Yea well i hope u figured it was an 1/8!!! Ahaha.
Yea well so i went to the track my first time tonight as a spur of the moment decision. I've never been to the track and this was fun and confusing. So my first amazing time of the night was an 11.5, i lost the details cuz i did crappy. Wasn't ready cuz i didnt think the tree was gonna go off as quick as it did. Then next time i was ready. But i was a little too ready i fowled. Im not sure if my reaction time would be really good cuz i fowled but i got reaction = .4419, 60 = 2.7045, 330 =7.4537 and 1/8 = 11.4202 @61.79.
I was happy even though i fowled.
Last run, ( best run
)
Reaction = 1.0398
60 = 2.6694
330 = 7.4061
1/8 = 11.3865 @ 61.57
I really have no idea what is a good time for a 3 speed 2.2 OHV, but i was happy that i improved each time and learned how to race..ahah! I think i may have been able to do better if i hadn't drove down some muddy/ dirty roads right before racing, cuz i spun a little out of the hole on the last run. I just may go back next week just cuz it was so much fun and it was only 10 bucks! But what are some good times for my car?? Anybody?

I guess thats pretty decent, I never ran an 1/8th mile track so I cant compare and I dont have my 1/4mile timeslips here to compare either, sorry

from what i remember i would be in the 10.1 to 10.2 area in the 1/8th. well i always went to a 1/4 mile track, but those are my typical 1/8th mile times. like phil said, im not sure what is good or bad for a 2.2ohv 3spd auto. im just like phil an Ecotec 5spd. yet i was stock when i ran those times. now i got intake and exhaust. no clue whatsoever what i run in either the 1/8th or 1/4mile.
"God invented turbo lag to give V8's a chance"
i ran low 10's in the 1/8
AH HA!!! I had timeslips in my reg dur
my best 1/8trh was a 9.68

my best time i think is 10.32 at 67 or something.
Just bolt ons on a 96 2.2 5-speed with minor bolts ons.
Ran the 1/4 Wed. night, my best 1/8 was 11.334 @ 57.06, but was having problems with the tranny. Motor is built, but I'm running the stock 15" steelies on stock 195/65R15's aired down to 25psi. I was in 1st till just shy of the 1/8, which is too long in 1st. I need to change my final drive to 3.06:1(stock is 2.84:1) and adjust my TV cable out a little to get the tranny to shift correctly. I was having to lift off the throttle to get the tranny to shift into 2nd, which killed my times also. This was my first time running the 1/4, overall though it was great fun!
5spd - 2.2L I4 OHV

1989 Turbo Trans Am #82, 2007 Cobalt SS G85
my 2.2 OHV 5 speed

i'm not sure whats good for the 3 speeds... so yea just figured I'd post my time too since I'm pretty proud of it
Mine was 10.864@64.40 in my 5spd w/ i/h/e I can do better. Jus need practice.

Damn thats fast what kinda mods did u have then?
intake, 4:1 header, full 2.25" exhaust, no cat, upper and lower motor mounts, MSD ignition (doesn't really do much yet) and a built top end (details in my registry)
I still need to get a larger TB and roller rockers to finish the bolt on stuff for now... then its electronics (eManage) and some more small stuff before I boost it.
when i ran my car in the 1/8 mile, i ran an 11.24 e.t. my car has the 2.2/3spd.so i say your doin alright as far as your times go.but the more you race it ,the better you will get .

My advice is to forget about r/ts, as they are totally meaningless for a beginner. Just know that you could sit at the tree for a minute after it flashes green, and you will still run an 11 or what have you.
You have a lot of improvement left in your 60's. I know that the 3 spds are slugs, but you still should be doing better than 2.6. Rule of thumb for street tire'd fwd is <2.2 is excellent, <2.3 is satisfactory, and >2.3 is bad.

Those times are pretty good for a 2.2 with the three speed (auto i asume) my best time in the 1/8th mile is a 10.04 and that is a 2.4 twin-cam 5-speed with a AEM short ram, cat-back exhuast, and B&M short throw. I might be able to get it a little lower if I emptied out the trunk which contians tools, bowling ball, Traxxas T-Maxx, and camping equiptment.
yeah my times were r/t=.311, 60'=2.607, 330=7.672, 1/8=11.868 58.63mph
