What 1/4 time do you think I'll get? On and off the juice, see sig for engine info. I think the vette weighs 3600 pounds.
Also how much HP/TQ do you think I'm making with my setup?

Why don't you just take it to the track and find out.

It will probably run 13's or 14's but that depends on traction.

I was going to take it the weekend before the 4th but couldnt get it ready in time. I should be going soon but still need to work out some bugs with my carb. I am just courious how I will do. Traction should not be a problem, I have a stock converter, 255/65/15's, possi traction, and the vette has great weight transfer. I cant even come close to turning them over (well I can but nothing to write home about). I need a higher stall! Once it hits 3k it pulls really good to 6k. If I run in the 14's I'll be bummed, I'm guessing I have about 375 hp/tq on the motor alone.
