My Turn, Hey Experts! What should I be runnin? Thanx.

1994 vert GT, 5 speed:

I just bought a 306 Long-block with gasket matched (e7)head ports, decked, honed, b303 cam, Flat top pistons with maximum compression allowed on pump gas, Flowtech headers, Flows, CAI, "pulleys," aluminum DS, 3.55 gears, stock intake, maybe porting.

Rated @275FWHP with headers alone and not all the other add ons I have.

What would a good driver like Killer Canary be able to pull off? Thx.

High to mid 13s if you are lucky. How do you know you are at the maximum compression allowed on pump gas?

 

[WhiteDevil]

yeah maybe 260rwhp.

That's about where I was thinking. After I install I will break it in the get a few trial runs. The manufacturer said the flat tops they put in are the highest compression I want to go unless I want to keep adding high octane boost or something, but I think that is after some dart heads or something. They increase power significantly but are meant to be maximized with aftermarket heads.

High 13's, with traction and a good driver, you could see mid 13's IMO, your gears being the limiting factor. Some 3:90's with traction could get you low 13's, but will get you mid-13's all day long.

Faster than 15.00 but slower than 13.00 that should help

On a serious not, I'll give you a more accurate number. Somewhere between 14.9 and 13.1, between 91mph and 109mph.

On slicks its good for mid to low 13's street tires maybe a high 13 to low 14
