I assume it was spinning the tires pretty bad as the 60ft is pretty low. Fix the traction and it should go much faster. Google says your 182KM/H is 113MPH which could get you into the low 12s high 11s pretty easy.

I would say it runs pretty good....what is the weight? As posted already, it has somewhere in the neighborhood of 11.8 to 12.1 in it if the 60' is improved.

Guys that are calling for 11.7's or "easy 11's" are looking at this like a race car. For a real world stock chassis & suspension 3800 lb. street car with 3.23's..... 12.25 is a respectable effort @ 113 mph.
If it has true street tires, 3.23s, B Body with stockish suspension and converter, 1.85s is about where you'll end up on the 60 ft.
Without more info on car race weight, heads, cam, CR, exhaust, and atmospheric conditions, it if not possible to evaluate if it is making good power or not.
IMO, generally speaking, if a car in its daily driver street trim, 3.23s and stock suspension runs low 12s, it is respectable.

And he mentions what it is WHERE in the first post. Has a time slip with a statement for comments.
496, roller cam... 113mph? I'd think there should be more in it. Unless it was at some crazy altitude or hampered by cylinder heads. Takes maybe 400hp at the wheels to get there. A good converter would likely help a ton and not sacrafice street driving manners.
Plenty of "Street" cars run solid 60's. Finding it takes time and dedication most aren't willing to do.
It's a nice looking car that runs well.

actually 113mph in a 3850+lb B-body would require about 430 RWHP which equals about 510 or so at the crank? Not to bad depending on build. Or maybe he was taking it easy like I did. I managed 11.93 @ 114 w/ a slow 1.74 60 foot. He probably has more in it..especailly if he can get his 60 foot down. But I have a stock stroke 440.
