Mike,

Thanks! That's the kind of analysis I need. 98.66 SHOULd equate to around 124 but (if the Aero .5 vs .65 is real and it's truly like 45 hp (or 500 extra pounds) maybe it's not really that far off. What areo factor is the wallace calculator based on? (I'm assuming a .5). I'm only going through the traps at just under 6000, I'm assuming about 11% slip. If it were an A body pure race combo I'd be using an 8" converter and be hitting 1.5's all day long. So a shorter tire will increase the wheelspeed inthe traps and use more "sweet spot"....so the combo is leaving some on the table but for 1/8th mile "fun brackets" (since it's showing signs of at least being consistent) it's almost perfect as is

The motor pulls hard, it feels like it's going downhill at the shift points but it does need that bigger lift cam...I'm probably leaving 30 on the table I'm sure....but I'm not really "missing it" like I would be if it was a Pure race car to me...it's funny.

If you look at the linear HP Drag curve just for accelerating from 100 to 120 at a .65 vs a .5....it's significant for 4 seconds. You also sense the drag as soon as you let off the power, it's like a Sail...I hardly need the brakes
