Postby Fredde » Tue Dec 11, 2007 11:47 am

Hi I will give you some specs on how my car will be to summer 2008
I wonder how fast i would be able to take it down the 1/4mile

Engine:

350" LT1 -95.
stroked to 383". (eagle kit with 4340 (hardened?) steel crank and hardened rods + dish hardened pistons.
LT4 heads with the LT4 hotcam and intake.
BBK 58 or 52mm throttle body.

Driveline:

4L60E trans built to be strong as hell ;P
12 bolt or 8 3/4 rear end with 3.73gears

Interior:

No rear seats the car now has a cage.
+ no stereo or what so ever.

Tires:

ET STREET 26/10.5/16

If someone could be friendly and calculate a little I would greatly appreciate it...

Sorry for bad english but I´m from Sweden :D

How Fast ?

There are members on this site that could probably estimate your 1/4 mile ET from either experience or computer simulation. Either way, they are going to need more information regarding what you are planning.

Which H-body (year & model) do you own? You have a roll bar.... do you have sub frame connectors also? Has any weight been removed?

The engine is described well enough, but you haven't given the stall rpm of the torque converter. Also, what about the exhaust system.... factory manifolds, shorty headers or full length tubes? Collectors, mufflers and turndowns or full exhaust and tailpipes?

Front Suspension: Are front shocks stock or adjustable 70/30, 80/20, 90/10? Rear Suspension: Factory 4-link, factory torque arm, or aftermarket suspension? Are the rear shocks stock or adjustable 50/50? Any traction devices?

It all works together, so the more you tell us about the car....

Factory torque arm in the rear but with new shocks and bushings original style.

Up front is original too but with boxed crossmember and rewelded all the original spotwelds, new bushings and new dampers.
