I'll bite at this one.

My 89 base Auto Corvette w/ 2.59 gears and cat back exhaust, nothing else.
Unable to hold first gear, shifter adjustment issues, used drive, shifted by
itself at 4300 rpm.
60' 2.477
1/8 9.600 @ 77.71
1/4 a mind altering 14.655 @ 96.93

W/ 3.45 dana 44 and cats removed, adjusted shifter, and manually shifted.
Car wouldn't shift until it hit 5800, kind of weird.  Motor stone stock
original.

60' 2.124
1/8 9.199 @ 75.35 <========== what happened to the mph here?
1/4 a staggering 14.252 @ 98.66

All runs on Dunlop street tires at Carlsbad raceway.  Estimated weight
around 3250.
