A converter and a good tune and could be in the low 14's I reckon, 13.5?...I doubt it, that needs 266fwhp, can a true 50hp be gained if the tune is off some?...depends how wrong it is now, it don't sound that bad with that mph, its just the 60...even that 15.02 should be in the high 2.0's.

with 3.91's and same hp you'd be>

sea level numbers.
just a few quick calcs I did.


I'd bet my house I could tune 50 into that combo. Then add in the converter and the gear and it should be an easy mid 13 second car. That is just stupid easy any more.

I'm old enough to remember how hard it was to get in the 12's and drive it on the street. Especially when all the 13 second cars that had 500 HP.

Today 12's is like falling off a log. 11's are pretty much the same.

Hell, a decent 380 inch engine with decent heads can drop into the 10's all day long.
