Pass time is a great show, haha. But I'll make it even easier for you guys, I met with him yesterday and finished paying it off. It has 3.73 rear end gears with an LSD I'm pretty pumped to find that out! Unfortunately its buried in about 3 feet of snow in northern new hampshire... so it'll be awhile before I get the car and have a chance to get it ready for the track. but I'll be sure to post some times when it gets there!

Hmm, with those gears I would take a guess and say 14.4 in the 1/4. Just a guess tho. Let us know what it runs whenever you get it to the track.

if it hooks im saying itll go in the high 13s. the cars not super heavy, and with that gearing and that power it should be extremely capable of going into the 13s. theyre tough to launch and hopefully the cam thats in that car is matched to the gearing and the convertor. you dont want to run out of motor before you go thru the traps. oh and hes already given up a quick break down of the car so if were going to play pass time we would each need to ask one question. if you guys want ill go first.

Yeah I was hoping Mid to High 13's, the guy I'm purchasing it from knows what he's doing. it's parked next to an 89 firebird with an LT1, and an 89 ranger on 42"s lol. But as I've said before I don't have the car in my possession yet, just a bill of sale. It'll be buried under some snow for probably another month before it actually ends up in my driveway, but I can try my best to answer some questions!

find out your cam specs and what convertor is in that car, and what heads. im just curious. and if this was pass time i would probably ask what tire is on the car if i couldnt id it from where i was.
