You should expect at least a 16 second 1/4 mile. We don't know what you've built there

Probably no worse than 15's with decent traction and launch.

Truck...1985 2wd Ranger

Donor vehicle...1976 LTD2 with a REALLY tired 2bbl 351W, FMX tranny, Mopar 8.75" rear loaded w/ 3.23 SureGrip from a Cordoba(narrowed 15"), and S-10 rear springs. This involved a lot of horse trading and selling what I could from the donor cars. This set up went a dismal 16.2 sec in the 1/4...the motor was SUPER tired.

Gen 2 consisted up swapping the FMX for a C4 loaded with all kinds of goodies and building the motor w/ WP 2.02/1.60 heads, .030 over KB slugs, Edelbrock intake, Crane roller goodies and Carter AFB 625. This went a best of 14.143 at 95.5mph. Still running the 3.23's and 275/60-15's. I had $400 in the trans plus TCI Convertor and about $2K in the motor.

Gen 3 started four years ago...kid and house came along so all progress stopped. In Sept I started and finished this phase. The upgrades this time were...cam to a .512 lift Crane, fuel cell, batt reloc'd to the bed, Holley Red pump, bigger fuel lines. So it's still through the mani's and 2" pipes which is really slowing it down. With 275/60-15's radials and 3.23's I made one pass less than 12hr's after completing the build and went 13.90@99mph. That's .2 sec and 4mph faster than the gen 2 configuration with no tune time...it ran, rolled and stopped at 1AM so I trailered it and went to bed. After that I let the kid who helped me race it...he was bad...nuff said. I went back to racing the 2000 Bandit 1200S! Added $$ this time was about $1K in parts and misc stuff.

In the process now of trying to buy TP headers, installed a 750 Dual Feed Holley, tuning, swapping to 3.55's and 26" ET Streets, then also dumping the power steering. Should easily push into the mid-high 12's with all the above stuff added. Track opens on April 6...we'll see then.
