I'm trying to work out what I might make in the 1/4 mile since I don't have time to make it out to the track to see what it will really be so I thought I'd ask you guys.

My setup consists of:
- 305 LG4 converted to TPI
- LT1 cam
- 700r4 tranny
- 3.27 gears
- Subframe connectors
- 22lb injectors/350 ECM (that's what came with TPI setup...plugged scanner into ECM and I'm not running rich so I'm cool )

Mods to engine besides cam:
- TPS set to .65
- cut air bottoms off air cleaner

I've estimated the car weighs about 3400-3500lbs just from ruff guestimations. So yeah what do you think it will do in the 1/4 mile and any ideas on what I can do that is free/cheap that would help me out a bit.

Thanks,
Mark

 

i'd say mid to low 15s

 

Mine was set at .65 and I found that it was actually .3 slower in the quarter as opposed to the correct setting of .54.

 

so what could I do to make it get into the low 14's?.....besides droping in another engine :-)

 

My LG4 5 speed with a Edelbrock carb and intake swap, stock manifolds, stock exhaust, ran a 14.94 @ 91.67mph.


I did a TPI swap with cam, TPI heads, SLP Dual CAI, MSD 6A, Blaster 3 coil, Dynomax shorty headers, custom y-pipe, 3" catback, 52mm tb, 19lbs injectors, and I ran a 14.1@99mph with the car running in limp home mode.

Here is a 15.24 run with the LG4, http://www.transamws6.com/video/Manny_vs_Charles.mpg

This is a 15.04 run,

Here is the car after the TPI/Cam swap,

I was kinda hoping there was something I could do that wasn't going to cost that much......while I'd love to do those things I rather don't have the cash to do them right now.... ohwell....

Hey Zepher....Do those headers allow for easy or semi-easy access to the spark plugs?

 

Plug access was pretty easy since there aren't any AIR tubes on them.

I have Hedman Longtubes on my LT1 in my 86 and plug access is super easy. I can do plugs in less than 5 minutes.

 

Thanks, now I've got an idea on which headers to get . maybe exhaust next summer.........or paint...........or rims............or new engine.........or...........

 

as your car sits now...id say you have a low 14 in it

 

ifyou car is properly runing nd on a good day i woukld say a high 14. but

 

My vote is very low 15's.

 

mid 14s

 

I'm curious.......do you think it would run better with a 350 or 305 ECM?
