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

Is'nt the old saying " a tenth for every 100 HP"? 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 thought the saying was once you get fast its $1000 a tenth after that!!!

Lots and lots of variables here, traction not the least of them. You say 550 hp in a 3,600 lb or so body. 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

Ok, well im up now(went to sleep at 4am) and the results were.....1st time down the track I ran a 2010 SRT Challenger, I was nervous and since it was the all new I didnt really get on it too hard it ran a 12.50 at 111.00, Never got a second run, car got hot waiting for some guy to figure out how to stage. anyways... i thinks there more in it, by the way I spanked the Challenger, my .018 light to his .086 light he went 12.58 at 108. It was fun while it lasted. I dont think i can get in the 11's though

Didnt feel like it spinned, 3.91 gears 9" Hoosier slick, I didnt check my timing, just went by sound, I ran 92 octane, motor has 9.1 compression, a friend that was out there said I should run atleast 100 octane he races a 68 Cuda in the 10's, I have heard different side of that.

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
