Just bolt some slicks on it and find out. All you are gonna get on here are guesses. o know for sure you need to get the car to hook.

Just for entertainment purposes, here's my GUESS.

7.35 @ 97-98


Put that pig on a diet and bolt on some slicks and it could go high 6's.

You're giving up a good 3-5 tenths on the 60 foot time, and the mph in the 1/8 is good for 7.teens to possible high 6s with (as mentioned) weight reduction and a killer 1.5 or better 60 foot time.

I got lots of 1.89's on my 10 bolt on good tires being 6 spd. Now i have a midwest fab 9, and i have got pretty consistent low 1.7's. I could still leave harder, but am worried about the stock t56 now.

I would imagine 96 mph in the 1/8 would be good for low 11's possibly a high 10 in the 1/4. Definatly need to get the 60 ft down.

Good luck. Chris
