Granted, experienced driver, drag specific set up, gearing, tuned.......but a reference point. The R & T 1/4 mile test had the 458 @ 10.85

" Of further interest is CSX3198, which was the only Dragonsnake buit with a 505 hp, 427-cid engine. This car was sold to Haar Motor Company in Worcester, MA, for NHRA competition. At the 1966 NHRA Winternationals in Pomona, it set the A/SP national records at 10.86 seconds and 127 mph results."
