Car in sig is kinda close. Not low 11's, but mph suggests it has potential. I think it is reasonable to think my car with a 2400 rpm converter, headers, and a 200 lb. car diet would put it in the low 11's.
The car's 60 ft is 1.90 sec, and the converter won't stall past 1800/1900 rpm. you dont need headers or a diet........put a converter in it low 11s no prob with 120mph.i bet it would be in the 10s with all the above.what cam u running? Thanks. You are probably correct, I just didn't want to sound too presumptuous. I agree as you have the power for 11.0's at 120 mph. Conveter and some chassis tuning and you could be in the very low 11's. Ron

I just found this thread, and it gives me hope! Thinking about taking my Duster to the track this year with 3.23 gears, 28" drag radial, and 9.5" converter.
Do any of you know your trap rpm?

S A little update. My car ran an 11.30 @ 119.8mph this weekend.
The mph says I have an 11.0 waiting on me if it ever hooks well!
Whittled down to an 11.1 @ 121 mph end of last season. Trying to resolve rear suspension issues.

2.94's would be sweet on the highway. I don't care for my 3.23's on the highway but most guys wouldn't mind it at all. I had 3.55's and hated them but they'd be better on the strip.
Go for the better Heads so you have room to grow. My motor is a pump gas 500" with CNC max wedge Edelbrock's. It has a small cam and small headers, seems to have alot of torque so I'm hoping to hit high 10s or low 11s driving to and from the track.

Not low 11's but 11.50 @ 116 66 Belv. 493, -516 iron heads, .530 cam, 9.5" converter, 3.55's and a 28" tall tire. I have a plate on it but have yet to open the bottle up. The converter is probably a bit loose, but I expect high 10's with a relatively small shot.
I ended up hitting the Belvedere with a 0.051 N2O jet. It ran a string of 10.95-10.98 once I got the timing where I wanted it, before I got a talking to for no roll bar It had a 10.8x in it, but the track was going away and they shut it down before I could get the launch sorted Car is 3700# at the line. I basically use it as a daily driver during the 2 month MI summer...

Did you change spark plugs to a different heat range?

I have been 10.91 with 3.54 gears but my 5-speed has a 3.37 low gear so that makes for a nice mechanical advantage. I will be interested to see how the car reacts with a 4.10 gear and a 2.66 low gear in a stock HEMI box. Last time out I was driving through the clutch which was indicated by the 126 MPH. with an 11.09 ET. Someday I will get my clutch tuned but I don't spend enough time at the track to get it dialed in on kill. Gus

Last year I blew the 4.30s I had in my car and put 3.23s I had laying around and my 60ft was still the same 1.50 and the et was still the same, usually 6.9 to 7.2s. That's in an 72 dart with a 499 with a 3,200 stall. I did put shorter tires on 275/50 15 in place of the 295/65 15s. I was shocked to find out it ran exactly the same. It seems with the torque alot of the strokers have they run fast with not as much gear. And the shorter tires is like putting a high number gear in so that may have also helped keep the et about the same. Ron
