What will i run?
Like the title says i want to know what my car will run in the 1/4.
Modifications:
3.43 posi rear end
xe262 comp cam with pushrods/rockerarms
Built th-350 transmission with shift kit (transpak)
edelbrock dual plane intake (non highrise with egr blocked off)
headers (with only a high flo cat with stock exhaust)
HEI ignition
650cfm edelbrock carburator
Also all the emissions are off the car.
I dont expect much but i just want to see what i can possibly get.

Low 15's, maybe high 14's. It is only a 305.
A guess is just a guess. If you really want to know what it will run, you need to take it to a track. Until then, any wild guess is as accurate as you're going to get.

Probably low 15's high 14's until you help your motor breath better by getting rid of your cats and getting a dual exhaust

Re: What will i run?
id agree.them mods on a smaller older engine amount to a 350.if it hits high 14s be happy.dont expect much. youll be lucky if youre even near 350 hp,more like 300 on a good day and 300-350 hp (gross) doesnt translate into very quick et.just simple math. maximize your fun,no its not a burner but join a bracket racing circuit. it doesnt matter how fast you are,its all handicapped and as long as you have quick consistent reaction times youll do ok and have a blast doing it. nothign like beatng a 10 second car in your 15 second car........

That's kinda similar to my old 305 that has: 600cfm Edelbrock, Performer RPM(non-air gap), 204/214 .420/.442 cam, headers, no emissions, HEI, and it runs 14.4's. Granted I don't really use it since I have a much better motor, but it still hangs around waiting for the next time I blow something up. What's even cooler is that I was messing around one time and put the big turbo on it with 13psi and it ran a 12.2 pulling a wheelie without any spooling issues.
