estimated 1/4 mile time?
I know this is a pretty stupid question but i'm gonna ask it anyways. I have some mods, like intake runner, TB Coolany Bypass, Removed MAF screen, Removed Catylic Converter, Cut-outs, K&N Air Filter, knocked up my timing, ported out my TB and removed the frisbee. Can anyone take a wild guess as to what my 1/4 mile time would be? or what my horsepower would be? BTW It's an automatic tranny.
thanx guys

I don't think it's a stupid question. I have pretty much what you have on my 88. You don't say what your diff ratio is, mine is 3.07. Best ever time 13.39 at 102.

Well the frisbee is 10hp or so, and all that other stuff may add to 15-20.
I would say mid 13s at best.

I haven't changed my diff ratio....but i'm not sure what it is stock , i've heard it may be 2:59...does that make sense?
Going up to 3.07s (if you do have 2.59s) wouldnt be as good a mod as a new TC.

You might try the Desktop Dyno 2000 software. It's fun to see how much money you'll have to spend on which part next. Hard to say though with only one intake runner, as your post was written.
