Well...you're looking at a heavy ass car with a motor that has crap for low end but MONSTER high end and shitty weight distribution. If you had some good tires, a stock motor, and a good driver I'd say low 14s. Those motors weren't made for the dragstrip...they're AutoX motors. The valves are so huge that anything under about 3,000rpm isn't doing much for you. Then the redline comes up way too fast. Boss motors are really a street version of the short-lived 302 Tunnel Port head used for one racing season. Problem was to get max power from it you had to wrap it up to almost 9Krpm and the motors failed. If those motors were made today they would own anything with todays engine technology.
