My stock ZZ-502 ran 12.19 in my 72 with 3.55 gears, 3000 stall converter, and 275-60-15 Drag radials.

So I'd guess you will be that quick anyway.

Some guys are getting high 11s with a little more drag specific set up.

thanks for the reply....are you considering any type of nitrous set up?? I read about that zex system ant sounds pretty cool..

My car is not set up for drag racing and easily runs in the 11's on Goodyear Eagles. I got booted from the track after 3 back to back 11 second runs with 60's in the 1.85 range!

With a stock zz502 and race springs and shocks my 69 ran two 11.9's. That was with slicks and 2 1/2" mufflers.

The convertor I used racing was a TCI Breakaway. It brokeaway alright. It split at the weld on the two halves.
Now I have a custom 11" Coan.

The 60 ft times were 1.633 and 1.674.
Pulled the wheel too

BTW I think this car weighs about 3770.

I would guess since your car is probaly lighter you can get low 12's high 11's.
Once you get it to hook.

Yes, I've given some thought to a bottle in the trunk.
I'm not sure if I'll go that way or maybe change the cam for something more aggressive. The bottle is only a factor when you use it, so it wouldn't deminish what I consider pretty mellow street manners for a 500 hp engine. Less complicated than a cam change too.

If I'd juice this thing, all I'd really want would be 11.50 so I wouldn't have to do the roll bar thing. At 6'4" and 39 years old, don't want to climb through a jungle gym just to drive my car.

But I have long dreamed of a car that would do a wheelie.
