ORIGINAL: Megashifter

I have no idea.... the engine is still a-buildin'! It was 3805 lbs with a half tank of gas with me in it (180) on Cecil County Dragway's scales. There's been others who've run low 12's NA with similar set-ups. A frind of mine had a whiiz-wheel at MIR... 'n he figured 273 RWHP 3 years ago. Been a lot of changes since then tho.... not counting the present effort.

OK. 3805# and an ET of 12.99 would need 344 RWHP or roughly 410 FWHP. Sorry dude, I'm just a fool for these calculators. What all do you have done to your RT?

Nice RT, oops sorry R/T, LOL, sounds like it will be quick after the shop gets done with it, maybe you can have them list what they've done to it so we know.
I thought Englishtown was a pretty quick track (Old Bridge township raceway?)

Not in factory form anyway. However its simple enough to remove the 301 or 400 and build up a 455 which will drop right in place.

I'm with Badstrat!
Hahahahahahahahahahahahaahahahahahahahahahahahahah aha
Burt Reynolds would still be in Jail right now if Smokey had Badstrat's smallblock Mirada.

Trans-Am! My poor buddie at the track has been begging me to port his heads, he has a 1978 model, an 11.5:1 455 bored .030, 4.11 gears 3000 stall converter, it runs an astounding 13.48!
I always tell him to forget the junk heads and by some Edelbrocks.
Pontiac guys should get on their knees and thank God for Edelbrock heads.

The 1973 Firebirds with the 455 SD (Super Duty) were capable of running in the mid 13's in factory form as noted by numerous publications of the day.

This was with a engine rated conservatively at 275hp and fairly small tires. Bias ply?

There a heavy car, but they have potential
