Default estimated 1/4 mile time

i have a 1995 formula firebird m6. i currently have an extended low mount CAI, a gutted cat, and a electric cutout. i bought 4.10 gears which will be installed soon. and im looking into 100 shot. what do you guys think my quarter mile time would be with Drag radials and all those mods on the car?

It's going to depend solely on how you drive and how you hook up. A bolt-on LT1 with a 100 shot could be anywhere from a 13.0 to a 12.0.

Lots of variables though, so there is no magic ET number. Go out and see what it does.

i have almost the same car as you. just a camaro instead

95 z28, moroso CAI, no cat, tsp rumbler from the Y back, stock manifolds, with 4.10 gears.
however i'm ridin on street tires to preserve the rear end for a while
I've done 13-13.1 on street tires, and it was pretty much a 1/4 burnout especially when the nitrous hit above 3500. I have a WOT switch so i tried to ease the launch and then floor it.

but about the clutch, yes on the stock clutch you will fry it. it didn't hold on for too long. a couple passes on the track didn't finish it, but waxing a 2v cammed mustang at 100+ fried the stock clutch on the spray..the gears probably didn't help

do you have an aftermarket clutch or rear? with those sticky tires you're likely to grenade both

i've also got 4.10 gears, which isn't making a rear end stronger lol
