1/4mile Times!

I finally got my car running and to the track. First pass was 16.2@105 second pass 14.75@106 spinning and sideways at the 1/8th on both. Got smart and dropped tire pressure from 32 to 17 1/2. Third pass 13.3@88, the trans didnt want to shift :/ Fourth pass 13.15@112 playin the throttle and spinnin past the 60'. Final pass 12.9@113 again playing the throttle and spinnin past the 60'. Need to get my slicks! Thinkin I can get a 12.7@114 on street tires next time out

Slicks or maybe a set of MT drag radials. What gear are you running? Nice times your running there. With that mph you could be down in the 11.80-12.20 range as long as your not racing in some crazy high DA.

Good to see you got it out there! That's an 11.90 car!... I'd guess 116-118mph.

Thanks. Yah we were thinkink high 11's. Can still do some more work on the heads, get a bigger stall, and maybe a custom cam. That should be good for around 500 rwhp. Actually shouldn't need a different cam. Going to work on the suspension and rear-end first.

Shipping those is gonna cost you big time, but sounds like a good price. Metropolis, can't say that that rings a bell.

if you get those 60fts in order (1.8x or lower) and you should have a low 12/ high 11 second car. Did you take off the front sway bar? Weight reduction?

Maybe i'm a pessimist but I do not see anywhere near 500whp coming from that.

ohhh and i might be picking up a 10 bolt with 3.73s and only 20,000 miles as well as some new shocks for next to nothing so that should help some at the track.
