I have a 94 LT1 Vert. Would there be any difference in 1/4 mile times with the ASR on or off?

THANKS

You will probably me marginally faster with it OFF. If you start to loose traction and the gas peddle pushes back at you, it will take a fraction of a second to recover.

I am running autocross with it off and am running faster.

Uhh OFF. Most definitely.

Well... it really depends on how in tune with a RWD (powerful enough to spin the tires) you are. For the newb/novice it would be better on. (Especially on a wet road)

If you can recognize slippage and pedal it just enough to reduce or stop wheel spin its always best to leave it off for a 1/4 run.

I've seen many newbs at the dragstrip turn it off and loose it on the 1-2 shift because they are clueless the tires are spinning.

If its a stock LT1 the 1-2 shift is pretty soft. It's unlikely it would spin much.

If you push it too hard off the line, the ASR will cause the car to fall on it's face, it's really embarassing, lol.

The real trick is to find just the right starting rpm, I like 2K to 2,500, and then roll into the gas pedal as you release the brake/clutch. It takes some practice to get the transition smooth. Too much on one side it bogs, on the other it will spin forever.

Tires are a critical factor as well, but that is obvious.

Yes, there will be. Is yours an A4 or an M6? What tires do you have?

Can't speak for quarter mile, but the wife's '92 is WAY faster at autocross with it off. Of course, you actually have to drive the thing...
