Default Times to expect

What kind of times could I expect with approx 500 RWHP at stock weight. After I bolt on the Ati Procharger I will get it dynoed and have exact numbers. I just want to start planning for safety equipment , i.e. rollbar, 5 point harness etc. in the event I actually run 11.49 or below. I will have MT Et Streets in 15inch rims with 4.11s. I just need an estimate plase and thank you

I would think that you should run very bottom 11's......if the car is setup the way a 500hp car should be to run down the track............the car should go 10's like previously stated. Max effort could go to mid 10's.

my formula with stock everything (suspension, rear end, wheels, ect.) other than a built T56 and a 505rwhp 402 went 11.20 at 126 on a nitto drag radial, so thats ***** footing it out of the whole and everything, if your car is set up right, there is no reason not to go into the 10s

That is relative to how far you want to go with the car....i.e desired e.t., driveability, etc.

I think you'll see bottom 11's @ 121 ish. Full weight is what's going to kill you. You might sqeak into the 10's with some good air.
