The car had it share problems later that year with a high miss which later my fuel pump went out then after that my opti went out. So i dunno maybe it could have ran even better then that. I live in St. Louis and i go to Gateway Internation which is sea level and i except it to be in the 50's for my first run. My COMPLETE mod list would be Morso cold air, trick flow elbow, tb bypass, LT4 knock, mac mids, no cat, loudmouth, no egr, no air pump, 2800 midwest, transgo shift kit, tranny cooler, 3.73's, 1.6 rr, k-800 springs, cc306 cam, new timing chain, harden pushrods, decent tune, and will be running of BFG drag radials. I am really hoping for mid 12's but i will just be happy to run anywhere in the 12's. THANKS!!!!
From all that I gather that you ran 13.5 - 13.6 then added:
  • Converter, shiftkit, suspention components, and tires -.2 in your 60'
  • Cam, 1.6 RR's and a tune +30/40ish HP and also cutting about .1 off your 60'
My guess if everything was similar in weather the day you go to the track then you should drop to at least a 1.6-1.7 60' which would take you down to ~13.1 with nothing else, then add more power say 40 HP, and your gearing then you are looking at close to 12.5 or so as a comparison to what you ran before. Now through weather and repaired issues from the last run and that could add up to more on the topend pushing you deeper into the 12's.

So if I were a betting man and you suspension was set up correctly, then I would wager on you getting about a 1.63 60' and run a 12.37 @ about 106.5, what do I get if I win???

Re: Track opens soon need guesses?

Similar mods to my combo pre SC except:

I have a smaller GTP 4 cam 226/236 534/560 114lsa, I have LT's+E Wp but less gear (3.42). With 1.77 60's I went 12.3's-12.4's @ 110-113 in good decent weather.

Good weather, car running right and traction you should go low-mid 12's. My shorties were a big bottleneck on my car.
