Default 1/4 Mile Time Estimates

Ok people, here is the list of mods that are in the process of being installed.

ARE StageII Heads- (2.055/1.60)
ARE Cam 226/234 114 111 0.554 0.575
Grott headers & y-pipe (No cats)
160 Degree stat
LS6 intake
Cutout
Ported MAF ends
Whisper Air Box
BMR STB
BMR LCA
ASP crank & alternator Pullys

Additions that come later...Cartek Clutch & Moser 12 bolt.


Being that I am a vert I weigh a few extra lbs. Can anyone give me safe guess on the what to expect in HP, TQ, and the 1/4 mile times.

And as always...thanks <img src="graemlins/burnout.gif" border="0" alt="[Burnout]" />

You can't just guess what your 1/4-mile time will be. There are SO many factors to consider. What will your raceweight be? What kind of 60' times are you expecting? What kind of tires will you be running? We also don't know what the weather will be like. Once the 12-bolt and clutch are installed, you'll have solid mid-11's in the bag with a full raceweight.
As for HP and TQ, I'm gonna say that it'll come in somewhere around 425 RWHP and 400 RWTQ.

What did you run before the changes? What programming if any are you going with? Are you going to run cats on the car? Are emissions a requirement?
I would run 4.56 gears and the cartek clutch <img src="gr_grin.gif" border="0">
With the six speed you will have plenty of highway rpm <img src="gr_grin.gif" border="0">
What about tires? full slicks?
I think the car has 120mph in it but everything else is dependant on track, traction, gear selection, vehicle weight and weather.

Default Re: 1/4 Mile Time Estimates

Best times before any mods was
13.35 in 1/4 Mile.

I will most likely run Drag radials on road, no emissions, Ed Wright programming with Norris setting it up on the dyno.

Now on the gears I was leaning towards 3.73 gears, I still want to maintain drive-ability and be able to put on slicks and drag lites and take it to the track.

As far as expected 60 foot times, 1.65-1.75 from what I gather from other people with similar cars.
