I'd say mid 20's... joking, I have no idea.. maybe low 15's???? take it to the quarter mile... or find someone with one of those cheesy G-Tech's to give ya an estimate.. the only thing is it told my friend he ran 8.something in his TA and he actually ran 12s

He probably missed postition the G-Tech, or perhaps some how that was a 0-60 time, which wouldn't match running 12's but G-Techs are very accurate.

i'd say mid 16's the TH400 sucks ALOT of power and a 305 HO the carb one correct? those are not the best engines out there.

U sure it has a TH400?. You would had to have performed quite a few mods to get a th400 to fit. Like the crossmember relocated, the drive shaft yoke changed to a larger size and done something with the torque arm.

A stock '84 Z28 did 15.2 in the quarter at about 89mph according to the Chevrolet brochure. With a TH400 and the 3.08 gears I would say high 15's, low 16's.
To tempest68,
The 305HO IS one of the best 305's that were put in the camaros, Esp. comparing the carbureted 305's.

i'd say around 15.8 to 16.4. using that turbo 400 is a waste of metal and power.

Somewhere between 0 and 25 seconds. The only way to know is to run it.
