I got me a set of 1.75" BBK Long tube headers on the car finally So i drove out to the drag strip last night and made one pass on it before they told me i couldn't run anymore, i didn't have a helment. Any way the slip went down like this:

Reaction: .0183
60 Ft: 2.0053
330 Ft : 5.452
1/8 ET: 8.268
1/8 MPH: 88.81
1/4 ET: 12.7230
1/4 MPH: 111.17

Thats with my 275/50 BFG Radial T/A out back and all bone stock 20 year old suspension with the front sway bar removed.
What do you guys think?? What will she put down with a good set of slicks? Any suggestions also welcome. BTW, i Was shifting at 6300 rpms Thanks

I don't think you need slicks to improve that time. You should be able to get that size BFG drag radial down in the 1.7's with the right heating and tire pressure. And some more practice.

Probably a high 11 low 12 car in there.

I was on my BFGoodrich street full treaded regular radial T/A's
I didn't have any drag radials with me so that is why the ET's are low. I was spinning 1st, 2nd , and 3rd gear. I really had to feather the clutch out of the hole to keep the tires from going up in smoke.

My motor is a 90' 351W block bored .030 over
Keith Black flat top pistons
stock crank and rods and oil pump
AFR 61 cc 185 CNC ported heads
Comp cams extreme energy cam 284/296 .541/.544 lift
Hardened pushrods, guide plates, 1.6 roller rockers
Out the box performer RPM intake
Holley 750 DP 71/80 jets
BBK 1 3/4 full length headers, mac prochamber, mac mufflers, ss tailpipes all 2.5"
All stock suspension, T-5 tranny stock shifter, King cobra clutch
Stock 8.8 rear with 3.73 gears and built trac-lock
Full interior 3300 lbs with me in it and a half tank of gas

Thats the setup

that is way impressive on t/a's. get some slicks or drag radials and you will knock huge amouts of time off your 60 foot and you will be able to put the power down in the first 3 gears.
