So if thats true you will be in the low 11s. It really depends how well you hook up. speaking of "depenz"..lol..you might need some!

I'ld say either side of 12.00 depending on traction. Hook good and you can get into the high 11s, more spin means low to mid 12s. Good luck! Master, again and still

It was fun while it lasted. I dont think i can get in the 11's though 1970 AAR CUDA 1970 Super Bee 383 Auto 1969 Super Bee 383 4Spd 1968 Satellite 500 Stroker 1986 Shelby GLHS 1970 Coronet 500 383 Auto 1996 Indy Pace Truck 1998 Dakota R/T 408 Stroker

What was the 60' time.... also you wouldnt need 100 octane with 9.2 compression... it would most likely slow you down due to the slower flame front
