Joseph, looking at your setup I see you have stock heads. Did you have them ported and or a three angle valve job done? If not, I would tend to think they will be hurting your times some what with the ZZ-9 cam. With that said and assuming the heads are untouched, I would guess 13.5 at normal track conditions. But as I said, this is just a guess.

------------------
91 GTA 350 TPI. Edelbrock base,ported plenum with stock runners, TB airfoil, AFPR, relocated MAT, stock heads hand ported, TES headers, Flowmaster Cat back, Hypertech chip and underdrives. Best 1/8 mile run is a 8.74 at 79MPH. Best 1/4 mile run is a 13.77 at 99MPH.

The ET will really rely on how good your traction is. If you have 350 HP at the drive tires then you should run about 12.7's. If the engine is 350 hp then I'd guess 13.4's.

and check out the race car

87 IROC-Z Pro ET Bracket Race Car
383 stroker (carbed) with double hump cast iron heads and pump gas
461 Big Block installed and ready for the 2001 racing season

Best results before the 383 blew up
Best ET on a time slip: 11.857 altitude corrected to 11.163
Best MPH on a time slip: 117.87 altitude corrected to 126.10
Altitude corrected rear wheel HP based on power to weight ratio: 476.5
Best 60 foot: 1.662

Racing at 3500 feet elevation but most race days it's over 5000 feet density altitude!
