What hp and 1/4 time am I looking at?

Well, I'm usually not very good at these types of estimates, but I'll give it a toss and see if I get a ringer.

I'm sure you realize this, but I'd be surprised if you're making more than 235-245 hp at the fly wheel. About the only power mods you have is exhaust. That will help some, but without the matching components in the intake and shortblock, its potential is limited. Your fuel mods are great investments, but they're not gonna help you out at this point besides maybe a hp or two from jockeying with the fuel pressure. I doubt the X-pipe would give you more than 10 more horsepower, and if it makes any difference at all at the track, you may see a gain of 1-2 mph.


As far as track times, let's take a look. First thing is the AOD. I don't know much about the TCI's, but I assume the have a manual shifting valve body with some shift improvement? If so, that's a step in the right direction. Also, what is the stall on your converter?? If it's around 2800 rpm, that's another step in the right direction.

As far as your rear end, it's my opinion that you're under-geared. You need at least 3.73's for good acceleration and 4.10's are ideal. Unfortunately, as I'm sure you factored into your selection, you loose fuel mileage. Also, your 17" rims have effectively taken away some of the advantage of your numerically higher gear.

The suspension mods you have are also great investments, but I don't think the powerplant and tranny you have spinning the driveshaft are going to shock the suspension enough to take advantage of the work you've done in that area.

As far as track times, depending on what stall you have and what altitude you're running, I'd say 14.7-14.3 at sea level.

Of course, I'm usually a pesimistic person when it comes to my car.
