330 - 7.926
1/8 - 12.137
mph - 58.73
1000 - 15.706
1/4 - 18.775

What RPM are you launching at?

thats about right for that motor in a sedan, especially being an older stock motor at that, headwork would do wonders on it i'm sure



All show, coming soon ---> GO

header ... the stock down pipe is the most restrictive part of the car from the fact ... after the header and exhaust then the head is the next in line..
also work on your reaction times ....
other than that not bad

4000 seems a little high, but launching rpm will come with practice and seat time. launch at different rpms and see what works best for you. judging by your 60' times, you might be spinning too much. just put in some seat time and play with the rpm and the clutch, you'll get it eventually.
