    actually thats like mid 12's and low 11's, probably a high 10 3000 w/ driver is awfully light though , you'd need to cut over 300 lbs

    should my car be this slow?

    dude you totally contradicted yourself in the first 2 sentences. you need 4.10's and a stall converter, you can't time yourself for 0-60 really and your right that a aod 'vert is super slow...my '90 'vert aod went 15.10 1/4 mile w/ 3.73's

    some advice on where to go from here....

    4.10's will get you the numbers you want....if you do mostly 1/8th mile and not worried about mpg....go w/ 4.30's... you can always tame down the rearend w/ 28" tires when you needed to. or spray it....ez and cheap and fast 100 shot dry

    What is the biggest shot you can run through the factory shraeder valve?

    no, there will be a limit....not sure how much. if you try and squirt too much your gonna rob the injectors. but it's gotta be in the 150 hp range if your mostly stock internals i wouldn't squirt more than 125...but thats just me
