E.t. Estimates hey guys, I'm in the middle of a project, and need to know how fast my car is gonna be in order to build it up accordingly. It's a Big chevy with about 850 hp and tq. not sure about tranny, dana 60 rear with 4.10s and 325/50/15s in the back. This car will be the stock weight + the added weight of the big block/rear end/ tranny/ subframe connectors. Any help on estimated E.T. in 1/4 mile would be greatly appreciated. Thanks guys.

is this an f-body? if so i would imagine a lot more than 3800 lbs with driver. A fully built big block weighs a good 200+ lbs more than a ls1. then the rear will probably add 30 lbs, and the other necessities that make it reliable. But built right, it should still go 9's.

850 hooked up right from the start and geared to use the power effectively should run anywhere from 9.40's to 9.90s depending on a bunch of factors (trans and convertor of choice, or manual and such to go with that, suspension, hook, etc etc)
