I would say depending on your power, your driving ability, low 12's or high 11's maybe? I'm not huge into 1/4 so I'm just guessing from what I've seen some people put down, but theres no really built lnf yet that I've seen.

If you do it, good job, hope you the best.

But with all that power don't forget a clutch.

Fabian, I'm glad I saw this. Reminds me to go get pricing on the rods. I also got some info on the oil filter stuff. It will be about $100 cheaper than the insurance, so that works out good. Let me know when you have the insurance stuff straightend out and I'll have to get the money from you to buy the parts.

I'm pretty excited to see the results of a fully built lnf. I was pondering buying that long block lnf off the forum to play with....

Yes I mean the build, but do it right. Get a clutch, make sure your not pushing things beyond threshold, and do your research (not saying you haven't).

I think the question you meant to ask was: given ideal conditions, what should my car be capable of?

You could have a 600hp vette and run 12's if you can't drive it.

Given the HP and TQ when you get the car back, you should be in the upper 12's.
Given the HP and TQ after the latter mods, you should be able to pull that into the low 12's, maybe even a high 11.


But there are a myriad of factors that will determine your ET, to include:

1>Traction -- use of slicks or not.
2>Driver error -- HUGE factor, traction will be determined by this, along with how quickly you shift.
3>Atmospheric conditions -- Altitude, temperature on the day you run, humidity
4>Track prep -- SEE FIRST POINT

Those are the main factors. But, it's hit or miss on track day. A lot can happen over the course of a quarter mile that won't show on a dyno graph. For all you know, your car could be cutting fuel at the top of 3rd. Or maybe you won't be making optimal boost out of the hole for whatever reason.

Run your car, let us know how you do. But be realistic, don't paper race, you'll just be disappointed.

:'( lower the boost man.. you're going to crack a piston.. 24 is the limit of the stock turbo.. and you should get the same whp with it .. maybe less trq but still and it would be a shame to crack those new purdy pistons

but with f00t ballz and slicks/ DR's you could be into the 11's now just tapping them but you could get it barely you should get low 12s with your current setup..

I think you might need more than a spec stg 3, it may work but you may be at it's threshold, and it is better to have more than just enough.

Go for the Stg 3+ or Stg 5.

Also get a set of Pedder's to put force down on the front of the car. More resistance will help you keep traction, I would go with low boost on your new tune first gear.

You don't want to be kicking yourself in the ass later.

I say low 12's with the set up in the first post. A 17" rim and a wider stickier drag radial and maybe high 11's.
