It should run atleast 14 flat, very possible to run high 13s stock, plenty have, unless theres some thing wrong. My car ran 9.1@78 dead stock at Seally on a 2.25. Some things up with that car, 14.7 isnt right at all. Auto just leave it in gear and let the trans do the rest, I wonder how bad the sixties were, must be prety terrible.

I'd say neither person in the conversation knows much. As far as the times go, if it really is shifting straight into second when he launches he'll get his high 13 low 14 with tires. It should just be stab and steer. It's not going to bog unless there is something wrong with the car.

Jon94Zs LT1 on here ran 13.5@101, just a MTI cold air and a borla, on some pep boys tires. I think 4mulajoe did some real basic free mods, but other wise car was left alone. Patman on here ran like 13.7 in his dead stock 95 Formula.
