Default Predictions

Hey guys....last time i ran my car in the 1/8th it was a full bolt on car with a stock-stalled 4L60E. it has received a few mods since then...

1. 6 speed swap
2. 224/228 .510/.510 114lsa cam

it is still on the stock tune but runs great and looked good when we logged it. last time i ran it before those mods it went 8.7 on drag radials. what do you guys think it will run with about a 2500 rpm launch and those mods?

Dude, anyone is going to input on anything. Telling someone not to input isn't really going to work..
This input here is helping your people skills.

Well hell, Ill take a guess. If you were going 8.7's before and you swaped a tranny and put a cam in, depending on driving skill, with the normal bench racing knowledge, You could drop down to a low 8. 8.1 , 8.2?? But hey, the only true way is to run and find out. Might surprise yourself and go faster then that, or find out you need to learn to drive and go the same 8.7 with 8-10 higher trap speed.

i have been trolling scfyb and other boards for a couple years now. friendly sarcasm is no problem i just dont like for guys to act like i dont know what im talking about. i will admit though, this thread was pointless from the get-go...

but yes you are right, i am young, but that does not mean i am dumb or a ricer - i am far from that.

yea but my car is a daily driver (im young, its my only car) so i am doing it mostly so the car will be more fun to drive. it will have to be faster at the track though considering its never left the line from anything higher than idle rpms. i guess we will see.
