The New and Improved Quarter Mile List (Page 6/76)
Capt Fiero JUN 25, 12:25 AM
The 3.65 is almost always faster than a getrag on a 1/4 mile drag race. The short 1st gear in the Getrag and needing to do one extra shift at the top area of track actually hinders a good time. With my 4spd car, I could run 62mph coming out of 2nd gear. IIRC I could run about 85mph in 3rd gear. Also the 4spd weighs less than the 5spd.

The reason I won't use one is strictly due to that damn 4th gear, it sucks on high speed long stretches. IE cruising at 100mph for any length of time. But this is the 1/4 mile list so I won't clutter this up with a trans discussion.

Side note, the 4.10 4spd was so weak, that even with a hopped up V6 would split the case in 6 months of playing. Was even weaker than the Isuzu 5spd Trans.

FieroX just made it into the 10s (10.9 @ 127mph). Here's a link to the thread: LINK

And here's a direct link to the video: LINK

I'm posting the links in this thread, in accordance with the rules.

I just noticed this thread, heh. No times for my engine-less Fiero yet.

I saw that Will is listed on here (12.86 @ 106mph (NorthStar V8 / ???)). That's in an '86 GT with a Getrag 5-speed next to the N*.

Don, I will post up the timeslip when i get home. Im at my dads right now.
fieroX JUL 14, 02:48 AM


just looking at this slip, i realized i was running 3 mph slower in the 1/8th than the earlier pass where i went 11.16. Something must of happened on the last half of the pass. I think the car could of gone 10.80 on that pass, possibly faster. Hmmm

Ryan,after comparing your times to mine,it verifies the fact that the supercharger is good at getting out of the hole and through 1000 ft but then they tend to lay down.Where your turbo shows it really comes on at the end wheres its using its boost.Your car did seem to slow down between the 1/8 mile and a 1000 ft compared to my times,I was 4 tenths behind at the 1/8th but onle 2 tenths behind at 1000 ft. and then 4 tenths behind at the end.That shows with a little more tuning and working on a better hole shot you do have more in that old girl.
Good job,keep after it. Don

The time is a little hard to make out on the video - sorry about that. Somewhere I have a better timeslip for 13.19 - I'll try to find it.
I only only use 1st and 2nd gear to run the quarter - you can hear the 2nd gear decel at the end of the run!

X you'll be mine after this week! 96mph in the 1/8? i know you've got some more to pick up there. good showing though.

i ended up have a vaccum leak, so i pulled everything back off, resealed it and now it works. then i ran into the problem of my pulleys not sticking far enough out. the belt jumps two ribs. so i'm going to the shop tonight and see if i can make my own pulley. i hope you are going to the track friday to pull off a 10.60. you'll need it :P
