'm auto. Check comp. numbers with your friend's car maybe?

I am glad I have a manual. I haev never owned a auto and probably never will. Unless its a truck or a luxury vehicle.

thats a good idea i think ill check compression cuz even though i suck driveing it the times should have been better then that.what should the numbers be?
