If you are really at 500 rwhp and 3800ish lbs, you should run about 10.4 @ 128 mph and low 1.4x 60'. Lot's of variables at play so I am assuming everything else is perfect.

The last motor i had was a procharger setup and it ran 7.0 @ 100 in the 1/8th, but never got to run the 1/4. It would pull consistant 1.55 60' times with just barely hazing the tires. (double adj. upper and lower control arms) so traction is covered.

o yea, and that was with 464 rwhp. Hp numbers on the new setup will hopefully be here next week.
