what goal time should i have for the track?

[400SBCmc]

Hi guys,

I am just about done putting my car together, I plan on taking it to the track some time this summer, i wanted to know based on a couple peoples thaughts, what time i can maybe hit in 1/4 mile. I aint looking to hit right on any time, but i mean some type of guess will lead me to build and tune to where it should be. Its an 81 monte carlo with an off stock 350, basic headers, 2 1/2 collectors to rear dumps, th350 trans with stage 1 light shift kit, and 3500 stall converter, and a 7.5 4:10 rearend, i put a sway bar on because i am aware they will help twisting motions. If anyone has any thoughts or questions, please lmk. Thanks

The motor was in the car when i bought it, barely anything done to the 350 except for an intake and a carb. I plan on putting my 400 in after i put a bit of money into it. I will get a little bit of info later today

yeah if no weight reduction and those minor mods high 14s maybe mid...sound like a great foundation im doing a 305 build with some bolt ons maybe you can start a thread and show us all your starting point and keep going til u reach your goal! but ill personally keep the 350 in it and build on that! good luck and keep us posted
