Default 1/4 Mile ET?

In YOUR opinion what will a LS1 firebird run with the following (A4)

Mickeys
3600 stall
3.42s


FTRA
Lid
85MM MAF
85MM BBK TB and Intake manifold
MSD wire NGK6 plugs
TSP headers and Xpipe

And a 150 Shot

Think 10's is possible?

I am hoping for a little over 350hp/350torq off the bottle

475/525torq on bottle(give or take)

its possible....but it may take a little suspension and weight reduction to get you there. i would say you'd probably be right around 11.1-11.4 with that set up.

500rwhp or so hp should get you around low 11s possibly into the 10s. A lot will depend on your 60fts and your altitude and density air the day you run. You might get only 330rwhp or so from your listed mods. Would add an underdrive pulley and cutout for cheap for maybe another 10 to 20hp. Cam of course would be great next mod and heads, cam ,headers and bolt ons really start to work nicely together.
Actually think with your 3600 stall you will hit your 10s with 150 shot. Stalls work excellent in these ls1 cars. Can hardly wait for mine.

seeing that the car ran a 12.8 bone stock with the exception of a catback the 12.4 seems REALLY high 4 tenths of a second doesn't seem hard at all to get.

I thought you couldn't get out of the 12.9x's 3 weeks ago at Atco. You did all of those mods and your car got slower than when it was practically stock? Your car had codes for bad o2's right? I guess they were really hurting you...With a 150 shot I think you might pull it off. I know of an A4 Ws6 with a head/cam/stall that makes 445rwhp that ran a best of 11.15. You'll be damn close, but i think you should probably go with a 175 shot if your looking for a 10 second pass.

DONT go past a 150 shot on the stock injectors and fuel pump....even with a 150 shot your pressing your luck. id make sure they can handle that big of a shot. start small. 75shot and go from there. make sure you know where your A/F is or you'll be towing your **** home without a doubt.

what is so "OMG" about this thread? You might hit 10's but who knows you might only run low 11's.
