What do you guys think this car should run?
Our track opened this weekend and I got to take my Firebird out for the first time. It still needs tuning, but I'd like to hear some guesses as to what it "should" run before I tell you what it ran. This is a back up car and I know this isn't an "ideal" set up.......
84 Firebird, all steel including hood(Harwood scoop), one plastic racing bucket, no back seat, 10 pt mild steel cage, stock dash(gutted), frame ties, stock suspension with Spohn adjustable torque arm, 4.11 gears with 275 Nitto radials(switching to QTP's when they're done). Right now I don't know the weight.
355 SBC, AFR 190's, Team G intake, 750 vacuum(73/83 jet), 1" 4 hole spacer, 300*/.540" hyd. flat tappet, 11.0:1(small dome), 36* total at 2,500, Bosch R6 plugs gapped at .045", MSD 6A ignition, 1 5/8" headers, belt driven water pump, 93 octane gas
PG trans with 1.82 first, no brake, 3,000 stall convertor
3" exhaust with 2 chamber Flowmasters. I need mufflers to run in one of the classes.
So lets hear it, what SHOULD it run?!

well? and give the 60'
My car is not as fast as I think it is.
Re: What do you guys think this car should run?
I'm gonna guess somewhere around 13.00 give or take a few tenths. Good luck and let us know.

Nice trout, lol.
OK, it ran 11.95 @ 117 with a 1.88 60'. I had 13 psi in the tires and it still spun. But since it was opening day I'm sure the 60' will improve. If not the QTP's will help, lol.

I'm a pretty good guesser I'm still shocked after hearing it run
