15 second 1/4
i had my T/A at the strip this weekend and was running about 15 flat. i got down to 14.5 shifting manualy but thats still B.S for an ls1. i have a 2000 Trans am with an a4 and 2:73 rear end. any ideas on why its so slow?

unfortunatly the gears are really holding you back, drop some 3.73's in it and let us know how it is then

That does sound slow for an LS1. How is your traction and what's your 0 - 60

i honestly couldnt tell u what my 0-60 time is...i was runnig about 2.5 at the 60' mark, high 9's in the 1/8 mile at about 75mph.. i kno my gears are kiling me but it still seems slower than it should be running. i only have a lid on it at the moment so its basicly all stock.

Was it REALLY hot?
Illinois...I assume altitude is about 600 feet.
Might be time for some basic maintanence things. Fuel filter, plugs, etc...

I was at the track that day to and i couldn't believe it either,I pulled a best of 13.4 with my mods due to no traction in first and a crappy2.1 60ft.I guess it's time for some suspension mods.Al hazz I figured the manual shifting would help you,because getting showed up by your buddy in a z28 lt1 wasn't cool

make sure you have the right tb and that its opening all the way...i was running 14.9+ with the wrong tb(truck style) , it was only opening 60% of the way...
dont just open tb by hand have someone hit pedal and someone look to see it open all the way
