my gtu ran its fastest time today
rt .516
60 2.247
330 6.727
1/8 10.391
mph 67.15
1000 13.574
1/4 16.246
mph 83.58

keep in mind this is a 89 gtu with headers, hiflow cat, intake and NONFUNCTIONAL six ports. i think i did ok

 

guess no one cares

 

I care man....c'mere! Gimme a hug! Ok, there we go, all better.

Now go race some riced-out civics! Go get 'em Tiger!

 

civics *COUGH* maybe a rustang GT

that's still 1sec+ slower than my slowest 1/4 mile ever in my integra

actually 1.4 seconds slower

 

can i tell you how much i care

 

That's pretty good for an N/A!
I know some guys here in their TII's that don't run that fast!
Keep up the good work!

 

thanks. i should be knocking on the 15's door now cause i have sort of working six ports now

 

It's hard to tell who won on that vid. Bad angle I guess? What did you run that time anyways?

Slap on a turbo and you'll really fly!

 

the mustang won at the VERY end. ummm i have a FD, no need to waste money turboing my daily driver

 

dont take this the wrong way, but i ran 10.2 1/8th mile at 67.
when i went to the 1/4 mile track, i ran 16.1 at 83 with a 10.39 1/8th mile.

that was in my old car, it was a 87 base model with a k & N drop-in ONLY. i think your car can run much better than 16.2.

 

i didnt notice it before but NONFUCTIONAL six ports...meaning stuck closed or wired open?

 

That's sweet! Especially considering that your 6-ports aren't working.

Killer light and 60', too...

 

they were stuck closed. they are semifunctional now, after i get my other car back this one will go into the shop to get those fixed and maybe some other tricks

 

ok i can understand now. i didnt notice it at first then i thought maybe non fuctional meaning the are only open. now your time makes sense.

 

yeah my six ports are stuck open now..... i might run it again wednesday or next sunday and see how she does. hopefully rip a 15

 

You probably will! Every N/A FC I've seen with WORKING ports was slower than that... and you had two ports tied behind your back so to speak...

 

thanks, i'm going to run again atleast one more time. its tempting to put my FD drag radials on the back but i'm not sure if they will fit. they will probably slow the car down. i hope like every other time i've gone i don't break anything more videos to come of course, hopefully beating something this time

 

You should be able to go MUCH faster with the six ports open. In my 84' 12A With header, K-n-N my best time was 16.7.

Good Luck!

 

Ya vosko I was pretty impressed with that mustang GT run. Did the GT have any mods at all? How much did you end up losing by anyways? With good 6 ports you prolly would have ran him pretty good. With your 89 what is wrong with the 6 ports, are they just stuck from buildup and being old or what?

 

i got beat by 1.2 seconds but with my launch prolly only half a second. my six ports were stuck closed due to previous owner being an old lady and not driving the damn car. i hope to get my six ports fixed completely, new suspension installed, and 4.3 LSD this week, but we'll see what happens

 

I'm rebuilding an '83 12A and find myself a little dissapointed that stock 1st gens only do about 17 sec. 1/4 mi. My 4500 lb, 5.3L, 285hp, unmodded Chevy extended cab pickup is supposed to do around 16.5sec@80mph. I suspect my wife's Buick would be comparable with its 3.8L 200hp; the truck feels faster though.

I guess power to weight is everything when it comes to 1/4 mile times. If all I want it speed, I guess I'll go for the bridgeport and 650 Holley or just drop in a TII. After driving my truck around the track at Hallett one race weekend, plowing front tires squealing around the corners at 30mph, I know which would go faster there.

I wanna go faster and the Rx is an RX.

 

first gens with bridgeports have gone 13's. you will not be disappointed

 

good job dude....are you sure I'm knockin' on the 15 sec. door with my car the way it is? You've seen it...so please be honest, but not mean....Thanks alot....Congrats again on the time.....where did you run?

 

p.s. I hit 125 on the GSP today(at or above redline 4th gear), wanted to go into 5th(yes...she still had some more in her), but hit crazy-*** traffic....
