Default 1/4 expectations?

What do you think I will run in the 1/4 with 400rwhp, drag radials, upgraded drivetrain (shifter, clutch, flywheel) and a 3.73 rear-end ratio?

Totally!!!
I'm at approx. 370RWHP & I've gotten 119.30mph, so I'd expect 121-123mph though...

What about if your in SoCal. I go to LACR in Palmdale and the track there sucks and the elevation is high! I know it can make a significant difference. Has anybody on the boards run there car there and if so what numbers did you run with the mods you got?

Thanks

Low 11's are possible in good weather and good driver!

hahaa... I like the 12.6 Al. Yea, I guess alot depends on where the track is, what da is, what track prep is like, and how well you can drive. DR's is also vague... Are they ET Streets, BFG, or Nittos. ET Streets are probably good for .2 on your 60ft. On BFG's with a similar setup, except stock gears and clutch with a 1500 da I went 12.0 in mine. I would expect you should be somewhere in the mid 11's.
