Im in the process of building an 86 camaro racecar. I'm putting a 10 point cage in it, new lower control arms, panhard bar, torque arm, moser 9inch rearend with most likely 456 gears, coil overs, a bbc 427 with all forged internals, flat top pistons, dart pro 1's aluminum heads cut a hundred thousanths, not sure on the cam yet probably a big one, dart intake, holley 1050 calibrated for e85, a built turbo 350, and a nos dual stage kit with a 100 hp shot first then a 250 hp shot. Any ideas on what I willn run on and off the juice? Eighth and quarter mile e.t.'s?

William, it all depends on the weight, power, and atmospheric conditions. You could possibly run mid to low 9's or mid to low 10's on motor depending on the weight and atmospheric conditions. Mid to low 8's or mid to low 9's on spray. If you run at a low altitude track with good conditions take the lower numbers as a ballpark figure assuming you have a 2500-2600 pound car with driver, if you run at a high elevated track and avg. conditions take the high numbers. But keep in mind weight is a big factor on performance. Hope this helps.
