Hey guys, wondering what you guys will guess my car will run in a quarter/eigth mile?

Car is 2900 lbs, 29x12.5x15 rear tire, 29x4.5x15 fronts, 408 stroker 500horse/525 lbs of torque, 727 full manual reverse pattern with 3000 stall, 8 3/4 with 4.10 gears. No power anything. What do you guys think?
 
Et is totally chassis dependent.

MPH, if it doesn't run 125+ it's missing something.
 
Suspension setup?:Garbling marbles uselessly,without this(brand of tire,kinda helps too..).

Its enough horsepower to run mid to high 10s in the 1/4, depending on how well the chassis is set up.
 
Running coil overs in the rear, stock front suspension, mickey thompson slicks at the track
 
what has it run?

3000 stall nice for the street...not good for track...

500 hp? dyno?
 
According to the Wallace Racing calculator you should run 10.50's with 500 hp at 2900 lbs.
 
Things built bullet proof. Not going to cage it. It's a real LM23P9B swinger. Everything built beyond belief but no major body modification

^^ This ^^ Most of the haters are one of two types, 1 they've never had anything that ran real hard or 2 they don't know to tune one to make it drivable.

I'm going to say it'll run 6.60-.7s in the 1/8. I drove my Dart a bunch and it ran 6.70 in street trim. It never failed to start, wasn't a problem in traffic, no overheating, nothing, just jump in, hit the key and go.

My new build has a solid roller that has well over .700" lift and will have the pi$$ (street) driven out it regularly.
 
I say 11.0's..that's of coarse with at least a 6-point bar..anything under 11.50 you should be getting kick off the track....

#1 HAVE FUN ! !!
Ain't nobody hate-in. If he actually has a 11.5 or less pass without a roll bar the FUN will be over.
if he goes out for his first time with hopes of getting a 10.5 it's very likely it will take away from the fun.
as far as a daily driver it seems to valuable to drive to work every day and leave out in the Walmart parking lot ? My stroker a- body is very fun to drive on the street, (and it's not 500hp) but every day everywhere? Aaaa NO!!
I can't remember what car the op has ? Sounds sweet, pictures??
 
Mid to high 11's. Low to Mid 7's in the 1/8th

I have a very similar combo and that's what I run.
