Going to the track tomorrow...guesses on what I'll run

82 GT · 08-06-2004, 10:43 PM

I'm taking my '82 to the track tomorrow. You can see my mods in my signature below.
Any guesses on what she'll run? I won't have slicks but I "borrowed" the rear tires from my '88GT which are 15 inch compared to the 14 inchers.(quite a difference actually)
The only mod not listed is the taurus fan I installed last week.

I'll post my results Saturday night

I voted mid 13's, but you better run at LEAST that fast with good traction and a decent 60-foot time, especially with a 351 pushing it. What kind of heads are you running anyway?

Ported and polished '74 heads with 1.94/1.60 valves

I voted high 12's, but I honestly believe that if the traction gods are with you, you should go mid to low 12's.

Good luck, and make sure you let us know!
