Default guess or estimate my new ET

I have a heads/cam/nitrous'd Z28. my previous best was a 11.0@127 with a poor 1.82 60', spraying the 150 shot and spinning just out about 50 feet. This setup consisted of a stock 3.42 Auburn rear, worn 26" tires, and a loose stock rear swaybar, stock springs and CE rear shocks.
my new setup will consist of: 3.70 9" rear, Solid Swaybar, alot better MT radial 28" tires, adjusted CE shocks, and will be adding QA1 F-front shocks and 275lb springs. my rear was off center 1/3 of an inch to the left so i got an adj PHB. I may spray out the hole. I did also add a 5-point chromoly rollbar to the car, while removing an odd 20-30lbs. The rear will be lighter too with a chromoly torque arm.
I only got 2 runs in with the niutrous but had i hooked up i should have seen a mid ten with a 1.5 or 1.6 60'. Do you think the setup now is capable of 10.3-10.4's with traction? thanks for reading guys

With that mph, I say around 10.50s if you can 60' in the low 1.5 range. What was your 1/8 et/mph and how does it run on motor?

my previous best on motor was 11.66@116-117 with a 1.62 60'.

Your 1/8 and 1/4 mph is on point, but your 60' is what killed you. Get that down and you will see 10s.

I agree that unless you are in the mid 1.4 60 foot range, you will likely be in the 10.60-10.70 range with that mph.

With your new set up, it will definitely put you there-mid 10's ---and if traction is there ofcourse.
The n2o time in my sig was a 1.53 short time and thats with the spray coming on @4000 rpm. See video. First run ever on spray!

10.55 if your race weight is around 3550 according to your mph
