Do you own this car or are you consider buying it?
If you own it, did you build from scratch or buy someone's project?

HEI distributor? Are you still using the original EFI distributor with a GM add on ignition module?

About 275 rwhp and depending on tires,suspension,your driving ability,and the track could run in the mid to low 13's. You need more gear ratio like a 3.73 or 4.10 if you're just concerned about track times.
