I think you are pretty close, the only comparison i have is my friends 55Chevy with 4.1 toilet. It weighs 2650 lbs and it's 396" s/blk with 23 degree heads. he has larger tires 33X15X15, but a 4.86 gear, his 60' is a little better with 1.22 and it runs 5.62 @ 118, converted that would be 8.92 @ 146, he runs 34 degrees and 5500 converter. Twin Cities hasn't had a 1/4mi race since the car went back together,so i can't on 1/4 times.

Zip.
