just got my car done yestersday and was wondering what yall think it may run its got an 347 carburated that dynoed 427 hp and 485 tq ive got a PA C4 with a 4000 stall and a protree brake its got 33 splines with a 4.88 gear you think that somewhere around 6.5's is possible

 

well its certainly gonna scream in the 1/8... dont bother trying to make a 1/4 mile run

 

sounds like you're wound too tight for a 1/4

 

its an 1/8th car only

 

I hope you're planning on revving pretty high with 4.88 gears. I'd say 6.7-6.8's don't know if 6.5's will be easy but can be done I'm sure.

 

Whats the set up on your engine? just curious

 

how's the engine built?? ie what components??

 

where did he go we want to know what kind of build netted u those numbers?

and i have a friend that runs low 7's wit ha 400 horsepower vette with a 150 shot on it so i say mid 6's are a little too far but none the less it should net some good numbers?

 

I did a 347, 12.5:1, Z304 Heads, small solid roller in a fox body with a 125 shot and it went 6.40's 109 first pass. The converter is key, 99% of people get it wrong and wonder why the car is a pig but makes a bunch of hp on a dyno, but is lame at the track

 

Remember, track's conditions vary (altitude, prep, etc.), drivers, tire conditions, etc, etc.

Rarely do I see anyone post track prep conditions. It is wonder why the fastest times in the country are all by the coast, *cough - cough*, sea-level.

The drag strip has a ton of variables. It is tough to compare combination vs. combination.
