1/4 mile ET guesses????
Ok so my car has been down pretty much all year cuz its been running like hell. Its an L98 Full bolt on car. It was running 13.52@102( GM High-Tech Performance Budget Bolton Shootout 3/07) 103*day.that was with a blown head gasket between # 3 and #5...lol. I have just added a ZZ4 cam and Brodix 200IK heads and replaced my stock injector (5 of which went bad from the car being in storage last winter) with 24lb injectors. and of course fixed the head gasket issue. So on a day with good air in say the 50's-60 temp range i'm hoping for mid-low 12's what do u guys think?! It had run 13.21@104 on cool days when it was just a full bolton car.

Re: 1/4 mile ET guesses????
well first off i think you could use 2800-3200 stall for best ET performance but not a big deal
heads and that cam with 1.6 rockers could be worth 25-30whp or more. I think mid high 12's isnt out of the question at probly 106mph. you'll need more launch to go better which comes from abit more stall speed

if I only get 25-30HP from Brodix 200IK Heads a ZZ4 cam and replaced blown head gasket I burn the car in the driveway. A 70HP gain should be min.

I guess i'm being conservative with it, i kinda read it wrong i thought you had the zz4 cam in when u ran 13.2 at 104. my bad.
that cam isnt all that huge but compared to the stock L98 cam its a nice mild step up. now that i think about it, i think the cam is worth 25whp over stock cam and with those heads i could believe another 30whp, so 50 at the wheels wouldnt be too far off. thats a good deal of power tho.
I made 254 and ran 12.9 at 103.8. local guy with a 408 stroker put down 308whp and ran mid high 12's at 110. and i'm lighter than his car. 50whp is a good increase.
think you'll be in the mid 12's at or near 108 mph. i'm gonna guess your near 300 whp with that setup with good tune
