Actually that should have no problem running 10s in Denver.

550ftlbs at 5000 rpm. 618hp at 6600rpm. Does the winner get a prize? And if so, are we using Price is Right rules? :D

I'd think so.

I did a 10/1 comp 383 for street car at a bit more weight than yours with a 3.73 gear and it ran 10.54 @ 129

low 10s for you should be a walk in the park. :)

Dart SHP block 4.125 bore,fully studded, .904 lifter bore,Callies Magnum 3.875,Callies Ultra XD 6" rods, Speier V2.50PF 227 cc, 2.53 AVG. CSA, 2.1/1.6, 314 @ .600, 323 @ .700,1.7 T&D rocker shaft, Jones solid roller 1.020" B.C., 110 L/C, I. C. 106, E.C. 114, in op 26,cl 56, x op 68, cl 20. .421in./ .412ex. .699/.680. Super Vic II, 950 Race Demon. These are the basics for the engine for my 42Stude. Behind this motor slated for my 3200lbs. coupe is a Liberty faceplated TKO 600, 57 Olds 4.88s, 29x13 Goodyear slicks. Think it will run low 10s? Best et with worn out 383/ mis-matched combo is 1.46, 10.75@125
I made a couple changes to the above combo, instead of a Super Vic II and a 950 Demon, I have a fully ported Motown with the plenum mod from Speier Racing Heads and Will have a (very soon I hope) Whitener 1050. What do you guys think for power now? (Cam king says 630-650 @ 7000 with S.V. II and 950 carb) I wonder what would happen to the H.P. at 7500??? Any guesses... CamKing?? Chad??

Here's my math: 628 HP @ 3200 pounds = 136 MPH. 1320 divided by 136 = 9.70.

My best pass is a 10.26 at 127.9...almost 128...lol. If you do 1320/127.9 it comes up with 10.32 as an et. Just a question what is that telling me? My car 60ft's harder then most mid to low 10 sec cars but just levels off after about 1000ft. More camshaft perhaps?

It tells me your car leaves and is efficient in its utilization of power. That formula is a jumping off point, good cars run on the other side of the formula. My idea of a good leaving car:

11.20 1.42 60 foot
10.20 1.30 60 foot
9.20 1.24 60 foot
