What would I run in the 1/4? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Kybol · 04-14-2003, 06:31 PM

Well I am just curious whar you guys think it would do.

350 .030 over, edelbrock intake, cam, carb and timing set, flowtech headers w/dual 2.5 and flownasters, rebuilt 882 heads, TH350, 3.40 rear, and 275 tires.Don't kno what else you guys will need to know, Thanks for any replies.

CT-Truckster · 04-14-2003, 06:37 PM

just a wild guess off the top of my head i would say 16 seconds at 80 something mph. somewhere around that neighborhood

Hard_Core_Hick · 04-14-2003, 06:46 PM

my time was with stock 305 and exhaust off the headers was 15.18 at 85mph

85 GMC · 04-14-2003, 07:49 PM

i ran with a stock 350 and 3.42 gears a best with street tire 15.7 at 86 if i remember right. with stickey tires a little better but not much.

*1FaastC10* · 04-14-2003, 08:04 PM

i ran a 15.02 with my flat top 350 624 heads, stock cast iron intake with a 1" spacer, TH 350 at 3.08s

j phillips · 04-14-2003, 08:51 PM

I'm thinking mid 15's if everything is up to snuff.

My bud had a 86' swb 4x4 with that same motor; flattops, 204/214 cam, performer intake, 600 holley, open 1 5/8 headers, 3.42 gears, TH700R4, 31" tires. His best was a 16.17 at around 83mph.

Shorter tires and less weight will make yours quicker. Your track altitude will make a diference too.

Kybol · 04-15-2003, 12:28 AM

the comp ratio is right around 9.5 and the altitude is 2500 ft.

gchemist · 04-15-2003, 04:17 AM

I hope faster than high 16's or some 305's here with a 700R4 will edge you out.

Low87 · 04-15-2003, 11:27 AM

Beware the wicked G slamming out some high 16s with the trick 305!

IS that the 1/8th mile??
Damn if you have a stock 305 about to run 14's you need to call Guiness!! holy crap!! haha New Chevy trucks dont run that stock with the 4.8.....MOST the time.

Also ....15.1@ 85 doesnt sound quite right....what was your 60 ft? 1.4? Not trying to hate but damn.... most cars/trucks that run 85 mph are right around 15.7-16.3 e.t.'s with 2.0-2.4 60 ft's. Most stock trucks wont pull better than 2.2's unless they have really sticky tires and lots of suspension work in the rear.
Please give us more info on this....

DAMN BOYS!! Looks like we got us a G Stomper!!! Watch out holmes!!! hahahaa

LOHRTBT · 04-15-2003, 11:49 AM

My meter is trippin on this one ....hehehehe

bigblock73 · 04-15-2003, 01:03 PM

my old 355/12 bolt 4.10/th350 ran 14.6 @ 93 MPH.

low gears kill top end but make stoplight duty and tire chirpin lots-o-fun!

Tom · 04-15-2003, 01:03 PM

LOL dave I think your right on this one. Just like that guy on 73-87chevytrucks who claimed 12's using 305 heads and a 270H cam on a basiclly stock 350

I would hope the first combo should get low to mid 15's at worst.

AirMale · 04-15-2003, 01:14 PM

I think some of you guys are pickin' through the trash at the track fishing for good time-slips. But seriously, if you can run below 16.0 you've accomplished something with your set up.

TIMSPEED · 04-15-2003, 01:30 PM

I'm just hoping I run like a mid 14 with my setup. (Except I'll have a 3.42 posi and sticky tires)

85 GMC · 04-15-2003, 01:47 PM

take your bedliner out , and pull the gate off when you get there.
I did that and its good for a couple of tenths , as long as you have good traction. If your running street tires dont do a burnout , drive around the waterbox. I noticed when i heated up my radial ta's it got loose out of the hole worse.
Is that a long box or a swb ? just wondering

LOL!!!! Let's see how high we can pile it. :p
My 305 smog pump pulled a best of 2.5078 on the 60 ft mark with loosing traction too.

BigRed · 04-15-2003, 04:41 PM

Ha, I've got you all beat! I can go from 0 to dead on the side of the road in about 5 seconds flat!!

If this was aimed at me...
I don't have a bedliner, nor do I have a gate. When my truck was 100% stock, it weighed 3650#, now with the mods I've done, I'm hoping it's closer to 3400#
Who knows...we'll just have to wait and see till' it's tuned in right and I get to the track.

LOHRTBT · 04-15-2003, 05:04 PM

whoa....Tim your gonna have to remove a lot to be at 3400...let us know what you come out at.

Im at 3960.

79BIG10 · 04-16-2003, 12:26 AM

Hell try 5000 without driver!!!

*1FaastC10* · 04-16-2003, 12:53 AM

Tim, you may want to weigh that thing again. i'd say closer to 4650, my '82 weighed almost 5000 with my best friend still sitting in the seat (so probably around 4850)

Yeah, I thought it was a little light too, but yeah, that's the DMV weighing this truck (Because it's registered as a commercial vehicle, it HAS to be weighed BY the DMV..they weighed it at 3650..remember, I have NO POWER ANYTHING as well as no deluxe anything.)

*1FaastC10* · 04-16-2003, 02:41 AM

i've only got power steering and power brakes. surely that's not an extra 1000#. if so, they're definitely going bye bye!
