what will or should i expect in the 1/8th mile with my setup?

im just really anxious to see what my car will be like with the new stuff on it . its all the parts listed in the sig and the cam specs are 220/220 . 551/551. 112 lsa and the only tracks around here that are close to me are all 1/8th mile also how much better will teh times be with the 100 shot of nitrous ? the car will be done tomorro just in time to take it to the track ...maybe ...i want to break it in so it will be next week but ill post the slip and show how it performed

i know you asked about 1/8th mile, but i know very little about calculating that in my head (lol), however if i were to guess for the 1/4 mile i would say 11.50's or better. depending on how hard you're able to leave the line of course i would say you are low to mid 12's on the motor, and with the 100 shot it should cut about a second or so off that.

sounds like fun

Those numbers don't match at all.
I run 6.9x at well north of 100 to run 11 flat.

It's just the inverse of 6.8...I didn't really feel like looking into 1/8 mile traps

MPH is too low. I ran 8.6@83mph....I only have an LT1 with intake and exhaust. I saw an LS1 with intake and exhaust run 8.5@87mph.

Try this....1/8 to 1/4 conversion chart.
