This is nothing against you UltraZ as it just confirms how horrible all our 60ft times truely are. I am even seeing drag radial cars with trailing arms that cant break a 1.7 60ft  . Come on guys this is NOT acceptable and is why the GT can run away from us at the drag strip. Is it the height of the tires? the wheels? the irs? the weight? We need to figure it out otherwise we will never be competitive at the strip. I have seen base Corvettes get 1.7 60fts on street tires with a stock car and suspension for crying out loud so I bet its not the IRS. |
I pulled a 1.84 on stock Pzero`s, you have to have a tune though to remove the Torque Management. Stock tune GM has so much torque management there is no way you will ever pull a decent 60 foot. Case in point I went to the track w/ just headers and x-pipe no tune no intake, dead hooked and could not get better than a 2.09 60 foot. I ran my times in the sig, w/ a tune(no torque management and firmed tranny tune) I only had the ARH 1 7/8 headers xpipe w/ cats and a ADM Race intake plus that tune. Car ran pretty good for only having 364rwhp.
So the answer is get the torque management removed and you will pull a decent 60 foot, well you Mn6 guys will have to learn to slip the clutch properly but otherwise thats whats holdingthese cars back in the 60 foot dept. I don`t think the stangs TM is as invasive as the Camaro`s. Regardless at the same rwhp numbers the Camaro will lose all things being equal do to its additional weight over the stang.
Thats why we have to stay 25-30rwhp ahead of them to make up for the weight. So that means if they have full bolt-ons and we do , you will need a cam to stay in front. If they run nitrous you have to run a bigger shot. With a blower we should be able to run about 2lbs more than them on a stock motor and hopefully just have enough extra there as well. Of course don`t forget we have to hook it and be great drivers as well.
