Thats its p/w potential, the fact that it has 2.76 gears and probably a stock verter and therefore wouldn't launch worth a damn....it probably wouldn't run anywhere near that. But, if you put in 3.91 gears with 26" tyres that hooked, and upgrade the converter, if that motor made its 260hp at 5000rpm it could run a 13.72 shifting and trapping in the power band in top gear....yes its possible. The chassis is as important as the hp for a car to ET, as is the gearing/tyre to keep the car in the power band, thats what the calc helps you with and is exactly how I just used it.
I will give you another real world example close to that, and that was my all steel full interior street/strip '71 Cuda 340. 3600lbs, 3.55 gears 8x26" slicks, stock 2.02 heads, Hdrs., DC..484 hyd. purple, 750DP 3500 stall verter. Wallace has it at 300hp for this run>
60 Foot E.T. : 1.85
1/8 Mile E.T. : 8.41
1/8 Mile Trap Speed : 80.80
1/4 Mile E.T. : 13.33
1/4 Mile Trap Speed : 100
