Just trying to find out what the best time i can achieve on my 2.4 auto.....i have a stock s-tube with an air filter and solid engine mounts. I also took out all the seats except for mine of course. My best time so far was a 15.44 in the 1/4

Low to mid 15's seems pretty good for what you've got.

The weight savings is definitely your friend.

Thats a pretty quick auto you have there.

Yeah to me that seems to be as fast as your gonna get without doing anymore mods

i could have gotten a 15.3 possibly....i only launched at 2000 when i ran my 15.4 and my r/t was so-so. Im goin back to the track the first weekend in may with spark boot inserts, a high flow cat, and possibly headers.

Did you still have your audio equipment in when you raced? That is a really quick time for an auto.

Just to save you from possible embarrasment down the road...refer to it as a "header" from now on. good times by the way.

^^^Why sparkboot inserts, they do not provide any HP or TQ numbers. In my opinion, I would go for a HF cat with 2.5 piping and a ceramic coated header and why not throw in a bigger Throttle body. That sounds a little better. Dont you think?

Then after that start on fuel mods. Then internal mods for example aftermarket pistons, connecting rods, vavles, port and polish. Then nitrous and you will have yourself a crazy mid 13 second street sleeper, give or take a few.

^^^Ok, you may wanna stay away from load mufflers, but have you ever heard of a sleeper that sounds like a 3 cycinder? No dude, aleast a lot of ricers believe louder mufflers mean more power. lol. But a sleeper, needs to look like a sleeper (Stock), but sound like a mofo.
