New to TPI need some tips
as my sign says i started on my IROC its a 305 t top 700 R4 car
so far i put Accel Super Stock Wires on the car
now my two questions are
1.) what times will this turn in stock form
2.) is does the same plan of attack work on TPI as it did on my LO3 with the full exhuast,chips,etc?

305 auto w/ the peanut cam butt stock I would guess mid to low 15's depending on the mileage & how well kept it's been "oil changes, spark plugs, etc."
And as for the whole treat it like an LO3 I wouldn't know but the basic mods like exaust, headers etc. are always a must.

cool thnx guys
as far as the rear goes im not sure what gear it has but it does leave two black marks unlike my RS that leaves one dorky one
its a mass air car with the old style bolt heads on it
if it runs 15.5s that would be cool cause it wouldnt take much i wouldnt think to put it on down into the 14s maybe even 13s
the car has 113,000 on it all original car, the guy i got it from took fairly good care of it as far as maintanance goes but the rest of the car is so/so
thnx again guys and ill keep posting the build up
