1/4 mile for 86 T/A

Hear it is, my cousin has a 1984 Firebird SE with a 1986 Trans Am driveline. He wants to know what it should run in the 1/4.

I think, from what I've heard, that he has the lb9, but I'm not 100% sure (if not than what). I'm possetive he has a stock 700R-4 and I think he was told 3.73 gears.

His mods are only exhaust, with Heddman Headers, Supercats Cat, 3" Intermediate, Flowmaster 80 series Cat Back. The car has been tuned up with new plugs, wires, cap, rotar, and before we run, we will drain all the fluids and put clean stuff in.

I'm thinking that in good running condition (Don't know condition yet) it should go 15.5-16.0. What do you guys think it should run.

And on a side note, will he be able to run my car heads up, and if not what will he need to do. By next year, I'll be shooting for 14.0, expecting to be 14.5 when track opens and H-pipe goes on. Any help is appreciated.

if he has the gears and gets ok hook he will run in the low 15's prolly. if he has all the free mods and a CAI he may be able to pull into the 14's, but i would say 14.70's at best.

later

theres some dude with a bolt on LB9 running like 14.40s or something like that... Do a search in the member profiles and you should come up with something.
