First I'll throw out a guess just for fun, and I'll just say 10.84 for no particular reason  It just seems to make sense right now.... Second I'd like to know what the secret is to getting a car weighed at Milan? After about 10 times of "the scales are broken" and "there's nobody there to do it" I gave up asking...

With your overall gearing the best that you can run is about a 10.60 to 10.80 @ 7300 to 7500+ RPM
WHAT? How much convertor slip does he have 50%? Have gone way faster then that with the same gear and smaller tires and turned that rpm.
Of Course, its a heavy car
No I used a conservitive 5% and 8% calc for vert slip. With a base MPH of 126, for a best ET of around 10.6 since its a heavy car.
MPH x gear x 336/ tire diameter + X vert slip.
I think the OPs car has 10.5 potential  But that 4.86 gear and 29.5 tire will limit its ET potential by RPM
Id say 10.9,s are in the bag with the New combo for starters.

I dont know about the 70 but my 71 weighs 3845 without me in it
my old 67 coronet weighed 3850 w/ me and 1/2 tank of gas. (I'm about 185) I'm sure his GTX w/ dana and a heavier driver could be close to 3900.

At Race weight my old 67 Coronet R/T with dana 60 & Big block topped the scales at a tad over 2800 lbs.And another 230 lbs or so for me.  There was not much more than a hull with a cage left,in other words I ruined a extra nice 67 R/T.  I won 2 Track Championships with it & it also was a Killer Grudge Race car. I won enough $$$ with it to have my 1st dragster built.
