I wanted to know how much power u guys think i have, and what i would do in the quarter.

85 Z28
350 carbed...holley 600cfmVS...holley street dominator intake...performer cam, like a 440 or something lift...3inch catback...shorty headers...K&N open element...no A/C...no radio...700r4 with aftermarket cooler and deep pan...electric fuel pump...carquest shocks...16inch stock wheels...Mallory HEI distributor...posi trac, dont know what gears...most of this stuff is brand new, tell me what u think...

 

Pending you have it dialed in and you car is the same weight as other thirdgens, I'd say in the 13's somewhere. To hard to geuss ET's. Everyone will have an opinion but way to many factors to accuratly geuss. We could geuss and then you run it and see how far we are off.

 

I recently build an engine similar to that and it put down 310 horse and 310 torque to the wheels which is around the 13's mentioned above.

 

who knows? really really hard to say... very vague facts listed.. know the cam specs? what kind of heads are you running? whats the comp ratio? Timing, base and total advance..after you figure that out you can get a somewhat close assumtion on the power output of the engine assuming everything is in proper tune.. then factor in the weight of the car, the gear ratio (tranny and rear) what size tires your running, and assuming good traction, weather conditions, altitude, then you can take an educated guess... the easier way is to take it to the track.

 

with that cam and probably stock heads, I'm saying high 14s. No way 13s. But would love to be proved wrong, so go run it here in a month or so.

 

well a 350 in an 85 isnt exactly a stock engine... depends what it is.. more then likely its a smogger 350, but who knows maybe its really worked and have some nice afr's on it or somethin.. too much info was left out to actually have a clue.. no flow numbers, not even a static compression ratio... hell it could run anything from a 17 to a 12 who knows? gears would make a tad difference too, say 270ish compaired to 373's, then wheel hight would be a factor also with the cars ability to transfer the power to the ground... when people ask me what my car runs and i never ran it before i always go with the safe guesstimate. something under a 19 at over 50 mph. thats the time i give for my stock ls1 ta.... i never ran it.. its bone stock, i've heard everything from high 12.98(CHP in a camaro in nj in winter) to 13.9 but who the hell really knows? does any car ACTUALLY come from the factory exactly the same as the next? hell no... ok im ranting.. time to stop. i must take my medicine.:lala:
