Default hp vs time ???

Ok so wat do you guys think my 1/8 time would be with a gt40 crate motor(e303 cam), vortec s/c(8psi), tremec tranny, full exhaust, drag radials, and a dry 100shot? im assuming this is about 550rwhp btw on a 94gt with a racing clutch and pro 5.0 shortthrow shifter.....

I'm thinkin you'll see low 7's easily, possibly high 6's. Let us know when you run, I'm interested.

I don't see any problem with at least mid-7s. At least. But your trap will be the judge of what ET your car is capable of. In a street car if you can trap anywhere near the high-90mph mark, then you car is AT LEAST capable of low 7s. Go see and come post.
