Only a 1/8 Mile strip close by, any ideas on what my 1/4 would be?

1988 IROC-Z
L98 350

Mods
------
Jasper 355 (300hp / 363lb) TPI, Headers, Chip, K&Ns, Flowmaster, 160 Thermo, MSD Wires, RapidFire Plugs, KYB Shocks/Struts

Best 1/8 Mile = 9.1

Any idea on what my 1/4 would be? Any chance I could see a 13.5 if I added a shift kit, stall converter, and 3.70 gears?

I'd bet with the right TC and those gears you'd drop a full second off your time if not a little more.

General rule is multiply your 1/8th time by 1.55 or so. Generally a 9.1 should net you a low low 14/14.0

With a TC and gears you'll easily run on into the 13s assuming you can still launch. What was the 60 foot time you got on the 9.1 run? You may already have some room for improvement there...
