Default what will this run?

Just trying to get an idea of what I can expect.

2005 4.6, 4.10s, vortech v3 standard.

Thanks!

Let's say a pair of street radials. I have regular 255s on now but plan on getting wider ones.

Mid 12s on a 2.0-2.1 60, on street tires. You're not going to be able to shift hard enough on street tires to nail a lower 12, not without losing traction. Traps should be on up there though, I'm thinking 115 or so. If you go-ahead and do it right and get tires, along with proper cooling, you can get a basement 12 or high 11 out of it easily. Personally, i wouldn't push her too hard on stock internals.

With a non-intercooled set up I ran a 12.5@108mph w/2.0 60 ft., 8 psi, 4.10s auto trans, street tires. Pretty consistent 12.8@108mph.

On 10psi, I ran a consistent 13.0/13.3@111mph with shietty 2.6 60 fts. while having to let off the throttle repeatingly between shifts in order to get any sort of traction, only being able to go WOT while already halfway down the track. This was on Street tires@30 psi.

Needless to say, DR's are arriving sometime next week

You're going to have to wait some time between runs.. that non-intercooled kit gets heat soaked REAL quick. trust me.. I have ran too many 13.5s on a non-intercooled set up and I live way up north rofl

Lol, I won't race it much. The good news I guess is that the only track around is a 1/8 mile, so I won't be pushing it as hard. Question for you stealth. Do you come close to running out of gear when running 1/4s with your 4.10s?

I am right at 6k RPM at the finish line. If I keep on it, I can peg the tach all the way to 6500 but I do not for obvious reasons lol

I believe I was right at 8.0/88mph in the 1/8th.. not bad but not terrible

man! get anymore hp and you're gonna have to go down to 3.90 or 3.73. 8 @ 88? I'll see if I can beat it. I'm not the best driver in the world(yet, I don't have anywhere to practice hard shifts really) but we'll see what I can do.
