What should this p.o.s run?

38k on it, w/ a very slight head gasket leak which doesnt effect performance (seals up very quick after warmed up, no coolant in oil, runs perfect). Stock plugs/wires still.

Thinking about taking it to the 1/4 next couple weeks.

Who makes this pos?

talken about the car in the sig.

I would guess high 13's would be in the ballpark.

whats the track elevation and approx. temperature going to be?

Elevation: 660 feet
Temp: Prolly around 70 F

With good air, no problems with the car, decent traction and a competent driver 13.5-13.7, at 100-102. I was running 13.5's with similiar mods way back when in decent air (although I didn't have a "tune").

Good traction will be key. I would say high 13's probably if your on a street tire. If your on a radial then mid 13's should sound right.

Good luck with the piece

Fixed. All modern street tires are radials. A drag radial is an entirely different thing.

Fixed your grammar while I was at it. :p

I would fix that head first.......

You should fix it now, before it becomes a bigger problem.

Yeah....like pushing the car to its limits and putting AF under the tires doing 100 m.p.h

I'm gona bars leak it temporarily, since I dont have time to fix it for a while. The cars gone to WOT many times and never had a problem. Like said the head gasket is very very minor and seals up when full warmed. I add like a 1/4 cup every 4 months

You dont understand how minor it is, I contemplate even fixing it. The dipstick only went down maby 4 notches over 5,000 miles.

Are you even completely sure it's a head gasket leak? Do you have other evidence? There are other ways that engines can consume oil.

Thank you, My's grammar is been faltering for years plus now.:eek:
;)
When my head gasket went out, I had white smoke out the tail pipe as well as a sweet aroma in the exhaust. There are many signs of a failing head gasket.

There is no smoke out the rear or smell at all. And I'm not talking about oil, just coolant. I got my oil tested for coolant by my dads company (they do oil testing) and they said there was no coolant in it. The reason I think there is a slight leak is because the car did overheat a couple times. Not too bad but in the red. That and I saw this: http://web.camaross.com/forums/showthread.php?t=531523

When looking at my motor. I will post picks, not sure if its coolant or what.
