Predictions
OK, it looks like June 22nd will finally be the date I get some runs in with the new setup.
My previous bet was 13.37@102mph. That was with the stock torque converter and 2.59 gears and street tires.
Best 60' was a 1.93.
I now have a Vigilante 2800, Dana 44 with 3.45's and BFG drag radials(275/45R17).
Still running the stock exhaust and intake, haven't done the 160 t-stat or TB bypass yet, but I can get my temps down and keep them there for my runs.
Anybody care to guess how much(if any) improvement I will see?

IF..the weather cooperates, you WILL see 12s :D ya gotta hope its not one of those 3000' corr. alt. days ..but even with it I think you will see 12s..
Just get to the line at NO HIGHER than 160..thats AFTER your burn out..

Re: Predictions (Mr Mojo)
I think the gears will really help 2.59 is terrible. I would guess 12.70 to 12.80's if the weather is good. :chevy

Re: Predictions (69 N.O.X. RATT)
Try my new approach...Don't predict ANYTHING..Just go in, do your thing, what it runs it runs. That way there aren't any expectations or let downs(if it doesn't run as well as you'd hoped).

I say you will be two tenths behind whatever Panuzzo does.
