What should I run in the 1/4 mile?
383, 5 speed, 3.73 posi, TPIS Bigmouth, TPIS Runners, 52mm TB, ported plenum, Comp Cams 224/230 @.050 .565/.568 112 LSA, AFR 195cc heads, 11:1 compression, Hooker 2460 headers, flowmaster 3 inch catback.

 

Man,
That 383 has got to be putting out quite a bit of punch. What have you done with your 5 speed transmission in the way of strengthening it? If you can get traction I can see that getting destroyed.

I can see you getting this car deep into the 12s.
Did you ever run the 305 in your signature at the track? I am curios how that ran.

 

The 305 is still in the car right now. I never ran it at the track but it runs pretty good.

 

The car is getting a TKO 600 swap done and I will be putting on some dyno don headers in the future. Any other guesses on what it might do?

 

What it should run and what it does run are two different things. It should run bottom 12's, if not 11's. But I'd say 13's first time out. Need to hit the launch hard and shift nicely the entire run. Can the rear hold up? How's your shifting? Car's tuned? Track conditions? All play into it.

Sounds like a nice build.
