Ok, I'm not usually big on theoretical stuff, but just humor me here. It's been wet lately, and I have yet to get insurance on my beast, so I haven't been able to take it to the track. I'd like you fellas' input on what you think my car will run with the combo I have. Hit me up with predictions, and I'll post back when I get results (most likely 1/8th mile at first).

Here's what I have:

SBC 400 ci
Weiand Stealth intake
Carter AFB 600 carb
stock smogger heads/cam
no a/c or smog equip
Heddman headers
3" catless exhaust
single-out Flowmaster
Mallory Hy-Fire Ignition box
MSD Blaster 2 coil
2.73 pegleg rearend (I need a posi !!)
stock stall 700-R4
crappy 245/60/15 radials


I really need to get to the track, and I fully plan to as soon as weather and finances permit. This car is a bitsh to launch with the pegleg, gobs o' torque, and nasty tires....I haven't even gotten a good race in it yet!

Thanks in advance for any info, fellas! :lala:

 

Don't mean to be a wet blanket, but I think you'll be a little disappointed.

The Stealth is a high-RPM intake, the cam and heads are pure performance junk. Carb is pretty small for a 400. With stock stall & gears (peg-leg to boot), you'll probably glide off the line, run out of wind at 5000 RPMs, still be in 2nd through the 1/4 mile traps.

I'd guess high-10 1/8's, mid-15 1/4's. 60' in the 2.4's (perhaps better).

 

Maybe, I'm missing something, but my Stealth makes power from idle-6800....

 

I ran high 10 1/8s (10.8) in my 93 Eagle Talon (non-turbo) with 153k on it. This car is WAY faster. I ran 9.5 1/8 in my near-stock Laser turbo. Hmmm....at any rate, I'm hoping for at least high 9's, no more than 10.0 at this tune. The 60' is gonna kill me, tho.

Thanks for the responses, keep 'em comin'!

 

Ran it on the dyno and dragstrip program and got these results


60ft. 2.359
1/8. 9.88
1/4. 15.299
mph. 90.4
This sounds about right to me.

 

looks pretty close to me, I'll let you guys know how it goes when I actually run it....thanks!
