what do you think my car would run in the 1/4?

crate GM 350 (probably a goodwrench) with a little under 20k miles on it, with a t-5 tranny, hooker cat back, stock manifolds, no emissions, with a 4 barrel edlebrock carb (i think its like 650cfm) edblebrock lower intake and a K&N air cleaner. '88 GTA rear end. what would i run in the 1/4? just a rough estimate

both. going with what you said (NOS shaving off 1 second) and the fact that i could possibly get 13's on the motor alone? and 12's with nitrous? i doubt that...

hey id be the first person to want those numbers, but im just trying to think logically and realistically

yea im not huge on NOS so im not too knowledgable with it, but i see decent increases when people use NOS, even though it is gay ..... but yes i have seen 13s and 14s with a 350 and basic mods, but i just noticed that urs is a carb, im real sorry man, i was thinkin about a 350 TPI, i have NO CLUE what a 350 carb would run, never seen one run it, im sorry... but i have seen 350 TPIs run 13s and 14s, best run i ever saw was 13.85 with basic mods, i never found out everything he had but it was nothing huge! so yea good luck with ur quarter mile time and im sorry i didnt read closer about ur edlebrock carb.... im dumb!

hmmm i see. well none of the carb parts are super performance pieces so i dont think ill be in the 13's. 14's MAYBE, if i get good enough at driving this car..but id say 15's at best the first couple of runs..if not some 16's

i guess there isnt much performance difference in fuel injection and carburation, odd... maybe just efficientcy and economy and what not, i dunno... haha but yea drive well and expect a good time, NOS SUCKS! N/A...turbos...andsuperchargers are where its at...!
