Default would it run 10s

Last time at the track i ran a 11.62 @121 mph. 1.85 60'

This was done on a bolt 98 formula 3.42 gear. minus a/c and front sway bar, with 125 shot. ive gotten a 1.75 60' but my bottle ran out. all done on a stock trans and crappy tune.
My plans for the winter are TH400, converter, tuning, and 150 jets.

What could i expect to run???

That Th400 is going to take some power away, even if you up the shot, it may not go much faster. Try a Th350

Well i have 2 th400 and 1 th350.

i want to use the 400 because i plan to go with a front mount down the road, like next winter.

Also my bro has a 400 with driveshaft he may trade me for my 4l60, so that would save me money.

I figured after losing some weight it should equal out power lose wise.
