Thoughts of my setup? 1/4 mile or hp guesses?

84 Camaro, has a fresh 355, trick flow gen 1 twisted wedge heads, 10:1 CR, crane cams gold extruded aluminum roller rockers, performer rpm air gap intake, new 750 vac advance holley, march serpentine conversion, Hooker super comp long tubes (currently with just hedman extensions and turn downs but I'll probably be ordering mufflers soon) Cam is crane cams energizer 100132 (2,500-5,800rmp range, adv intake/exhaust 278/278, lift .467/.467, .222/.222 @ .050) Transmission is a 700r4 with a 2500 stall, not sure if it has a shift kit or anything but I was told it had one. Rear is a stock 10 bolt with 3.73s and a mini spool (How it was when I bought it, I have a powertrax locker I'm going to install eventually) Only suspension mods are tubular lca's and panhard bar and poly trans mount. Anyone have thoughts, suggestions, or estimated numbers on this setup?

Re: Thoughts of my setup? 1/4 mile or hp guesses?

Thank you for the reply. Thats around where I was hoping, while still being streetable. I was going to pick up some m/t et streets too, maybe some lcarbs, and was considering a 350 turbo trans if my 700r gives out

Re: Thoughts of my setup? 1/4 mile or hp guesses?

I won't drive it much in rain, and was even considering just running the ET streets on a different set of rims to take to the track. (Just not sure if I want to go with 275 50 15 or 275 60 15) I'm in Batavia as well actually

Re: Thoughts of my setup? 1/4 mile or hp guesses?

You have all the parts to make a good runner...except for the cam and converter. I don't see the car running 12's with that camshaft, but it might be real close.

Re: Thoughts of my setup? 1/4 mile or hp guesses?

I may have went too conservative on the cam (converter matches the cam). I wasn't sure of what cam/converter to go with, that's the cam Crane Cams suggested along with approx stall speed. Gen 1 trickflow heads that I have I believe are limited to a .525 lift unless the pistons get fly cut for the valves. I'm open to suggestion tho, I was thinking about tearing it down again this winter and changing the cam/trans/stall.

Better choice for a cam down the road?

Along with a bigger stall of course

that's right your car came with 15 's . 3:73 and a 26 inch circumference tire make a nice strip setup. should be able to finish the end of the quarter at about 5500 to 6000 rpm's.
