Will I run in the 10's with my set-up????

check sig.
Full-weight
Slicks
Skinnies up front
3500 stall
consider 510 RWHP/510 RWTQ

Best guess. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

I was thinking an 11.00, till I saw your 200mph speedo mod. That has me thinking mid to low tens. <img border="0" alt="[jester]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_jest.gif" />

What gears? What does full weight mean? That can range from 3500-3800 pounds depending on options in the car.
Cheers,
Chris

Gears, 3.73. It's all in the sig.

I thought full-weight meant that your car has never gone through any weight reduction and is the same as when it was picked up at the dealer.
I don't really know my weight, but I have a factory stock car for that matter, nothing has ever been removed. Fully-loaded T/A.
I guess the only weight reduction would be the use of the skinnies, which I heard from people on this board, that using skinnies can get you .3 off your ET.

Good luck <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" /> and remember that was only a guesstimation ! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="gr_images/icons/tongue.gif" />

I would guess around 10.8-11.2
Are you locking the converter in third gear?

Short answer: You might. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

Long answer... you should certainly be in the ballpark... you might have a 3700 lb raceweight, so IMO it's 10.9-11.3 territory for you.

I ran a ten with less RWHP, less RWTQ, and a much tighter PY3400E converter. And did it at a 3560 raceweight. I think you will run 10s with no problem with that setup.

And if that tranny dies (or is it "when" <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="gr_images/icons/tongue.gif" /> ) I'll hook you up with a good one! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" /> I may actually race too... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" /> Just not sure with all the changes I'm doing.
EDIT: Oh, and I think you have a legitimate shot at 10's.

Re: Will I run in the 10's with my set-up????

are you kidding? assuming you get a good hook and stay with it, 10.9 should be easy. then again there is nothing easy about 10 seconds...ask john ryan <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="gr_images/icons/tongue.gif" /> i only have about 100 lbs out of my car and skinnys and welds, but added a rear and plan on running 10.9 with my mods stock heads and a 100 dry shot easily. as long as you can hook a 1.60 or better time, you will be there. with 500 RWHP through a convertor car, that is sick! i would be happy to push 380 RWHP on motor and 475 RWHP on a dry shot! good luck from a fellow FL guy! <img border="0" alt="[chug]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_chug.gif" />

kkep this in mind. The heavier the car, the more likely you are to break parts. It takes a lot to get a 3700lb car down the track. But I think A high 10 is in your future.
