I'm hoping low 11's.

haha anything is possible, if you can afford it. BlackJack swaped to a 4t65-HD and he is putting down about 400 hp iirc. If your putting down 400 at the wheels, with slicks, that would probably get you in mid 11s. maybe low 12's, if i did my math right.

cliffordwoeller · 03-26-2009, 10:48 AM

hmmmm nice

For me yes, too bad I don't have an auto.

If I was smart, I'd get a built auto, nope, stickin' w/ the manual.

[ion] C2 · 03-26-2009, 03:44 PM

autos are for drag racing... manuals are more fun..

i like electronic control (i'm a programmer)

So you would stick with an auto cause i was thinking of swaping in a 5speed when i put in the engine

If I was going to strictly drag race the car and not drive it on the street. Yeah, I'd go with the auto.

However, I'm "old school" in the sense that I like to "control" my machine, even if it isn't "ideal" for getting the best times.
