building a 12a

alrite i just got a 82 fb and i wanna make a decent race car outta it. Of course money is an issue so i am going for a cheap fast car. here is my setup

Yawpower modified nikki carb
Bridge Port
4.8 gears
no2
and a nice clutch

What do u think the car will do in power and 1/4 times
i previously had a 89 240sx and had it running 15.3 in the quarter, which is good i think since it is only supposed to do the 1/4 im 16.6

It's n2o.

Sounds like a pretty good setup. A well setup 12A bridge should be able to run 13sec quarters so depending on how much nitrous you use the potential is there for some quick times.

with a full blown bridge port, that yaw carb aint gonna be sufficient. you will need at least a holley or an IDA set up.

You're probably going to need forced induction to make that kind of power.
