Taking my Z to the 1/8 mile track on Wednesday - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

Nacho_ZR1 · 02-12-2011

I know the Z is more geared for the 1/4 mile but I am also taking my '64 Nova as well so its going to be a day full of flogging!

I took the Nova to the track a couple weeks ago and ran a 6.80 at 101mph. That was also with slicks and a 1.499 '60 foot

What should i expect with the Z? She has stock tires and 4.30 gears so I will be more curious with the MPH to get a true indicator of how the car is running.

Those of you with timeslips, did your 1/8 and 1/4 mile times match to sites such as these: http://www.fl-thirdgen.org/quartermileconversion.html

What do you all think it will run:
-92 Z with 88k miles
-K&N with cutout lid
-Jeal headers
-Stock exhaust with X-pipe and Dynomax mufflers
-4.30 gears
-Corey Henderson tuned chip

Lee, i think he should go a bit faster.

If you can get/stay under 2.0 60ft
I would guess around 8.5 at about 90 +- depending on his driving.

The chart you posted is on the money i ran
1/8 7.1 @ 100
1/4 11.09 @ 129

i would guess around 8.5-9.0 at 86-88 mph . your going to have to be really care full off the line .also you might try short shifting the 1-2 shift to limit wheel spin .

He is on street tires, right....that makes a big difference.

LGAFF · 02-12-2011

Probably right time is will be 8.4-8.7...altough MPH might still be in the 85-87 range....will be interested to see, your car makes good power with the mods

I will have to go find the slip for my et. My mph however was 89.45. Ported intake/ inj.hs and flowmaster catback. 355 rwhp at the time. I will predict 8.2@90.6.
good luck.

remember he hasnt had any porting done to her . with 430s on street tires launching is going to be a peddle fest at best doesnt anyone have a set of drag radials they can loan you for a night . even 275x40x17s would work decent .bottem line have a ton of fun trying her out .

Yes this is what i am looking for honestly. If my mph is 89 or greater then i will be happy. The car already weighs 3600 and my tubby a$$ weighs around 240 so the car will be h e a v y.
