The Fairlane heads to the dragstrip on Friday...
 

Friday I'm running the Fairlane down the 1320 for the first time.. what do you think she will do? Weather shouldn't be too hot.

Here are the specs.. closest guess wins some sort of cheap prize.. lol

1970 Ford Fairlane
408 Stroker (448 rwhp & 404 rwtq)
C4 trans
2800 stall
Strange 9" rear with posi and 3.70 gears
Weight of car 3460 (without driver)
Will run on rear MT ET Streets and front skinnies

Any data I'm missing?

Take your best guess :)

here we go
 

steve

ill take the first blind dart throw..at et and mph :lol:
12.21 @114....dont ask me why ....just a s.w.a.g.

good luck.....

radrambler

11.78 @ 121 mph

(EDITED, MY MATH WAS OFF)

12.0 at 114

You just couldn't give me 11.99 could ya??!??! :rofl:

Im going to say 12.1 at 116. I think once you can get that thing rolling it should do some mph.

Who is the pilot?
12.9 @112

I reckon you'll crack a 10, 10.90 @ 125mph. You've got the power, just gotta hook it up. Good luck.

12.8 @ 114

oooohhhh, I just calc'd my guess assuming driver is 200lbs and 17% loss thru drivetrain. I added a half second for the bad tires.... voila 11.76 @ 122mph. :thumbsup: so I am with you.

If we win, I want my half of the nothing prize hahah :unibrow:

edit - er wait, I just reread and saw the ET streets, so maybe a little better hook... 11.56 @ 122mph.
