Default Need For Speed

If I were to put a zz4 crate engine and a 200-r4 transmission into my 3500 lb 1979 Vette, then add a 150 hp shot of nitrous, and assuming good weather and track conditions, what quarter mile times/speeds would I be looking at?

a 200 r4 or did you mean 700-r4? If your looking at using a 200-r4, it'd better be very beefed up.

Yes, it'd be beefed up. Bow Tie Overdrives recommended a 200-r4 in place of the 700 unit because I've got 4.11:1 gears out back, and the 1st gear on teh 700 would make my car hellacious for trying to get traction.
