WELL I RAN THE BULLITT AT THE TRACK FOR THE FIRST TIME.... .........BEST TIME OUT OF THREE RUNS WAS 14.4 .......THOUGHT ID DO BETTER BUT NOPE!.....NOW I DEFENITLY NEED TO GET SOME MODS GOING ..... .........IS THAT A NORMAL ET FOR MY FIRST TIME OR IS MY CAR JUST SLOW??.......LOL

[GateJockey81]

if its all stock, i'd say thats pretty good! a set of gears and exhaust will definately toss you down to the 13's.

[DHG3971]

yeah well i have an offroad X pipe ....steeda pullies .....K&N filter....thats it....im thinkin of gettin a JLT cold air and a timing adjuster....and seein what kind of difference that would make...i atleast want to get into the 13s

4.10 gears and e.t. streets, maybe some subframe connectors, and a 5k launch, and your deep in the 13's.

i think you should be in the 13's now.....just take it to the track a few more times and you will see improvment

you should be in the 13's with some practice in the warm weather. in the winter you should be running mid 13's with your current mods. the x-pipe makes a huge difference. just get a K&N and a xcal tuner instead of the timing adjuster/cai.

there was a lot of humidity last night that is always gonna slow the car down i have seen many stock gt's run consistant low 14's on street tires.......................what kind of tires are you running and what were your 60ft times and your trap speeds like? you can make a better analasyis of if it was the car or the drive or why you were not running a faster time if we can get all of the time slip not just the et cause some cars can run a low 13 with a 115 mph when that mph is good for mid 11's when you hook up so lets see what your 60ft was and your trap speed then we can give you some better advice

[DHG3971]

60ft =2.32 trap speed = 98.89 reaction was 1.1248 ........ET 14.4

you must have been running street tires..........with that 60 ft if you dropped it 3 tenths that is potentially 6 tenths off of your et so with some better traction right there you could be at a possible 13.8 now 2.0 60 ft is still not good i ran a 1.77 60 ft in my 99 cobra natuarally aspirated by mainly working on suspension my cobra went 12.75 at 107 with that 1.77 60 ft...... from looking at that your car seems to be running fine your mph should be alil more high but that could just be you loosing a lil time during your shifts....................... steps i would take from here........

drag radials (preferably bfg drag radials)
upper and lower control arms
subframe connectors

these will all help with your traction issue and bring down your 60 ft which is one of the most important parts of your run when naturally aspirated since your not makeing insane amounts of power............i would do supspension first then focus on bolt ons to add power and i would put a cat back on your car too cuase you have all that flow from the uncatted x then it all just gets backed up again when it hits that shitty stock exhaust........just alil advice for you good luck

Thanks for the advice !.....yeah i was spinin for a while before it got traction....i got 10.5 in the back so i was just gettin used to heatin up the toyos. i guess

[Agent Jones]

when dragging is it better to have the traction control on or off?

[vertcobra99]

its better to have it off cause even when your spinning your still getting alil traction when traction control is off as soon as it feels spin it automatically slows the tires down so that they dont spin so your not doin any justice............ and you cant do a good burn out with the traction control on you want your tires nice and sticky.................unless on street tires if on street tires dont do a huge burn out just spin them to clean off all rocks and dirt and that will be fine..........

you should be able to pull 2.0 60 ft's on street tires with some practice...do that before you buy any traction aids.

The first time I ran my Bullitt at the track, I had a similar time..14.4/14.5... and that's with a full exhaust,a JLT and 3.73s on 315 street tires.Yeah, I need the driver mod..but I didn't know I needed it that bad.

practice is the best mod for any drag racer! you can't expect to go the first time and have it down like that.
