What 1/4 mile time?
Hi I was wondering if anybody on here had an idea of what my car will run once I get the new motor in it. The car is a 92 Firebird with a 700r4 and has 3.73 gears. I have a 355 that I am going to build and it will have flat top pistons, 67cc world products heads, a 288 adv duration cam with 480 lift, a torker 2 intake with a quick fuel slayer 750 carb, it will also have shorty headers and a 2800-3200 stall converter. Thanks!

What did it run with the old motor?
Without knowing how much HP the new engine makes (dyno sheet) and how much the race weight is (with driver), a guess is only going to be a wild guess. Best guess?? 13-15 seconds.

Welcome to TGO. Rather than getting a bunch of conflicting answers, which some may be kind of accurate, get more info after you get it done and use this calculator. http://www.wallaceracing.com/Calculators.htm

Re: What 1/4 mile time?
You gona need em! My last car on street tires only mustered low-mid 14s. Drag radials made it hit a 13.7 Nittos are nice. Its gona test the strength of that 10 bolt. Atleast you have the later 28 spline axles though.
