Default how fast?

just curious about my time. 67 coupe with a street 540. 336 rear, turbo 400, 3000 stall, my last run in the 1/8 before I broke was a 6.85 with the track at 5500' and poor air. is this about a 6.50 at sea level? Really don't want to add a cage. Oh ya, it was a 1:58 60' with no trans brake.

Yes, I think that could easily be in the 6.50s at 0 DA, maybe even 6.40s if you can still hook it in the better air that is.

At 6.85 equates to 10's in the 1/4...you will need a 5 point bar for sure...I don't know if that's what you mean by cage...

thanks, I do have a 5 point bar, but not a cage, and I am legal down to 6.40 in the 1/8 thanks for the help.
