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

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

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.

so I am with you.

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

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

11.98 @ 113

With a good driver 12.40 @ 112
With Steve driving 14:80 @ 99.9

I figure a few mis shifts and cuss words when Steve makes his passes.
