what is the specific hp and tq on your entire rpm range? look into desk top drag and desk top dyno if you enter all the info into both correctly it will give a very good est.

If you have ladder bars you won't need a torque arm.I would also guess a low 11 second time.Don't forget a good converter for that combo.

...What I mean is, I don't get it.

With 500hp, you should be in the 12's AT LEAST! That is with the right traction and the right driver.
