89 Trans Am GTA T-5 5 speed .... Installing new 355 (L98) motor with 280-300 horses ( engine alone)... Added parts will be as follows : Underdrive pulley kit, air foil , custom burned chip , 24# accell injectors , headers, Turbo Thrust ? mufflers, strut tower brace (3 point) , and a set of sub frame connectors... I THINK the stock rear end is a 3.45, but both rear tires dont always spin together..... SO ARE THE ANY GURU's out there that can possibly give me an educated guess on 1/8 and 1/4 mile times and speed ???? PLEASE HELP AND THANK YOU ! Rocky

higher part of the 13's.......13.7 to 13.8ish if you launch it very well, but if your posi is not quite locking up both tires, that may hurt you a bit. possibly mid 13's tho depending on those gearsl if its 345....if its a nice bolt rear end, the tag on the diff cover will tell you.

i think 3.73's would match the T5 very well. you should buy a pinion and gear install kit and freshen up that rear end. then sell the 3.45 gears to me! LOL
