I would think you should get there. What kind of rear tires? Good Luck, will it hit the track this year? Let us know.
 
Depending on how it's all put together and tuned, anything from 10.5 to 17. If all is done right I will go out on a limb and say 10.90

hello and thanks for the reply. if i get this thing into the 10's i will be as happy as a virgin on prom night.
 
i dont have the engine in it and im waiting for the trany to get rebuilt.the car looks like boxers dart. but mine has a black front clip and a dodge banner on the back quarter panels.i did not paint this car i bought it like this.
 
Hey Dave, do you have frame connectors? I am just getting mine back together, and had my rear housing shortened 1.5 inches and ordered 8in. rims with 4.75in back space and tested a Mickey ET drag radial 275/50/15 and it was a bit tight. I also put a RMS tri 4 link in it and was able to adjust the side to side clearance to equalize the spacing, and still to tight. The original housing seamed to be strong to the passenger side, I was told this was common. Anyway, I ordered a set of Micky 255/60/15 and I know they will fit no problem, awaiting back order on them.
 
I answered on Joe's board.. I will say mid 11s for the reasons mentioned.
