Did/are you taking it to the dyno ?
No. They haven't set it up yet and I'm getting impatient. Let's just assume 500 fwhp and call it good

If geared correctly weight and trap speed will tell you all you need to know.
Track mph will give you a good idea
OK, If you say soIf geared correctly weight and trap speed will tell you all you need to know.
And why not? ET can vary greatly no matter what HP you make. Weight and horsepower does not lie.OK, If you say so![]()
Lol, I'm fuckin with yaAnd why not? ET can vary greatly no matter what HP you make. Weight and horsepower does not lie.
Wallace Racing Calculator is usually pretty close. It works better for 1/2 track than the full track for my car. I go 112 in the 1/8 and 146 in the 1/4. But it gives me two different HP #'s and I feel the 1/8 is closer to reality for me.Lol, I'm fuckin with ya![]()
@89 Fox 427 I was having trouble sleeping so I just re-read all 50 pages and 997 posts in your build thread.
How you holding up?![]()
Lol.If you really want to jerk off your blood pressure check the 427w build thread too
@BOSS#1540 I don't expect to be able to use the track as a reliable guide at first. Mainly because I'm going to launch like grandma so i don't break anything. Radials and a stick will be a joyful experience. Suspension tuning should be a whole other can of worms for me where this forum will surely be happy to spend my money for me
Sounds like a Super Stocker, good ET for the MPH.If you use tim halsteads dyno numbers, mph, et and weight on wallace it comes out dead nuts, lol
He made 774hp with his A3 headed Cleveland with an air supremacy intake and 769hp with the ford A331 intake which is what he had on at the track. His cougar is 3200 iirc and ran 9.3x at 143/4 mph
I thought I remembered some posts where your Uncles from OH and PA had to drive up and make you cry. And a video of that thing driving out of the barn just before glitter city happened. Did I skip a page?If you really want to jerk off your blood pressure check the 427w build thread too
All lines up with wallace dead on. I could be wrong on mph but I'm pretty sure he ran 9.36 at 143 1st run off the trailer. It's a ford c4 auto alsoSounds like a Super Stocker, good ET for the MPH.

Ok. I saw a few posts by Mitch but I thought I remembered some more detailed stuff. Stuff that made your eyes leak. Sort of like if I would have clicked the like hate or love emoji on all 997 posts so when you woke up your head would be like I hate him I'm gonna cry.It gets confusing around here...
But that was in this thread, and a few other ones.. but that was the old 398w with different parts. That's on a shelf collecting rust

You're welcome for my restraint.
