What should this car run?

skiwesser · 10-28-2007, 11:32 PM

You guy's have helped me all along and I think I should be faster than the 8.61 @80.7 the only time I went to strip since tune, also first time on M/T ET Streets (26x10's) 60' times were off a bit compared to the old tall Mcreary's (1.94's from 1.86's). Spun every time in first gear. P.S.:3.73 gears, stock rear suspension, 3330 lbs
What do you suppose I should be in the 1/8th?
Thanks, may go back before tracks close.

You should be in the 8.20's at a minimum. Put on some slicks, dump the clutch at about 5 grand, bang the gears at about 6 grand and it shouldnt be a problem.

8.60's @ 80mph in the 8th is around 13.40's @ 100 in the 1/4 right? With a 331, even low compression, heads, cam, intake, and gears, that car should be running high 12's at the worst. Somethings wrong IMO. Your right, you should be faster.
