No its a 350, with 3.70s to boot which is why I'm sort of scratching my head. Best 60 foot was 2.1, and best ET was a 14.9 at 89 a year ago, with an auto. Theoretically, the manual would be a little quicker. Guess I need to get the launch down. I know I can get it down time wise. Spec wise that car should be running 14s. Most of it may be the unfamiliarity of the car now that it is a manual, but I did a run a couple weeks prior on an empty stretch of road. approx 500 feet, and the car was at a dead stop, before I hit the end of the stretch (corner) it was doing faster MPH wise than my 1/8th mile trap. as much as 5 mph faster.
Deadtrend, it was setup for autocross by Matt who seems to have gone MIA around here. Konis, Eibachs, strut mounts, aluminum driveshaft, double rod ended panhard bar, I added tubular LCAs, a wonderbar, the six speed and poly bushings on the trans and torque arm. From what I know and have been told, you have to compromise somewhere if you want to do well at both drag racing and autoX/road courses. You're leaving room on the table for one or the other. Can have a pure drag setup, or a road course setup, but one will not work well or as well when using the other. I felt better taking the turnaround at speed than getting off the line. Even 12secV6 guy said I was taking the turnaround corner faster than he was.
