has any TL-S on spray run at the track yet? im going to be putting my spray on my car soon. just wondeing if ne one has and what numbers u got?

 

Do a search...

joecoool has and really has a sweet set-up...

 

14.6 with 55 shot. before headers and before v-tec controller. but with all the other mods listed below.

 

thats with the 19's on and the air tanks right?....cause i remebmer someone running a similar time with just an intake...im curious aobut how much you car weighs with all your mods..do you know?....must be heavy as hell

 

That is terrible!!!!
I thought those cars were supposed to be fast.....
14.5 seems slow.... what is the "normal" 1/4 on them??

 

most run 14.9__ stock 02-03 TLS

 

Superballs, you got a fricken nice car. How much did that custom fiberglass dash and air ride run you?

 

You mean he only got .3 with all that crap on the car including NOS??

 

Thats pretty good actually for his car. All that air ride stuff is heavy as crap and not to menntion he has a full steroe system with it and 19's.

 

O/K....
Let's say he was going for 1/4 times without all the weight
of (cosmetic) boltons....
What would it be good for???

 

I ran 14.81 with Stone Headers and AEM cai...

 

See my sig. That's my stock TLS before I added the Icebox. It was also my first time at the tracks. I'm going back as soon as the weather permits.

 

100 shot

wuteva Mr. T/A...

Most run around 15.0 stock; I ran a 14.5 with my bolt ons after not prepping the car or anything. All crap in the trunk, etc...I bet I could maybe run 14.2xx tops, but what do you want from a fwd, semi-luxury sedan?

I think joecoool ran a 14.0 or a little into the 13's with a 75 shot and an intake only...
The two guys times I've seen with the supercharger were a best of 13.7xx, again without prepping...
FWD traction is a bi+ch and a 13.5 is gonna be about it for most of us to ever strive for...

 

R 10 apple,

what benefit does the pulley replacement provide?
How much/how tough to do it?
Do you need any mods to go with it, like H/E?

Thanks

 

Looks nice in my signature. Helps the rev's climb quicker. Lines UR's pockets...

Got mine for $198; $55 installed (took an hour) and had to buy a belt for like $10 or something. I suppose I coulda put it in myself, but I tried a new local shop to see what they were all about...You can get the full set right now from NOPI for under $250, but the others provide no real gains--just the crank...

Nope, don't need a thing except the green...

 

hrmmmmm 13.9's....thats it? daym id thot we'd atleast be able to hit consisten 13.7's

 

There is a guy on the CL forum running 13.5s.. I think that is hte lowest ive seen....


The best set up i would think would be 3.5 upgrade with a supercharger...

 

Aheam, cough cough. And a tranny upgrade!

 

Mr Apple...
No flames intended...
I happen to have a 99TL as well and find it REALLY slow...
And yes I have an 01 T/A with the usual boltons and it will absolutely destroy it...
I am just surprised that the TLS's are not faster with bolt on's..
Traction is a big problem for my T/A as well...Off the line,it will just spin...

 

A '99 TL would be a dog vs. a stock TL-S, much less a modded TL-S. Why would you even think to compare it to your T/A? I will say my car is quicker than a stock Mustang GT and I ran many at the track...How fast is your T/A?

 

We need to argue in just one thread....

T/A runs low to mid 13's..
Again, traction is the big problem with street tires...

Chris..

 

That is faster than a TL-S (obviously), but slow in the grand scheme of life (to me, anyway). Don't brag too much about that here as some guys' fart-can, stickered Civics will destroy you running 12's all day, every day...

 

We are not talking light bolt on Civics...
Lets talk a S/C'd head and cam LS1 and where does the Civic fall then??

Mr, Apple...:p

 

Welp, I saw two Civics run low 12's in Gainesville and destroy newer Mustang Cobra's and Z06's with bolt-ons, so go figure. A street driven RX-7 ran three runs under 10.8...

A guy with a big, bad Pontiac GT ran a 12.91 (yup, quicker than your T/A) but he blew his motor at the end of the strip and they delayed abotu 10 minutes cleaning up the track. My Acura ran flawlessly again and again...

 

A pontiac GT?? You mean GTP as in Grand Prix??

No GT in the Firebird line...

 

Yuppers. Typo!

 

The GTP's can be made to put out pretty good HP
numbers,but how they hold up???
Like you said......BOOM.......

 

Lol. Like most GM or Pontiacs. Gotta love the car though while it lasts.

 

Actually the LT1/LS1 small blocks are pretty bulletproof...

So the tranny problems on our TL's are just a inconvenience?? Right....

 

a stock tl type-s is suppose to run a 14.7. but that is probably ideal driving conditions(weather, climate). a professional driver who went to school to test stock cars on a closed track, and run after run after run. im sure that guy ran a few 15.1 15.2 before he hit 14.7 once or twice. i dont wanna burst any bubbles, but i actually hit that 14.6 before the rims. but i did have my air cylinders and air tanks which im sure weigh a lot. it was also my first time ever running any car at the track, so i know if i had the track all to myself, (dream come true) i could have beaten that time. someone asked earlier about prices, i paid 3200 for the air ride installed. and 500 for the custom dash without any of those parts.
