1/8 Mile E.T Estimate

My car is a 1982 trans am with a 305 out of a 80s chevy 1/2 ton pick-up. it has a Edelbrock EPS performer intake, 600 Edelbrock carb, MSD HEI streetfire distributor, Flowtech 1 1/2 shorty headers, 2 1/2" single exhaust with a flowmaster 40 series muffler, Moroso solid motor and trans mounts. It has a borg-warner T-10 4-speed trans with 3.23 rear end gears, it has Lakewood LCA, lakewood 50/50 drag shocks, Edelbrock control arm relocation brackets, Edelbrock torque arm, Edelbrock panhard bar.
The battery is mounted it the trunk?

Re: 1/8 Mile E.T Estimate

Castlegar ? Cool.
What an oddball combination of parts you've got going there eh?
The 4 speed for 1982 Borg warner is actually the T-10, not the M24. Assuming that first gear is left and FORWARD, not back, correct?

I agree with that time guess. Your mods don't really add any horsepower, maybe 10-20HP at the most, with a barebones 140HP 305 you might be looking at 160HP optimistically.

The battery is mounted it the trunk and the front sway bar has been removed?

Basically what you have is a stock truck engine, with stock truck heads, with a shiney stock replacement aluminum manifold. On top of that you have a carb that performs a little worse than stock. Spacer is worth nothing on this setup, IMO. Spark probably isnt an issue on an engine of this RPM range anyway, but I am sure the dizzy is pretty. The headers are not the best, but still better than manifolds. The exhaust is pretty much a stock piece though, to be honest. Minus cat with more noise. The suspension stuff would help, if the car had a traction problem anyway. I would guess high 15s low 16s.

Re: 1/8 Mile E.T Estimate

I ran my bone stock IROC vert last summer. With a full tank of gas, I had a 15.92@85 mph. my 1/8 time was 10.1440 with a 2.27 60" time. A couple low 16 passes were mid to low 10's for the 8th. No mods what so ever, still has the original exhaust on it.

Re: 1/8 Mile E.T Estimate

My guess: 10.34 in the 1/8.

Don't be discouraged, take it to the track on street night and find out. Get a good base line and start tinkering. Nothing more fun than adding parts and going back and seeing how much difference that part ACTUALLY made.

Good Luck
Dan

Re: 1/8 Mile E.T Estimate

Dang, I was looking and thinking, 'I don't remember posting on this thread' then I looked at the date, it's been over a year! You really need to get out the track more often
