Trust me, if I get in the 10's everybody is going to know it!!!!


I notice you're an automatic.... that will make it easier.

In moderate to good air, I don't think it will be a problem with sticky tires and a converter that flashes up to around 4000 rpm. (Might only be a converter rated at 3000-3600 rpm, but flashes up to around 4000 rpm on the first hit) Thats a lot of power... if you focus on getting your 60 ft down to the low 1.4 area, the 10 second slip will more than likely easily happen.

As a comparison note, Phil Tobins LT-1 (before it was a big block), he made similar HP to you at one stage. I believe he hit low 1.4 60's and 125-128 mph and a best et of 10.6x He did have a looser converter than you have.

Good luck !! Rather you get there or not, the fun is trying to get it.
