13.6

If that's so, don't I have more done, only difference being the 3:73?
I cannot see that little gear difference making up half a second.

he went from 14.1 to 13.5 with the gear swap. makes alot of difference.

I'm betting the car was a 6 speed

he said it was a built a4?

converter too? If so that seems super fishy. auto cars don't pick up that kinda ET with a gear swap, period.

[JoeliusZ28]

Thats true. And just to throw another example out there, jons old Z28 ran a 13.9 with nothing but a catback and CAI. It was an auto car with a 2.73!

If the car didn't have a converter I could see it picking up .2 in the 60' alone with a step gear. Stock converter/stock gear fbodys are DOGS in the 60'.

People say that a tenth in the 60 foot is worth close to 2 tenths of total ET.

You don't think it would pick up that much going 2.73 to 3.73? Not sure if thats the case but just wondering.

not if it has a converter. many people see gains but you need to factor in the difference the gear change alone did, not the DA.

I'd say low 13s if you drive the Hell out of it .

The only place your really going to gain from a gear swap in an automatic is in the 60'.

[Gregs_gsxr]

my guess is going to be 13.38-13.43

what do we win if we are really close or hit it on the tailpipe ?

he has time slips from both days. before and after the swap. the only thing that was different was the 3.73s. idk what to tell ya lol

edit* it was a 93 lol so its was an odd ball to begin with.

[DETROITMUSCLE]

I don't doubt that he does, did the car have a converter? That makes a difference what was the DA on each pass? that makes a difference where the shift points adjusted for the gears on changed in any other way?

he has slips from when he went 14.1 at a milan rental and i personally watched the car go 13.5 at highschool nationals afte the gear swap. and no it had a stock convertor.
