What will she run?

I`m hoping for 12`s but since I won`t be able to find out till next year I thought I would ask for some opinions.It`s a 95 Z28 with cai,52mm t.b.,
mildly ported stock heads,hot cam 1.6r.r.,bbk shorty headers,high flow cat,
mac catback,2200 stall converter,3.42 gears,245/50 drag radials 3700lbs.
Just wondering what it should run in the 1/4 and what it should put out on the dyno.

Optimistically you can hope for 320-340rwhp with a little less torque. Then hope for a 12.7-12.9 with a good launch. If I were you I'd try to get at least a 2800 stall in there. A 2200 stall is basically a stock stall converter, because it will only break torque to 1600-1800 just like a stock converter and it should flash somewhere in the 2100-2300 plus or minus 100rpm just like a stock converter.

High 12's with a good launch, might touch mid 12's on a perfect run with the car in perfect running condition.

With the drag radials, if you can launch, 12's should be no problem for you.

This post scared me at first, but I see he is running shorties and a smaller cam. Id agree with everyone here, them shorties are hurting you id say.

How ported are your heads? What's your tracks DA? I personally don't see quicker then high 12s without more stall.

Add 3.73s and a 3200 stall and I could see 12.5s if you can hook, but I would guess 12.8-12.9 as-is

id agree and say high-ish 12's. longtubes/ory, and bigger stall would probably put you at 12.5-6 on a good day
