my 79 has a 6port 13b with
bridgeport
holley carb (not sure of the exact size)
racing beat intake
racing beat full exhaust
and in case if your wondering it has 225/50s all around

I just kind of wanted some estimates of the possible horsepower and 1/4 mile time from other people who have a little more knowledge than me.
Thanks

oh and also my car has an imsa widebody kit that saves a little weight if it makes any difference

 

I dont really kno, but do you drive that thing on the street?

 

225/50s - your ETs will probably suck.

HP - somewhere between 100hp and 250. ET - anywhere from 12.5 to 19. There are an incredible number of variables, all you've told is is what parts have been thrown at the car. Get thee to a dragstrip and learn to drive it (even if you think you know, you don't) and get it tuned.

 

I will be driving it on the street in september when i get my liscense cause this is my first car. Also me and my dad are doing alot of bodywork gettin it ready for paint.

 

6 Port WITH a Bridgeport? must be a typo

I would also think the widebody would make the 1/4 slower, more drag.....

 

so are you saying those are the best if all the variables were in my favor?

 

can a 6 port not have a bridgeport

 

Yeah you kind of have a point about the widebody kit.

 

Judge Ito in NJ has built some 6 port bridgeports that go like stink, Ive seen videos, beat one of his modded T2's

 

what kind of times was he getting in the 1/4mile

 

I dunno. You might have trouble driving it on the street. Definately not good for a daily driver. I would expect at least 200hp out of it and mid 13's. But I know very little about bridgeports, so I would like it if you don't quote me on that.

 

I'm with peejay on this one. Too many varibles, the only way to really know is to run the car.

 

Why might i have trouble driving it on the street?

 

Bridgeports generally make max power over 8000 rpm, and have VERY poor low end power and torque. A bridgeport also should have an idle of over 1300 rpm. On top of that they are gas hogs (expect something lower than 10mpg), and need some special parts to handle the high RPM if you ever expect to go there.

 

well mine idles at 2000 and dies if it goes anywhere below that. As for the low end power its actually pretty good, i was suprised when i test drove it and will easily light em up in the low rpm range.

 

And it actually gets good gas mileage suprisingly.
I drove over a hundred miles on one tank.

 

my car is stock and i get 280 per tank

 

Like I said, I know very little about bridgeports.

 

you know the cars like a 16 gallon tank right?

 

no i didnt know that

 

the haynes says 14.5 gallons i think
