| how fast do you think one can go on a stock motor with no nearly no boltons except the must haves (walbro 340 w/ hw, tt chip or any others, etc.) with no alky in the 1/4? seeing as how nearly none of you are really stock anymore, just curious

 | good question  did my 'research  'well mr.wood said  ...Lawrence Conley told me once that his experience showed that about 530 hp was a practical limit before you got on really thin ice. In a light car, that would be about 11.0 or maybe a 10.9.just random info..hope it helps

I musta left out that LC was speaking of no girdle, etc. but plenty of bolt ons  Stock motor with no bolt ons, no alky, but a tank of race gas can approach low 12s if everything is right including the owner.

| Well, one of our members up here in the Great White North has run 9.68 in his slightly  modified GN...the man can obviously drive. He purchased a low mile bone stock GN...took it out last weekend with stock radial tires running pump gas and ran 13.9.

| do you know the mph on that 13.9 run? We ran a 13.9 awhile back on mine with horrible valve springs and the wiped cam and a one wheel, 16 psi and a little extra fuel. it was definitely floating though, 13.9 at 98 mph

| I have 87 "T" that is pretty much stock........only bolt on's are a K&N 9", Hooker CB and an Accufab FPR. I was at the track yesterday and ran a 13.9 on about 16psi. Was getting 4* KR, I didn't have very good fuel in it and couldn't crank the boost up much. I'm running an "old school" type chip in there (TT on order)....and I think it's holding me back as I think it may have too much timing programed in it. My 60' was a dismal 2.2 on a MT DR (track prep was nice )I was there the previous week and run a 13.86 with a 1.98 60'. Best mph so far is 99. 140KM showing on the clock.

 | Back in 2000, my old Limited went 12.26 @ 106.85 on a 1.62 60'. Stock longblock, stock turbo, stock injectors, stock TB, stock downpipe run open, Stock NON big neck I/C, built trans, 2800 red stripe convert, 255 pump, hot wire, ModernMuscle press regulator & guage, Steve Munroe doghouse, K&N cone, 26x10 slicks, not even skinnies. Lubrant 28* race chip, 22 psi boost, 02mv were around 760.. [as useless as they are, I wish I woulda had a wideband back then.]. Added big neck I/C and ported stock elbow with Modern Muscle 3" downpipe. Went 12.18 @ 108.9 1.69 60. Valve springs and skinnies and a wideband tune and it would have ran into the 11s im sure. This was a full weight Limited.
