Re: Just wondering if....
Run it at the track and tell us. It's hard telling, for all i know you could be a shitty driver who could only manage 16's with that setup...

Re: Just wondering if....
Hard to say... they're a mid to low 14 second car to begin with.
But a 1993 LT1 is... well 12 years old. And probably tired... don't expect much over mid 13s if you're a competent driver. You can't expect much from the motor... she's old. Be gentle on her.

Re: Just wondering if....
Yeah i'd say mid 13's....my guess is like 13.40 or something.
I do believe those cars have a good weight transfer so wheel spin will be minimal-an advantage over alot of rwd cars that have lots of suspension work. All those mods should give maybe what, 60hp/25ft lbs torque..? Thats pretty much what a tired engine loses over time..not that much, but a good amount due to wear. Example, my 4.6 new is 205bhp and probably would get 175RWHP to the wheels on a dyno, but after 133k miles...it's probably like 145/150..

Um, actually... the LT1's have a good amount of torque. So traction is an issue.
Some suspension work is recommended. there are a few sites out there that can help you like: http://www.thunderracing.com can http://tbyrne.com/index.html http://www.slponline.com/main.asp Those should get you started. oh and moved to non-specific.

Re: Just wondering if....
Mid 90mph traps...
ET is too varied. MPH is more of a constant.
