don't sound so smug

Just remember a stock 86 Caravan would have no problem dispatching your 88 5th Avenue.

Be glad you've obtained a 305.

I'm running 200 RWHP (dynoed it) which would be about 240 flywheel, with my '85 L69 with a T-5 and 3.73 posi, a few basic mods... My best run so far is 15.0 @ 96mph and that was with a 2.4 60ft time. I just got some ET streets that should put me into mid 14's I also have some roller rockers and intake that should help some too.... I've seen a couple people running low 14's with the same setup.... A lot of it is tunning and practice..... (and weight reduction) I ditched about 150lb of crap and that always helps too... my first run ever bone stock was 16.3, but I way babying it...

it is known that every 100lbs of weight is equal to 1/10th of a second in quarter times.

If both cars are set up identical, HP, gearing etc, a 3200 pound car will be quicker than a 3500 pound car.

Even fast cars use the 100 pounds for a tenth of a second formula. Removing 1000 pounds is like adding about 100hp.
