BennyBoy, my car dyno's at 223.5 @ 5100 and 262.8 at 3750 at the rear wheels. 223.5/.75 = 298 SAE hp. If you convert SAE to standard hp like you get from the engine dynos in the magazines you add about 4-4.5%.

My car weighs 3020 lbs. without me in it. I weigh about 220, track wt. is about 3250 with 1/2 tank of gas.

My intention is to have a good street driver, so my car has more or less a road racing suspension, not a drag racing suspension. I'm using 620 front coils cut about a 1/4 turn. I have 1 1/8" front sway bar and a 3/4" rear sway bar. Adjustable Gabriel Strider shocks at all 4 corners set at the stiffest setting. 5 leaf springs with mid eyes at the rear. 235/60/15 BFG Radial TA's at the rear and 215/60/15's at the front. This set up makes the car handle well and still hooks well with my 8" 3.25 Traction-Lock and C-4.

Best 60'......2.107
Best 330'.....5.889
Best 660'.....8.978/80.17
Best 1000'....11.656
Best 1320'....13.951
Best 1320'....100.35

All these times are from different time slips, but are the best times for the different points on the track.

If there's anything else you want to know about my set up, feel free to ask.
