That's because they see all these high horsepower cars on the internet and think their should make close to those because they feel fast to them. The first time I took the Chevelle to the drag strip back in 1994 I thought it was going to run 12's. It ran a best of 14.02 at 99 on slicks that I borrowed from a friend. The fastest it went with that same engine setup was a 13.20 at 102. That was from changing shocks, Carb tuning, ignition, gears, etc. Then I changed the cam and went 12.90. Then I ported the heads and went 12.70's. Then I built the 454 and started in the 11.50's and with tuning and a clean up of the heads went a best of 10.99 at 122 on just engine. I'm hoping for 10.80-10.70 with the changes I have planned but we'll see.
Adam, traction is the key to what ET your car will run. From what I remember you saying your suspension is stiff. That's not good for weight transfer. My guess is you'll run around an 11.70-11.20 range at around 128-130.

According to the calculators 10.30's but 11 flat is more my guess.

Calculaters are optimistic. Remember, he has a T56. The Chevelle put 530rwhp on the 150 shot weighs 3500 and ran in the 10.40 range at around 128. That's with a better tuned suspension and an auto.
I bet he can't pull better than a 1.80 60ft on a 19 drag radials.

Well, for reference, my suspension is of a similar basic type and stiffness. I weigh 3,100lbs, and put down 390whp measured. My best at Fontana on DRs (255 x 17) was 12.6@112.5 w/2.0 60'.

Why slower than your car? I thought your car had all around suspension and less hp?
Not that I disagree. I figured my car was 11s capable... but I would say that about your fox too.
Isnt Rons Cobra in the 11s?

Also, as far as drag suspension, dont you want stiff in the back, soft up front? To reduce squat but help weight transfer (RWD).
