250+ to the wheels is very impressive for a basically stock motor. Should be well over 300 at the crank. HP/ET/weight calculator says low 11's are possible. Soon time for a hair dryer.......
The "fleet"-
72 Vega HB Drag Car -383/'Glide/9"(9.35@146.19)(5.94@117.28 1/8th)
77 Vega Estate wagon- project(someday)will have TPI305/T-5, S-10 spindles/axles
76 Vega GT- 400/4spd/9" retired from active duty(rusty)
06 Silverado 2WD ex.cab daily
03 Silverado 2WD ex.cab (retired)
06 Haulin' 20ft enclosed car transporter
06 GMC Canyon Shop truck
07 Colorado project( 5.3 4L60e swap)
99 Saturn SL1- wife's car
01 Saturn SC2- son's project
07 Saturn Ion Redline project
and 4 more Saturn "parts cars"
Note- the very act of listing all of these has made me realize I have some kind of problem.....

I am thinking i could get a little more out of it in the ET department. it really needs a different converter if i keep it in this trim. If i add the hair dryer the converter may be about right. I figure at least 400HP on the stock engine with the turbo setup i built for it. have yet to decide if i will put it on but i have built a header and have the turbo, WG etc.

It is tempting but will it ever be consistent ?
