Pick yourself up a stocker man. They can be had for cheap in the FS section.

Hey,.whats this I hear about the SLP 85mm MAF? Its a waste of money,..I know,...I have it! But it won't hurt your times,...it just won't improve em.

Here's what I think. You said its your first run in that car. I don't know if its your first run ever period. I hope not to with that current set-up tho. I'm basing my opinion more off of that than anything else.

Your run'n 3.73 gears, some sticky *** tires and your lowered. I don't honestly think it'll break but our 10bolts have been known to be weak as ****. Thats why I wouldn't dare run with DRs untill I get the axle tubes welded atleast. I've gone through 2 rear ends before in my 68 and learned it the hard way. 10 bolts are weak,..unless you re-inforce em.

I'd run it without the M/T slicks something less stickier for just to be safe.

you're telling me this guy with a stock stall converter and 373s (at BEST a 1.90 60') is going to break his rear when i have a 2" stack of timeslips with sub 1.70 60' on the stock rear and 373s...?

your rear will not break with a good hook, and assuming a full weight car, i would guess 8.3 at best. wheelhop will kill ANY rearend. however, for peace of mind, get an adjustable torque arm (adjust it to -2*) and differential cover, you will be fine.

my car launches hard enough to pop the driver's side front tire ~2" off the ground (or so i've been told, i've never personally seen it)..on the stock rear and a 3,500+ lb raceweight. fret not of the rearend, but pay CLOSE attention to your weak *** transmission.

don't listen to the 6 spd guys...

All this talk of breaking the rear is BS. If you are still on the stock converter I would say expect 8.5 to 8.6. I have almost the same set up but I have a 4K stall already and I'm running 8.0-8.1. BTW on slicks with the stock 10 bolt (3.73 gears and an LPW girdle and stud kit). Best 60 ft 1.69. I am honestly more worried about the trans than the rear.

well, i ran a 8.5 with a 2.1 60 foot...i need a convertor

Youll be fine, we installed a 4k stall in a completely bone stock 01 Z28 and ran it on M/Ts and it pulled 8.1s and 1.6x 60's and its fine.
