What should I be trapping with street tires? and what do you expect I will run if I ever get the balls to add slicks? or at least DOT street tires?

umm, I have no idea, but wanted to say sweet car. My mom used to have a 70 or 71 bird. Unfortunatley she cant remeber what model it was.

what size motor? 350? i'd say you'll be close to 12's if not running 12's on a regular basis. Ehh, but unless you had a real shitty carb before and crappy exhaust before also, then i doubt it'll really take off .5 seconds. If your shootin' for 12's slap on some slicks.

350 lol no its a 400 CI

I would expect you to be well into the 12's with those mods. I love the early 2nd gen firebirds. DOT slicks should also take off another .2 - .3 sec. That car looks like a blast; good luck and as long as you beat turbo imports, that's all that matters.

7T4MULA, sweet ride. I have no experience to base a judgement on your ET/MPH improvements, but generally speaking Drag Radials will give you .2 to .3 and slicks will give you .3 to .5 from what I have seen.

Yeah, that is the only thing matters.

Is it easier to close a mind when it's small?

Sounds like you've had a problem with turbo'd imports. Have you talked to a shrink about this?
What about supercharged imports, same issue?

7T4MULA, cool ride. Keep us posted with times. Should be faster just with gear changing, but with the engine mods, you might be showing your donkey to alot of cars.
