My guess is about a 14.8-14.9 at about 95 or so. The car starts to loose power above 4,500 rpms because if the stock HO intake (heads and cam are good to ~5,400 rpm). Over the winter I'm installing the GT40 intake I have and a 65mm TB. Once the car comes out in the spring I'm also going to have the exhaust aft of the H-pipe upped to 2.5". That should hopefully knock about .4-.5 of a second off the 1/4 mile time (I think I'm being a bit optimistic on that though). I'm trying to get to a track before they close for the season but the closest one I can run at on the weekends is almost 2 hours away. I keep getting assignments at school that take up my Sundays. Stupid college:hick:

You can't turn the tires over now with the 3.08 Traction-Lok? The old SO and the stock 2.73 open would spin the tires :hick:

I'm not mashing the throttle form a stop;)  I'm trying to get to the point where they just chirp/spin a little and then nail it. What I should do is get a vid of a full throttle launch. Then you can hear my problem. Torque starts comming on strong about 2,200 rpms. The stock converter stalls at about 1,800-1,900 rpms. I'm not shocking the tires at less than full throttle so they just spin a little. I'm a bit affraid to go with a 2,400 rpm stall as I'm afriad I'll have bad traction problems (or not:hick: ).
