How fast will it be? 665 fwhp street/strip car. Sorry if this is the wrong forum...where's the bench racer forum at?
Big changes this year, namely a 665 fwhp stroker was installed. It's backed by a Compushift controlled 4L80 with a T-brake and a Yank SS4000. It has a 9" Ford rear with 3.70 gears and MT ET 255/50R16 drag radials.
I haven't weighed it, but it's probably a little lighter than the average street car. The car is a stripper model, all it had for options was a rear defroster lol. AC, ABS, AIR, and the rear seats and seat belts have been removed.
I figure it should be good for mid to low 10s. Maybe with the t-brake, front anti-sway removed, skinnies up front, and better rear tires it might come close to a high 9 ???
What do you guys think? Am I dreaming? All I know is it's sure going to be a long Winter....

I would say mid 10's only because of the transmission. If you had a th350 with an 8" converter you'd be in the 9's depending on weight.
You can forget about the tbrake with those tires, I can tell you that right now.

I cut a 1.30 60ft. with the Hoosier QTP DR. 335/35/17 on foot brake. The tranny is a 4L80 FMVB. but with a 4800 lockup Circle-D converter, To me, with the short gear and stall that you have and weight of the car, you may bog a little off the line. A taller gear or bigger stall will help alot.
