After dicussing with a couple of people IRL, I can’t believe no one has started such a hot topic yet! There is the _who_ do you wanna run thread, but how about we start quantifying things with numbers? So, what are you “honestly expecting” to run in the 1/4 mile **this year**? BTW - The poll is for elapsed times you expect, because we _always run at the track_ here, the winner is decided by who gets to the finish first. **I should specify that if you have ZERO plans to have your car running down the track this year - then you probably shouldn’t vote** 😉 ---

:lol: just what we need…another thread specifically for the bench racers… i guess i’ll contribute. since people on the Z boards with the exact same setup and basic mods as i have are making between 300whp and 360whp (same mods…yet huge range in power, who knows why), and running between mid 13’s to low 12’s…i guess i’ll vote for the 12.3-12.99 range…i’d be happy with that… ---

the rear end is going to be the only BIG thing that would hold me back right now…im still undecided if i want to keep the car :lol: after last night its a safe assumption that i do…the heads, cam, intake manifold are all def. do-able within the next month or so… so if i can get a new rear end done before the season ends then you’ll be seeing low 11’s… ---

im hoping i can nail some low 12’s high 11’s to match last year.🙂 well looks like kingsario is looking for 13’s and fastmofo is hoping for 14’s. Atleast we were able to keep the pole honest.:lol: ---
