Time for a manual steering box out of an S10
What a terrible timeslip! Reaction time, 60 foot, 1/4 mile ET and MPH. That's it? Tuning a car using 1/8 mile and 1000 foot times really helps. You need to know what the car is doing at different stages down the track.

To move 3650 pounds 11.378@120.31 mph, the engine is producing just under 500 HP. 489 from ET, 496 from MPH. Close enough to say the MPH matches the ET.
