Ran the 1/8 (only thing close) the other night. Ran a few 9.3s when the sun was up. Temp was lower 90s with about %80 humidity. Sun went down, was still upper 80s though. Here's my best run of the night.

R/T: .812
60': 2.170
330: 5.980
1/8: 9.177
MPH: 76.35

I don't think that's too bad for a near stock 1990 350. Someone said that would put me at low 14s and possibly high 13s. I dunno about that. Any idea what that would come out to in the 1/4?

My Z28 ran stock,

60' - 2.139 (but I did get a couple of 2.06's in there)
330' - 5.929
660' - 9.097@77.99 MPH
1320'- 14.085@99.16 MPH

To run a 1/4 @ 14.11@95.98 MPH with a 1/8 @ 9.177@76.35 MPH would mean you would get (1/4)/(1/8) of 1.538, which is what cars with very strong topend charge get. Those year 350's were low end cars. If you say his 1/4 MPH would be 101-102, then it might pull it off then.

But none the less, a good running car.
