Default what will it run in the 1/4 mile???

i was wondering what my 95 z28 lt1 a4 would run having slp cold air intake, msd coil, mac cat back exhaust, ported throttle body, air foil, and aluminum drive shaft, with Goodyear street tires and everything else stock 72k miles

i was hoping to get below 14.0
if you dont think i can get it below 14 what other mods (relatively cheap) could i do to get it into the 13s
i have not run the car yet so i'm trying to get an idea of what it will run

thanks

low 14. Get some drag radials along with a stall and gears and you might be in the 13s

Anywhere from 13.7-14.3 depending on your 60'.

^x2 what gears? and i'd say with DR's you should be able to pull a high 13.

with your mods plus long tubes thru a chokemaster with a tiny lil baby cam i pulled off a 13.3 in around 2000' DA.

And might be in the 13's? You're crazy dude LT1's arent that much slower than LS's.
With gears a stall and DR's he should be able to pull a mid 13.

the 60ft was 2.019 at 81.19 mph and that was easing into it.
i could not have stomped on it out the gate, i would of spun
i never would have thought it would have run that time pretty much stock
the first pass was 13.73 at 101.13
the second was 13.622 at 101.58
the third was 13.633 at 101.41
all 60's were 2.0 at 81 mph

That's pretty good for a stock tired, stock 2.73 geared, and stock stall car.

That right there is probably the reason you ran a 13.6 which is pretty good for a basically stock LT1 your first time out. Get some tires and a stall and pull a low low 13 now
