is low 13's/high12's possible w/this combo?

czar · Dec 3, 2002

i am currently running a 350HO w/vortec heads, 268xe, 650v/c, edel rpm, unilite, afterburners, flows into a stock 1800 conv, TH350, posi 3.42's on 265/50/15 bfg's rolling on centerlines autodrags...i've also got a fiber/cowl hood on my '72...

i have not had a chance to run this combo at the track but it feels pretty strong.

I would suspect upper 13's and possibly mid 13's if all is bang on with good hook up.

I don't know if the radials will let you get to the 12's or not. If you can get the car to hook I don't see a problem getting into the low 13's. You might need a little more converter, but the only way to know is to go to the track. Do you have sub frame connectors or traction bars? With out these items I say mid to high 13's would be possible.

I ran a 13.3 @100 with a 9.6CR 355, Vortecs and a XE274 in a 3700# '80 RS.
It's all in the tuning...

355 with xe268 1.52 rockers,Q-jet,headers,5 speed and 3.42 gears. On 235-60 15 goodyear gt's full weight just ran 13.6 @ 103.5. 2.2 60 ft I can't drive and traction is almost nill. I have trickflow heads which are close to vortecs so I think you (and me) should be able to squeek out a high 12 with some effort.(12.999999999)

jims73z- What kind of trick flow heads are you running? What does your car weigh?

czar · Dec 5, 2002

thanks for the input guys....

royce, i still have my ssm sub conns in the box...my hot rod has taken a back seat to my 3 young kids, new property, 5 series bimmer and an upcoming suburb or tahoe!

i'll probably resort to using a g-tech since it'll be a while till i return to baylands...oops, no more baylands. i'll have to try sears point one day!

thanks again!

Bink,
I'd guess my car weighs 3800+ with my 235
and 2 toolboxes in trunk. Fully loaded 73
The trickflows are the least expensive ones.
23* with 64 cc chambers no cnc work. I paid 795 from summit in august (match price}I
have no traction devices {except toolboxes and spare}

is low 13's/high12's possible w/this combo?
