What do you think this will run in 1/4 Mile? Its a 1983 z28 pushing 350hp at the rear wheels and almost 500ft-lbs of torque at the rear wheels? its got 3.42gears and a th350 tranny(just rebuilt) with shift kit.
Also how would it stand up to a civic hatch with a prelude engine and lite mods? Dont know what engine is, all i know is it came out of a prelude and suppost to be fast.
Thanks

You should trap ~110.
if you're putting down 350 rwhp you have nothing to fear from any N/A honda engine.

Do to the fact that you are guestimating your power output and don't give enough info to base your guestimation off of. I will guess that you have a mid 13 second ride.I would say that if the Civic is an N/A car then you would probably win.If it has a power adder it might get you.

It only takes 330hp rwhp to run low 12s in a fbody but thats if you have that much. What heads are you running and cam profile? Also if the civic doesn't have a turbo why even bother ask? Does it have a 250 shot or something?

A turboed 355 is only making 350 rwhp? My friends stock bottem end, stock cam, stock heads (milled, bigger valves, and a great valve job), Explorer intake and bolt on 5.0 made 310 rwhp...
Id find the missing power in the car, and then go out there and not have to worry about many cars!

yeah a turbo'd 355 only making 350 RWHP??? My buddies 5.0 Fox with full bolt ons STOCK heads and a HPS (hellion Power Systems) turbo setup on a VERY streetable and mild tune (6-7psi) put down 452RWHP.......so somethings missing in your combo man?
its not done yet, still needs some stuff along with tuneing to get it running right. When it done it should be around 500HP, i was just wondering how i would do now/as is.

All he needs is some traction.
