Default 1/4 mile estimate

I haven't had much time on my hands lately to go to a track so I was wondering if you guys could estimate my 1/4 mile time for me. I have a 92' 5.0 AOD w/ flowmaster mufflers, AOD super street trans, 4.10 gears, and 2800 Stall Street Fighter torque convertor.


Thanks for the help guys I appreciate the time.

Jimmy

i think they are giving him such a generous time because of the tranny, gears and torque converter, and like 88 stangaroo said with slicks. I would still be surprised to see him run a 14 flat but it might happen.

Well, doesnt that tranny he have have a shift kit? If he could get enough grip to run full out in that thing and if it was set up with the TV cable and everything to shift hard and fast, with those slicks, it could be a low 14 sec car.

I do admit a 14 flat was a little optimistic But hell...im sure i could figure out how to do it, if i didnt break the car first.
