1/4 mile estimates....

Well, I would like to see low/mid 14s. Is this realistic? My mods are in the readers rides in my sig. keep in mind this is NOT a peanut cammed car as it is an 85'. The only other mod which i may do (not in the readers rides) would be to put the computer from my 89' into this car and ditch the crappy 85' ecm, then get into prom tuning.

I'd say you should have enough power to be somewhere in the low to mid 90s (depending on elevation, tune etc). How much traction you get with a t5 and street tires is harder to estimate - a 90mph should be good for 15.0 with sufficient traction. Deduct 1-2 tenths for each additional mph.

Just a rough guess. Be sure to post the results when get them.

Yeh, I pretty much figured It would come down to my 60' time. I was thinking about using Nittos, but I fear for my WC T-5 and my 10 bolt in particular if I used those. With a drag radial I would think high 13s possible. I doubt i will run them tho.
