: Thank you very much for your info. The reason I asked is because I am trying to get some sort of idea of what my car should run. I know, the only way to know is by doing, but I haven't finished my car enough to take it to the track yet. BTW, my car is a 70, weight unknown but assume around 2700 but feels heavier, C4, having 3.55 gears installed as I speak, 302 with headers, flowmasters and 2 1/4 pipes, performer cam and intake, 500 cfm edlebrock carb., around 9.5-10:1 comp. ratio, with low miles on engine, no acces. except for water pump, fan and Alt., 215 70 R14 tires.
: Would you or anyone else have atleast an assumption what my car is approx. capable of?
: Thanks
I have a 72 Maverick and had a worn out 289 (stock pistons, only thing done was rings and bearings) a RV camshaft a 500 cfm Holley 2 barrel, cast iron exhaust manifolds with 2.5 inch exhaust, stock converter, full manual valvebody C4, 3.00:1 gears and 236/60R15 tires. My car weighed 2860 with driver and i ran a best of 15.34 at 89mph. That motor is no longer in my car but you should probly expect a mid to high 14 or a low 15 at the worst. Have fun.
