power/time slip guesstaments

[TBapp3]

I was just looking for some other opinions on this set up as for what it should make for power/ run in a 1/4 mile ??? Not that I every would think I was being steered wrong but I just don't know 5.0 combo s as well....

Hopefully the link works for me I'm on my phone if not I'll get to a comp to fix it later

I know you can only guess but I know some people on here know the pushrod combos very well

Thanks in advance

My guess:

Car runs mid - upper 12's and has around 325-350 RWHP

I would say mid to low 12s, depending on traction/driver. Probably 290 - 310 rwhp, I would say, with the foxes you don't need a lot of power to go quick, compared to some of the other heavier cars. Too many people get caught up in the hp numbers and when they see "low" numbers they don't think it will go that fast in the 1/4.

What josh said- power numbers just show what the ebgine can do so many other variables effect 1/4 mile time- traction, driver, tire, weather, the track, etc

Since I have driven it I would guess mid/low 12's with a GOOD driver on sticky tires. It was just as fast if not faster than my other cousin's 89 GT that just had a stock motor with a Paxton and ran 12.48@111. He may end up taking it to the track soon enough, and if he doesn't sell the car it may be getting a Vortech.

I ran 13.6 with a 88 LX that had sticky tires and a few mods and stock gears, the owner ran a 14.1, driver is a huge variable.

Thanks for all the inputs and yes I do know that the 1/4 mile times do very worth lots of dif factors!
