well i didnt do very good. i went with a really bad set of tires and the car is missing pretty bad, and idiling REALLY bad. anyway. my first run was
r/t.. .752
60'.. 2.379
330.. 6.750
1/8.. 10.417
mph.. 65.86
1000.. 13.721
1/4.. 16.575
MPH.. 78.59
THAT WAS LEAVING IT IN OD

i ran 4 more times that day(running a 16.181,16.096,16.051, and my last run....
r/t.. .751
60'.. 2.314
330.. 6.657
1/8.. 10.259
mph.. 68.48
1000.. 13.364
1/4.. 16.015
mph.. 84.45
after the first run i started shifting manually and had a better run each time i raced. i think i could have hit some low 15.9's or some high 15.8's if i would have had some better r/t's and 60' times. i just couldnt get used to the light. and i couldnt find a way to launch the car. i tried mashing it and it spun like crazy, and then i tried to hold the gas and brake and drop it at the line and it still spun. but i had a blast and i am going back real soon. anyway if the car was running good and i had some decent 60' times i think i could have hit some 15.6's. what do u think?

Wow, you have the exact same car as me. 86 TA 305 TPI auto with bad tires, a bad miss in the engine, and a rough idle!!! Anyways I'm getting all this fixed next weekend (One of my wires got burned off, ordered a new set) and I'm going to the track. I have about the same mods as you plus a few and minus the TC. I'll l;et you know what times I got. BTW If you get your car running good its capable of low-mid 15's stock.

you should be running slighty quicker than what you are...

A few things that are hurting you...

1)That rear...ughh 2.77's ICK
2)Your 60' time...knock a tenth off or 2 you be pulling .2-.4 off your overall ET
