Howdy neighbor!
No problem.
Stock street suspension, or race. Springs and slicks are bolt-ons right?
The Dc manual says 12.4s require a Power to Weight ratio of .100 with race suspension. Street suspension may be up to a half second slower, due to the 60ft challenge, and the 3.21s.
So back to the .100 p/w
How heavy is that car? let's say you get it down to 3500 race weight. Well then; 3500 x .100 =350horsepower. The Dc folks work off crank power so, 350 is the target. Lessee 360 cubes,350 hp, that's .97 hp per cube. Ok maybe that's a lil tuff with bolt ons.
Since these engines seem to be 245 hp factory rated, we need 105 more hp, to just sneak into the 12s with street suspension. So I think we better bolt in some springs, gears and slicks. That reduces our p/w requirement to about .086, to just sneak in there.
Ok then 3500 x .086 =301hp; now yer talking.
This is doable with just a few other changes
This combo wants to hit a hair over a hunert so 4.30s are the go to gear. They will get you 102 at 5500 with 88s(28 inch tires) and 5% slip.
The 5500 trap points to a power peak of about 5100, and that points to 340 cam. Go get'em!
Arm-chair at it's finest, just suck it out of a book.
