What do you think it could run?

Who knows, but I would think it would 60' better than my truck, means he is a few hundred pounds lighter, has more converter, and more cubes. Gears are close, the truck cuts 1.8's. If the tune is right, and the builder of it all had some thought, it may get a 1.6 .... to be seen shortly we hope !
I’m only going off Wallace’s calculator and the charts in the book “How To Hook And Launch” while Definitely not absolutes, they (along with others I’m sure) give “ideal” numbers for 60’, 330’ and so forth. I use both to gauge how my setup does and I’ve got a stack of time slips that show my various times are where they should be according to those references. I’m now running consistent dead hooking 1.59-1.60 60’s and 11.45@114 (my Mph is slightly less than what Wallace shows ideally,D7BB73E4-BB1F-42A2-B702-0AEC874E70D6.png due to my aero handicap at the big end) What et/Mph are you expecting with the hoped for 1.6 60’?
