Thanks for the comments guys! I really appreciate it. It was pretty tough going from my f-body to a Fox, but I think it will pay off in the end. I was looking for a race car, and I got it, but without all of the speed.
In the end, it should be pretty quick, but it's a bit frustrating. When I put a tire on it, it should fly out of the hole.

The tires on it now are 275/40R17, so probably 25.6-26" depending on the brand, wear, etc.
I would have loved to do a low roll with him in first or a dig to really show what his car could do, but without traction there was no point. I'm sure there will be more runs to come

Thanks, we do our best to put together decent races. I enjoy lining up different cars, especially when we don't know what the results are going to be. I also like playing into a car's strengths. If a car is running 4.30 gears then I don't ask for a 60 mph roll, and if it's fwd on street tires then I don't demand a dig.

In terms of the codes, I'll have to check that out too. I feel like the car isn't running right, so maybe that's another possible reason. It's only 'quick' because it's light. Ran a brand new M3 the other night. 80-105 I pulled about 2-2.5 cars, so it's okay, but the whp numbers aren't high by any means.

We'll see what it is. I'll have the car back in the shop sometimes over the next couple of weeks to get a couple more things sorted out. It might have something closer to a 4.30 ratio. I was messing around with a gear speed calculator last night, and it looks like 4.30 is about right. I think 3.55 would be the perfect ratio. Based on my estimates, it would have the car top out around 130-135 on a 26" tire.

It's not a bad idea, in my case the car's ACT had been disconnected and plugged, I ran codes and got a 54(act circuit open) and 98 (ecu hard hault, Ecu in limp mode), located the connector, put a sensor in and both codes cleared. I got the code reader on amazon for $25, quite useful.

Somebody knew what they were doing with that choice of heads, and the intake. They compliment each other nicely. That car should make every bit of what the car in your sig did. I don't know about it actually weighing 2800 unless it's been lightened, though. It's probably going to weigh closer to 3000.
I think 4.10s are probably in it. You're right about 4.30s if your convertor's not slipping at all, or if you're actually spinning it to the stock limiter at 6250. Keep in mind that the stock tachometer is not to be trusted.
