Default Track time question

Just a question on what times you think I will see when i go to the track this sunday. Bone stock I ran the car and ran a 14.43 in the 1/4 and a 9.27 in the 1/8. I am going to an 8th mile track. Here is a list of what is done to the car now. 4.10 gears, mid length headers, ory pipe, single chamber 3" flowmaster, cai, 52mm stock ported tb, air foil, msd wires. So what times can i expect to see in the 1/4 and 1/8? Thanks.

And what other bolt ons do yall suggest?

Not enough info. What were your 60' times and mph on your previous runs? What gears were in it before the swap? Was it hooking up of spinning? Is the 1/8 mile track located at a similar elevation? Do expect similar weather conditions?

The throttle body and air foil probably won't help at all. Increases from the mid lengths and flowmaster will be marginal at best. No increase from plug wires unless your old ones were burnt up. IMO, the gears and cai are the best things you have done. Based on limited info, I'll wager a guess of .15 increase in the 1/8 and around .2 to .3 in the quarter. If you were new to the track there might be an additional gain from driving experience.

Good luck, and post up to let us know how you did.
