If you can hook I'd give you 8.0's maybe high 7's. But you need to hook. Do you have good DR's?

My buddy with a hotcam kit and light head porting ran 8.3's on street tires so with your setup I'd think you'd prolly have him by about .5 with DR's.

His is a bit more involved than a lower end build. It's got a fair cam and a good amount of porting if it's a Lloyd Elliot stage 2 kit.

If youre running 1.7 rockers the ".565" numbers in your sig are not correct... fyi

My guess with good tires would be 7.70s to 7.90s at 87 to 90 mph but thats with a decent 60ft. Could also run better or worse just depends on how hard you push it.

With my mods in my sig I ran consistant 8.1's on 255/16 bfg drag radials and still wasnt hooking up that was with stock untouched heads. I just recieved my set of LE2 heads, Im not sure how much they will improve my time.

You should be high sevens Id imagine depending on how good of driver you are, and tires.

My cc503 cam only car has gone 7.62. With your car being a 6 speed its going to be tougher to launch but I don't see why you shouldn't run 7.60's on some drag radials.

If you 565 numbers are correct for a 1.6 rocker...


565/1.6 = ~353

353 * 1.7 = ~600

depends what kind of springs you have and other factors, just remember the more lift can = more revs. if this is a stock bottom end car like I'm assuming you'd prolly want to only rev to around 6200~ rpm for longevity reasons

I would hope u do better than 8.4 with your setup. I can do 8.4 all day with my bolt-on car and I'm on the slower side of full bolt-on car around this site. I know I've got a fairly light car but a LE2 H/C should more than make up for that. I would expect high 7s till you get her all figured out even with an avg 2.0 60ft time.

You should go mid-high 7's at the worst. My bolton car goes 8.3's soon to be 8.0's or so with a converter. Since your a H/C car, there is no reason that you cant hit 7's unless something isnt running right with your setup.
