I know, I know, there are lots of horsepower and et calculators, but they vary.
Basically, I'm asking for people who have similar setups or have good guesses based on trips to the track and such.

I have an 89 with a 6 speed
383 stroker making about 390 rwhp
3.31 gears
stock GSC's
110 MPH after the quarter (G-Tech reading)
Little to no traction on that run, chirping tires going into 4th.

I just haven't made it to the track yet, I finally got it out about 2 months ago after a long waiting period for the thing to get fixed. (My brother made it throw a rod and crack the block)

I am just curious to see a time I can shoot for when i go to the track next year. Am I missing a lot of information for you guys to make a guess?
