If you've never drove a car like that I'd say your in for one hell of a ride!
 
500-550 HP & Depending on your suspension, 11.80-12.00 just my opinion. how many times have you been down the track also play's a bigger role in ET times, Good luck fun times ahead.

If this is accurate it's very similar to my car which makes ballpark 500 at the crank (I only know what it makes at the wheels) and runs 11.70's in the quarter. That goes 7.40's in the 1/8th

Im getting the engine tested and tuned at the flywheel, what does the calculator says about hp on my combo? Is wallace calculator hp at the flywheel?

That's a good question, I've often wondered the same, but comparing it to my build I would say Yes, its flywheel comparison?

Should run 10.50’s easy enough. 6.60’s in 1/8
Obviously more convertor would help, and not sure exactly what cam you have

That would be perferct, yes im also woried about the converter, but will make some runs in it if it goes 6,70 im happy with it, the class im going in is 6,70 Et. Here is my cam:

I don't think 6.70's will be a problem with what you listed, more converter will help. I went high 6.50's with less cam, 10.9-1, ported Edelbrocks, 727 with a 9.5" converter that flashed 5000, 4.10 gears and a 325 (28" tall) radial at 3260 pounds. If the heads are decent you could go faster than .50's.
 
ET is ALL chassis/converter!!!

What takes one person to go a certain ET, might take another 50-70HP less... Get the car to 60' like crazy and the ET will follow.

Spot on. Those numbers are right on what my 408 ran with Indy heads, 11.25:1 and 8 " 5400 stall. 3300# race weight. Rest of motor was much like yours. 10.38@130 was my best pass ever. 6.66@103 was best 1/8. Should be fun.

Long story short. I freshened it with 13.5:1 compression and max ported the heads. It came apart in a big way on the dyno. Had a oiling problem I never figured out. I now have a 511 with E MW heads.

I don't know how much your car weighs but my old full weight 70 Challenger street car ran 11.83 at 113 with around 450-475 hp with 440 ported stock heads, hyd cam.
