Default Need estimate of 1/4 mile times with my setup...

I am getting the car ready for the LTx shootout. Don't have time/money to build a new bottom end. So here is the plan = Car makes right now 377rwhp with a 6speed/12bolt. It's a hardtop LT4 1995 Formula.

I'm going to spray a 250 shot on it. So let's say rwhp should be in the 600-630 range. Let's figure around a 3600# raceweight.

Where do you guys think, round about, the car should be 1/4 mile wise?

With 380rwhp?
There are guys running high 12's here with 280-310 rwhp.

I'd say low 12's motor with good hook.

This car ran a 12.3 with cam only (~340rwhp) and on bald nittos. Looking to go with brand new Mickey Thompson ET Drag Radials.

I was thinking very high 11s on motor and possibly very low 11s on spray

Where and when?

With good weather and low elevation you should be high 11's on motor if you can hook.
