Another time-guess
I know this is probably the worst topic on this board but I'm going to ask it anyway.
I have a 86 IROC w/ LB9 automatic spining 3.23s.
I have installed AC Delco cap, rotor, and plugs.
Accel H.O. coil with 8mm wires.
Slight hesitation from idle to 1500 but I plan on locking the torque converter at about 1600 and manual shifting. Also the car runs up to the redline really fast and I don't want to blow the motor due to lack of funds so I have to let off to shift and step on it again.
I was just curious what times could I expect for a baseline?
Any input will be appreciated.
Thanx
Dan

thought you were talking about 305's in general hehe... that's what I get for skimming over the text.
