No shit!
However, that 250-shot would be fun as hell. . . once.

My cousins coupe dropped around .8 on a 125 shot. He was having traction issues on the bottle though, I am sure slicks would have knocked another couple of tenths off. His setup was gt40 heads, b cam, street heat intake, through a powerglide. The best time at Bama was low 7's on drag radials.

Seen similar results too, thus my numbers.
How's 12.99 to 11.77 on a 125 dry kit sound!? Automatic Trans might be why Lee & Brian are thinking it's outrageous.

i believe dropping that much in the 1/4. But that is a drastic drop in the 1/8. On a 150 shot my car dropped around 1.1-1.2 sec in the 1/4. 1/8 was half that which equals out to the right math

Yea, I might have been a little generous. But it would certainly go high 7's. That's all he's looking for.

I agree with the statement Matt (coupe) made earlier, I would try and find a set of aluminum heads and a used cobra (or other) intake.
The 94/95 Cobras were rated at 240 hp (I think 93 was 235) so through in a cam and you may pick up 15-20 hp and be close to those ratings at the wheel. I would think with a set of after market head, intake, MAF etc... and you should be quite a bite higher, perhaps in the 260-285 range (what do you guys think). I would save a little, and put you money down one time on good stuff. Until you have the money, race the heck out of the car and get good at launching it, and leaving the tree.

No, see my above statement. We think it's outrageous because it [i]is[/i[ outrageous! Automatic or stick, you're not going to drop that much 1/8 mile ET on a small kit.

I think it just takes you a 200 shot to knock off .8 sec.

What about 9.30s off the spray, and 730s on the spray? We have a 351 in a Pinto wagon that will gain exactly 2 whole seconds on a 150 horse shot. This same motor was in a Ranger pickup years ago and would gain exactly the same, These times are 1/8 mile times, he has never ran 1/4 mile, (i don't think he has enough gear).although this is the only time i have ever saw this much gain from such a small shot.
