Today im going to see if all my hard work and money is going to payoff, I dropped a 500 stroker in my 68 Satellite and going racing tonight to see how it goes, with my old 440 it ran a best of 13.22 102mph, nothing has changed but the new motor, anyone care to guess what i'll run, old 440 about 380 horses, new 500 suppose to be around 550. kinda nervous and excited at the same time



At that mph, you may not be making 550 HP, as trap speed is the indicator of horse power. You still could break into the 11s, imho.

In my experience a 9" tire was not enough, i would try to get a 10" tire under there and, also, be sure your convertor is right for that combo.
