HP to 1/4 mile ???

[gearhed]

In the planning stages of a 69 dart 4 door build. Basically wondering how much hp are you guys making to run mid-high 11's?? I know every combo is different with regard to vehicle weight/gearing/traction etc.. I'm just looking for a ball park #. My planned combo 383/727 with 3.55/3.91 gears. This will be a small tire car (235/60 mt drag radial)...I was thinking aroud 475-500hp should do it.

Sounds good to me. Go for it!

At 3300# you will need 375 rear wheel hp if the suspension is working well.

Try these online calculators. They're somewhat accurate.

What elevation are you at and go with the 3.91 gears regardless.
