All right so if I have a "SBC" making 900hp NA at the fly wheel in a car weighing 3060#'s with the driver. What kind of ET's should I expect in the 1/8? Roughly.

Here is what my set up is......Motor and car wise.

1965 Nova wagon
PG tranny with a 8 1/2 converter(stall probably in the 5800+range)with a T-brake Pro tree
Rear tire's are 32x14's Good Year's

Ford 9" with 4.88 gear's and a spool. Gear's might change if needed
Ladder bar's.

High 5's to Low 6.'s
I'm making 875hp at the flywheel, 688rwhp and I run 6.03 to 6.05 with 4.56/31" tire at 2975lb

I would love to calibrate it with one of my old time slip's but....................My old time slip's were with my old motor combo. And I was running a 427sbc that made 630hp at the fly wheel. And my best was a 6.39 at 108mph. But I will take a look at the web site any way. Thank's for the info

Thr Calculator I use for 1/8thto1/4 mile conversion says it takes 720flywheel hp to run 9.36/6.00's so you either have more hp than you think or your chassis dyno operator didnt know what he was doing.
