well I was thinking of a 355 with a 15 to 25 pound flywheel
a 277 low gear 5 speed road race trans, 456 rear gears with 31 inch
tires. How quick do you think it would be with 400/425 hp at
the flywheel and the 2500 pound weight.

depends on what type of horsey's you're using. quarter horseys will give your neck jarring off the line acceleration. thoroughbreds will give you great top end performance. so, there ya go.
