If you get it to hook your 11s all day long.11.80 would be my guess with good traction. Gears are your down fall

9.0 at 80mph is good for a 13.7-13.8 pass . With the converter D/R's and cam ,I figure youll knock at least full second off . Im thinking low to mid 12's. 273 gears are not going to work in your favor .

sounds good my car has no suspension mods at all and i feel that my suspension is a little wore out and my stock tune was holding me back alot i bought the car from an old lady and it seems to be detuned or something because i reach top speed in third gear at 125 it hits the limiter has enyone had this problem????? so maybe with some suspension,and good tuning i mite be were im looking for????

yeah, with street tires, stock rear and suspension, and stock heads, somewhere in the 12s is reasonable.

I think my car was in need of a tune bad because it use to let out black smoke when i would punch it and the limiter at 125 was wierd also has any one had this problem on there stock tune ls1


i feel that the car had alot more in it than a 9.0 but we will see when i finish up the cam swap and converter i hope to get in the 7s 1/8th mile i have a bone to pick with my friends h/c foxbody running 7.7s in the 1/8th

My best guess is that those 2.73's are going to hold you back. 12's all day, but I just don't see you getting off the line quick enough with those gears to get that 11-second slip. A set of 3.42's and I think it would be a no-brainer assuming you hook up. Post up some results either way, though. Good luck, man.
