what should performance be with new mods?
Im selling my street rod to buy my wife a new car but I still have the need for speed. [even at 60 yrs old!] I have a bone stock 97 with 2.73 rear now but I am going to go to 3.43s or 3.70s. Also I will be running a 100 shot and a black wing and slicks. The car feels like a mid 13 car now. What do any of you with the same or close mods run in the 1\4 and 0-60? I'm really going to miss my old rod so I need at least some kind of a decent time to help me into old age!
Thanks
Thanks

Should be much faster than that in the quarter! Stock z51 with 3.15 will do 13.2 in the quarter (CAI alone = 13 with good traction). With that low of gearing and slicks/intake your 0-60 should be 4.2 to 4.5? I would say mid 12's - but im just guessing. I’m sure some members can tell you first hand what to expect. The 100 shot with low gears may even put in low 12's?? I think with practice and DR you will be surprised.

With the gears, 100 shot, tires and a tune etc. you should be well into the 12s. That should be a fun car. Of course if you could add a blower you would have something you'd never get tired of. Ask me how I know...

Thanks for the info. If I can get this old 97 to run mid 12"s I will be happy! Thats enough to shut down a few Mustangs anyway! My old coupe would run low 11s on a 100 shot and I am really going to miss the rush.
