1st Gen 1/4 Mile times

Shee it!

Sounds like my dads old Nova. Doesn't remember what he did to the car other than the usual carb, headers and cam. He thinks he did a few more things to it but can't remember. The car did a 14sec @ 120mph. Wouldn't hook till 4th gear on the largest street tire he could find. I wish I had that car.

Ran a new best of 15.94. Only thing changed was drilled banjo bolts, fixed AFC line, and added a 140lbs passenger. Almost beat a Mustang but when I went to shift into 4th, the shifter came loose and just rotated.

My brothers 03 6.0L ran a 14.1 on just a tuner and EGR delete... Beat a brand spanking new Camaro SS with 500 miles on it. All 4 tires sorta jumped off the track when he launched.

Did it short shift 2nd to 3rd?

[JustinRhodes]

It did very bad. Ratchet shifter on the way soon though to fix that Also with a new vb so I can lock it up in 2nd with the shifter in 2nd. I guess I could shift it manually on the column but I'm scared I'll throw it up to far and hit reverse

[dazedandconfused]

I thought it did. Sounded like soon as it hit second it went ahead and jumped to third.

It did pretty much, unsure why it does it though. Ratchet shifter should take care of it, but I wont be able to lock it up in 2nd.

Have you messed with TV cable adjustment.

My dads dakota traps 118, but runs 10.80s. Its also putting down 1.6 60' times

Have you messed with TV cable adjustment.

Tv cable has been adjusted 100 times, when the torque converter is locked, it just shifts out of 2nd REALLY fast. If you leave it unlocked it works like it should.

Sounds lime a valve body issue
