idea of 1/4 time to expect

i havent got it tuned up yet, i just rebuilt it, but it seems to run pretty strong!

stock 350 with new rings, bearings, .440 int/exh cam, 74 z28 ported heads 1.90,1.60 valves , performer intake, gasket matched, k&n, quadrajet but Tuned up to proper a/f ratio or possibly holley 750 double pumper!, 160 thermostat, quicker advance curve, vette servo, b&m shift improver, 3.73 posi
700r4
torque arm angle changed to 3 degrees and getting my lca's on, also 7/8 inch rear sway bar, battery in trunk

comp t a 's 245's

estimated at 3200 - 3300 lbs after diet

im still breaking it in, but anyoen got any ideas as to what it should run? i figure a pretty low 14 after a few races to get it tuned up

also, how fast with a set of slicks

"74 z28 ported heads" - sounds suspiciously like smogger heads. Not good.

Cam isn't too hefty-sounding, either.

You might get low-14's, but I wouldn't think you should fall on your sword if it's mid-14's or higher. Slicks might improve your 60's, hard to say what they'd take off without knowing what kind of traction problems you'll have.
