Default performance question

how well do you think a 94 gt with a cai, 65mm t body, ported intake, tfs stage one cam, cobra rockers, march pullies, msd ignition, jms chip. and a 3.55 gear should run?

I would think that with the 'good driver' mod (one that i'm working on accomplishing) you might be mid to high 13's

actually the cam is what helped me most out of all of that. installing it alone brought it up from when it was bone stock from 16.4 to 15.1 then from there all i got out of doing the rest was a 14.7 so i'm like wtf is holding me back here? ive done all this other stuff and only get four tenths out of it?

Yep, you can only do so much with the E7 heads.

BTW: What is the elevation at, at your track? Mine is at appx. 3000 ft. and I ran 14.8 bone stock in my 94.

true weight does affect, but a notch is only 500 lbs lighter which is about .5 in a quarter. numbers still not adding up. i'm sure stock heads have a lot to do with it too, but as 91hatchgt said he ran a 14.8 bone stock in the same style car
