My new 540 will be going in a '65 Nova tube chassis with ladder bars,Dana 60 w/4.56, tire 33x16.5, turbo 400, 2860lbs with me in it. The motor is Dart block, Brodix BB2x lightly ported and gasket matched, Brodix intake, cam specs 772 int 765 ex dur @ .050 285 int 296 ex with a Ken Jones 1050 Dom. Comp. is 12.8. What do you guys think it will run in the 1/4 ? I'm hoping 9.0s

.My camaro (3100lbs) with a 12 to 1 compression 511 ci ran mid 5.90's in 1/8.. which should be in the lower 9.60's in 1/4...
with my new 565ci if i do not run 5.60's in the 1/8 and 9.20 range in 1/4 i will be disapointed. This is what i typed in another post.....i got a little more motor than you but your about 250lbs lighter then me......... so this where i have been and where i think i will go..it will give you a good gauge.. the 9.0's your hoping for may be a little Quick... but i hope you get 8.90's out of her ! |
You for sure can get there if you spray it.

what MPH you running..also what is your 60 and 330 ? Many oldtimers will tell you time and time again its not really how much motor you got (within reason) but how you lay it down... :D |
bjuice my mph is 135-136. My 60's are usually 1.37-1.38. My 330's are 4.00- 4.05
