I know this question has been asked by a lot of people but this is the first time I get the guts to ask it, so help me out. What will I run in the 1/4 mile with what's in my sig. + l/t headers, prochamber, 4.10s, 3000 stall, chip, upper and lower control arms, and subframe connectors. I have all of what I just listed except the stall, chip and subs. I just want a rough idea and if I'll be able to beat the aode's I called out on the other thread

If you have nothing helpful to say, don't say it and avoid the retaliation.

THANX

You should be in the 13s easy I would think. Hard to say as each car's tune and engine quality is different.

Have you run your car before? If so what did it run and what was done to it then?

Never taken it, I was just asking so that I'm not expecting too much. I would be happy with with a 13.8. Anything lower would be awesome.

Originally I was thinking the 4.10s would get you closer than I am but they could hurt you. I'm pretty close to the end of my gears at the 1/4.

So depending on how well you are flowing... he could be more accurate.

Not many N/A stock head AODE's on here in the 13s... that's for sure.

I know what you mean, and that's why it would be bad ass if I cracked the 13s. It really would be a disappointment if I wouln't.

A 14 flat is a long ways from a 15.9.... just remember that. Personally I like to set my expectations low and then be surprised and happy when I exceed them.

If you run l/t's and an off road H I could see high 13's. Low 14's should be a given.

Because you have a stock AODE and a convertible. Like Paul (gcomfx) said, there are VERY few stock headed AODE cars around in the 13's. I ran a 13.83 at 98.5mph with an edelbrock performer intake, t-body, pulleys, bumped timing, 3.73's, headers, offroad X pipe, mufflers, and nitto drag radials... this is with a 5 speed. I really don't see you going 13's in a similarly equipped vert with a stock AODE, even with a different converter. I could be wrong, but I stick by my guess. JFYI- I ran a 15.2 at 90mph BONE STOCK, so you have a good 7 tenths to make up just to be pn par of where I started if you ran a 15.9 stock. A converter will help that a lot, but I don't know if that's enough.

I never said I ran 15.9 stock, that was Paul. My car has never seen the track. Maybe this Friday like I told Paul, but we'll see.

Well, a good friend of mine ran his stock AODE 95 convertible at the track and the best he could do was a 16.2 at ~87mph at a low elevation track, I thought you were doing well with the 15.9 stock... I missed that it wasn't your time though. I say before you even THINK about running 13's, you get to the track and see where you're at now. Do yourself a favor, go to the track WITHOUT expectations, you'll be happier in the end. The track can be a VERY humbling experience. I can't tell you how many people 'think" they have a "X" second car until they make their first pass, let's just say a LOT of people come home disappointed when they go expecting to run something better than their car is capable of. Best of luck to you though!
