Im looking to get a 92 Trans Am and I was just wondering what you guys think it would run, they are supossed to have 240hp. After I get her I want to swap the auto tranny out for a t56 out of a 94-97 f body.

 

I'll guess anywhere from high 14's to low 15's

Is it a 305 or 350?

 

240 huh, that's the 350 isn't it.

I'd say you're lookin at mid 14s with that.

 

depending on how good you are at driving stick, could be mid 14's to 25.

6 speed = 6 chances to f*ck up

 

If you put a 6 speed in that car you should be able to cut some low 14's easily if you can drive that thing halfway decent.

 

i believe the 92 350 had 245horses. The 700R4 kills 20% of your flywheel hp and the T56 supposedly only takes about 12-15% away, so your looking at about a 20 hp gain at the wheels by swapping the manual. If you can drive pretty good I'd expect low 14s.(if you swap in some good gears while your at it) With a 6 spd I'd recommend 3.73 or 4.11

 

yea I want to put in 3.73 gears

 

mid 14s, 3.73 would help alot..

 

I just ran my camaro at the track yesterday. It's pretty much all stock I ran a best time of 14.416 I believe. Plus it snowed that morning and it was cold all day at the track.
Pretty good for my first time out.

 

Your first time out with it? high 14s cuz you wont know the car.

Once you get to know it, probably mid 14s.

3:73s are too much for TPI. Trust me, been down that road. They actually made my time worst.

 

really i never knew 3.73's could hurt..

i guess maybe somewhere in the 3.4X would be better than..

i have the stock 3.23s and my cars seems like it dies half down the track..

 

yea. a buddy of mine had 3:23s in his 350 TPI (auto). He was running consistent 14.4s. He swapped and put 3:73s in. His 1/4mile time was exactly the same. The only thing that improved was his 60ft time.

When I had the 3:73s, I didnt like it. It revved too fast. For auto guys , they may like it. But for the manual guys, I say stay around 3:42ish. Of course, 3:42 rears are hard to come by. So I settled for a 3:23, which I don't regret at all. Like I said before, the car stays in 3rd through the traps (just barely)

 

i think that i might have to differ with the "your first time out"idea. the first time in my life that i ever ran my car was the best pass to date. which by the way was a 14.12 with the mods listed in the sig.

 

YUP. Im there right now

 

I Don't think that you'd get into 6th in the quarter unless you had about 7:1 gears

And there are only 5 shifts in a 6 speed assuming you start in 1st gear

 

She......? her....?

IT? maybe? A car is non-gender.
