What will it run???
Ok..seasons about over so i won't be able to run my car this year, so any good guess's on what it would do.
1987 GTA
4bolt 350 block
L98 pistons and cam
Vortex heads with 1.6 rockers
Scoogin dickey intake base with Edelbrock runners
Runners, base and upper plenum all ported together
Home made cold air system
58mm edelbrock throttle body.
Edelbrock hedders
No converter, with 3" flowmaster exhaust.
All EGR deleted.
Custom burned chip
700R4 with shift kit and 4.3 converter, 2200 stall est.
3.73 gears.
I'm guessing high to mid 13's, i had an S10 that ran mid 13's and they feel very comparable. I think the bird pulls alittle harder mid range.

I've run a best of 13.783 basically the same setup minus runners,plenum and throttle body you have.
I see mid to low 13s easy if car works as well as mine. I'd love to know what you actually do run because I plan on doing runners, plenum and TB along with 1.6 rrs for next season.
Why can't you make it out to a track?
You have the exact setup I will except for the gears!!!

Theres only 3 more weekends of braket racing left and i hate braket racing, you stay there all day for maybe 4 runs, then get knocked out and get sent home. They might have a friday night street race coming up in october, but its not final yet.
I still have some work to do to the car..mainly to calibrate the govenor, because it shifts way to high, and i had to swap rearends so the one i have is an open, so i need a limited slip carrier for a 2 series gear ratio. I would be happy with a low to mid 13. The motor is fairly new to so i might strap on a 100hp shot in the future.
What do you have your fuel pressure at?? I can't get my regulator over 42psi. I have been told to turn it up to 47 or 48psi.
