Default whats your quarter mile time?

Who here has taken there car to the track? I am looking into building a new engine for my 73 camaro but would like to know what some of you have done to get where you are now. Kinda like I dont want to reinvent the wheel especialy if it doesnt get me any where.

So what have you run in the quarter mile and with what engine and performance mods to get it there?

Default my s10

so far its went 10.04 at 134. with a 6 year old 355 sbc, and a 150 shot. exploded the converter at half track. would have been quicker. im building a new setup now. 355. t88 turbo, and better converter. should be good for over 1000 at the wheels.

In the street racer, 9.12 / 147mph. Small block 404, pump gas, TH350, 4.10 12 bolt, 300 shot of giggle gas. But something tells me you are asking about ProTouring type cars.

I've never felt so inadequate
[email protected] with a 195,000 mile un-touched bone-stock low-compression 77 400 smallblock, TH350, and 3.08 gears.

New combo should put me in the high-12/low 13 range when it's done this spring... internally stock '95 caprice LT1/4L60, headers, programming, minor bolt-ons, 3000rpm converter, 4.10 posi rear.

Acually any car type will do,

You see I want to build my own engine and would like to run something in the low twelves. I am however building a pro-touring car. But would like for it to run pretty good times in the 1/4 mile mainly because when am I going to find a road course here in south TX. I still want the car to handle well and have all the trates of a pro-touring machine.
