0-60MPH 5.745
60' slippery 2.264
330' 6.086
1/8 mile 9.238 @79.49
1000' 11.954
1/4 mile 14.24 @ 98.73

Excuses

-My cylinder heads suck! I shifted at 5300 RPM any more and the valves started to float. The car fell pretty flat at 4500RPM.

-The T-tops were out, I am going to try it with the roof in and the windows up, not sure if this will make any/ much differance???

-Major exhaust leak, changing the heads very soon, so I left it.

I have the Edelbrock Performer heads on order I hope it will make it into the 13's and maybe the 12's when I spray it with the Edelbrock 100HP Nitrous Kit. I have not run a 1/4 mile time on the G-tech with the nitrous, as of yet.

Excuses continued

-The car spun its tires trough first and second gear, Oh ya it has a C4 automatic (3 speed) with 2500RPM stall. I think if I took it to the track and had some traction it may go a little quicker. I have un-mounted BFG Drag Radials I would like to try also. I am considering getting some 14" slicks for the track also.

Pretty quick for stock untouched heads! Makes me want to get a G-Force Pro and see what the old KT-500 is putting out...

Doesn't that G-tech pro give you HP and torque numbers as well?

Ya, you can measure horsepower & torque too, but you need the weight. I am going to get my car weighed after I get my heads on. I did some 1/4 mile internet simulators and I am guessing 180hp and 3000lbs, which will pull 14.2's My car is pretty gutted, I figure it is making modest power with light weight?? I will post the weight when I get it done.
