TL SLEEPER

I have a 2004 auto. With aem cold air ported polished and shaved heads, atlp j-pipe,atlp race pipe and a full megan racing exhaust. Im keeping the 19's on. Any ideas or guesses on what I will run

14.4-6 especially since you're keeping your 19's.

He's talking 1/8 mi. unless this is what you believe a 3600 lb FWD with only 258HP will do.

TL SLEEPER

I am guessing I will run. 9.6-9.8. I will post the times and mph later around 8pm

Sonnick

With a good launch, 9.4-9.7 @76-78.

Dave_B

High 9.7s-low 9.8s@73-74mph. 2.4ish 60 foots.

Yeah my bad-- coulda swore I saw 1/4.

Sonnick

That sounds better than my initial guess. Those 19s will certainly hurt.

What does a stock onr run in the 1/8

I'm guessing around 9.0-9.4.

I also have the 04 auto TL and almost the same exact setup as you minus the port and polish shaved heads.

My best time was 9.5~ @ the Irwindale drag strip and this was when I had all chrome 19's.

TL SLEEPER

Results are
60 foot =2.42
330 foot=6.30
594 foot = 8.94
And 1/8 mile in 9.42 @ 78 mph.
This was my best time others were 9.53. 9.59 and 9.65. Does anyone else have a dry hop problem geting off the line. I think I just have shitty tires.

^ That sounds like wheel hop with shitty tires.

Check your motor mounts and get new tires.

9.42 aint bad, good job! Sonnick nailed it.

Sonnick

Not bad. I had a pretty good guess lol. The car has good potential. A 9.4 1/8th with a 2.4 60' is good for at least a really low 9 in the 1/8th. I believe my 1/8th was a 9.127 when I pulled my 1st 14.0 with CAI/Jpipe. I know it wouldn't exactly be an even exchange given I am 6MT and you are 5AT, but I'd say it's a pretty good idea of what you could run in the 1/4 with a better launch. Try putting your stock wheels and to see the difference. I guarantee with the same exact launch your time will improve by .2 and 1mph.

Dave_B

78mph in the 1/8th is very fast. Much faster than most bolt-on TLS'. Assuming this was the 1/4 mile, the car would be trapping 100-101mph. Seems a bit fast for a bolt-on TL 5AT. Most are in the 94-96mph range and 5AT bolt-on TLS' in the 97-99mph range. 100-101mph would suggest this car has about 50whp more than a more typical bolt-on TL 5AT.

My G only does 77mph in the 1/8 but gets close to 99-100 in the 1/4. At least it did 3 years ago when I ran last.

Nice runs! Those 19's are killing your 60ft. Should be in the low 2.3 range for a TL auto even with bolt-ons. It would be nice to see what you would run in the 1/4!

Very nice run with auto tranny and huge wheels haha got a 1/4 mile track anywhere near you?

TL SLEEPER

The nearest one is in north carolina been thinking of going. And dave b u might be close in the 50 hp difference my head work made more gains than everything else combined. Im going to the dyno this coming week I will post a video. I ran for times and my fastest 60 foot was 2.14. It would have been my fastest run bun I hit the rev limit in 2nd shifting to 3rd. I was think maybe a 9.25 on that run

Sonnick

I'm very interested in your dyno numbers. You should get the Precat deletes as well. They would compliment your setup nicely.

You will run embarassed. Thats what you will run! lol

TL doesnt do well in the 1/8 at all in comparison IMO.

good use of the aman smiley.

TL SLEEPER

Bearcat 94 I could drag that tl-s up any road and time I have 5 local racers I beat day in and day out that have tl-S.including my own brother with a 08 6 speed I pull 2 cars in a race to 120.

Bearcat94

Maybe. But why you picking on me?



Still, I had a quicker 1/8th mile. With stock tires, no bolt-ons.

Your bolt ons helped, but a properly driven TL-S 6MT is going to walk you .. ESPECIALLY when you enter your autotragics 4th gear wall. The TL-S 6MT's 4th gear is extremely strong, it'll stay with cars much faster than your bolted 5AT.

Your brother needs to know how to drive ..

On a side note, I used to have the same exact car as you with full bolt ons except pre-cat deletes .. my car was dead even with a TL-s 5AT from a 50-100 roll.

TL SLEEPER

Ok Tyler t I can drive hell out of a car and when my wife drives my 04 auto and im in the atl she can even beat me. My auto is faster than a tls period

You don't have to be an ass about it. Relax buddy

anx1300c

Dude, you trapped 78 mph in the 1/8. I hate to break it to you, but a properly driven 6MT TL-S can easily trap 100 in the 1/4, and these cars gain ~20 mph from the 1/8 to the 1/4. Do the math and stop acting like you own a 12 second TL.

Hell, my base 6MT trapped 79 mph in the 1/8 when I just had intake and cat back.

SatinSilverAV6

iTrader: (2)

No doubt your TL is quick, however a stock 07-08 TL-S 6MT is the quicker vehicle. Cleary its the driver(your brother) that is lacking skill. Now if your TL were a 6MT and had those bolt ons then I wouldn't doubt it if you pulled on a stock 6MT TL-S then.

Sonnick

This.

OP: If you took off your 19s, you'd probably gain up to 1mph in the 1/8th. Still not as fast as a stock TL-s 6MT, but getting there. If you beat him, you beat him but it doesn't sound right.
