Default What are you looking for?

Detroit Bill, What are you looking for? The time you will run in the 1/4 mile? About 11.20's in the 118-126 mph. This depends on traction and getting out of the hole time. With out slicks a good 482 motor will smoke the tires if a 3,000 rpm clutch drop is done. You leaving at about 1,600 rpms will give you this time average. I don't know if you have a solid rearend or Jag rearend, but Jags don't like holeshots. If the rearend starts hopping get out of it. These cars average from 9.80's to 12.8. seconds and anywhere from 108 mph to 142.0 mph. Just be careful of the justa6 guy. The cars a sleeper. Rick L. Ps I have a 6 point cage and hate dragracing the car with a jag rearend was never designed for this. Smallblock car ok, BB car without a solid rearend, not good. I got through out of e-town for life for running under 12.5 with out a full cage and mine is 6 point and 3" over my helmet. It's all about safety. too many people have been hurt and even killed for this. I can count the number of cars damaged hitting the walls. A little side note on this, most insurance companies for car and your body are not covered if accident happens racing( any type, autocross, drag racing, road racing, street racing if ticketed) Becareful.
