Question How much time will i drop off?

How much time will i drop off from putting in

brand new 4.11 gears, Eaton posi, and a 2800 stall.

its all stock right now. 350 c.i. with a turbo 350 tranny. im running 15.2 @93 mph. can someone give me a rough number on my new et and trap speed might look like?

along with this i just redid my heads to a 2.02 intake and 1.60 exhaust, new intake and carb, trac bras, line lock, and an elec fan, with all of this im aiming for low 13's. are my hopes to high?

Low 13's? Nah.... I think you'll be closer to high 13's, or 14.0 @95-100mph at best I think?

Take it to the track and let us know how it went!

I'd have to say.... 100 shot of N20! Takes quite a bit of work to knock a full second off the et.

Start with a good air filter, some long tube headers, and a 3" cat-back exhaust kit or a cut out. If that doesnt put you were you want to be, then you'll have to do some motor work, or use a power adder like nitrous, a turbo, or supercharger.

Don't forget about weight reduction !!!!!!

100pounds removed = .1 seconds

Good luck and post your results.

2800 stall??? don't waste the money... get a 3400 at least, and some good slicks. should be good for a few 1/10s

Red face

A good set of headers and a nice cat-back exhaust system should help out quite a bit too... and up your mph. I recommend the Flowmaster american thunders for your car.. they sound cool and flow nice.

I'd say a good stall, slicks or dr's, full exhaust, and some racing springs might get you mid 13s. A tune-up wouldn't hurt either.
