Default estimated 1/4 mile

would anyone know what you think a 86 coupe would run in the quarter with a 302 rebuilt but pollished crank, reconditioned rods, head job, stiffer valve springs, 1.7 roller rockers, chromolly pushrods, weiand high rise intake, holley 600 double pumper, mallory unilite distirbutor with malloy ignition box, shory headers with h-pipe and no cats, 3.55 gears, sub-frame connectors, e303 cam, underdrive pulleys, electric fan, 2800 stall converter with a bult aod transmission. they have added clutches and a transgo shift kit, different control arms, glass hood, no back seat, no front sway bar, no a/c no power accessories and 125 shot of nitrous? i know it was long sorry, but i was currious, some ppl say 12's and mabey 11's if i can get traction but idk.

Maybe on the Nitrousa high 12, but I'm thinking more like mid 13's.

With a 125 shot...... no way he is only mid 13s. I would say high 12s at slowest.

that sounds about right, in a car that weighs around 3,000 pounds 7rwhp=.1 in the quarter.

I think I am the one who told you that, and you have to include weight of the driver. So if your car weighs 3000 with 350rwhp = 11.921 in the quarter. That is with the super good driver mod of course, and good traction. My car is supposed to run a 12.91 but I know at best I could run a low 13 cause I am not the greatest driver.
