What is a typical 1/4 mi run for a stock 93 SE 5spd? Anyone know?

If that's the case, then what does a decently modified one do? Or better yet, one that's been heavily modified? (everything short of nitrous and a SC?)

Hmmm When I was stock I ran

a 15.7@89.7 mph. Of course I had(still have) a badly slipping clutch that I believe is costing me anywhere from .2-.4 in the 1/4. Of course I have many more Mods now but I havent had a chance to take it back to the track yet.

It depends on the driver and track. For example if your track is at sea level expect the best ET's. However if its about 2000ft+ above sea level expect to run about 3-9 tenths slower. It mostly depends on your driving though, put it this way you won't get good ET's unless your 60ft's are 2.3 and lower.

see my link I compiled on my website:

it's under the performance link on the left. It has some additional times other than the 1/4 mile too.

I'll try to post it here, but I'm not sure if it will work:

Thats weird that you only dropped .5 sec after NOS. My NOS makes a heal oh a lot more difference than that. I havent run it on the track yet but I'm estimating that it's about 1.5 to 2.0 sec. faster. Maybe your hookup was wrong. Either way 13.8 is pretty damn good. God I wish I had a 5-speed, and an SE.



92GXE, touring wing, 18” racing wheels, Port&Polished intake, custom intake, custom yellow interior, racing seats, back seats taken out and replaced with subs and amps, NOS kit, Suspension tech. Lowering springs, custom grille, soon to be custom painted and have the whole engine rebuilt for big shot NOS and custom SC and tranny converted to 5-speed.

depends on the shot you are running....2 seconds off a 1/4 time is ALOT...what shot are you running?

Yeah depends on the HP shot what are you runnin'

Not sure but didn't you just have a 50 shot Bryan, is that the fastest Max on the boards or is it Don in Texas? Or is that just the fastest 3rd. Gen. so far?

I'm not sure what shot mine is but its probably just the 50 or 60 shot. I know that gives me an 80hp gain. I swear that it has to be at least 1.5 sec faster. When I can get on a track I will find out. I still have a lot of mods to do. I'm hoping for a big shot by summer. At least a 150 or more.
