That sounds like a ton of potential to get solid in the 12's with the engine, and maybe 11's with the bottle.

With any application however, if it is not tuned and matched, it might not break the 13's.

In the same respect, getting traction is always half the battle. That kind of combo is going to light them up pretty easy on the take off, and when it goes into second gear.

I had a 383 stroker in my 85. On one set of tires it would run low 13's all day long. On my street tires with 17" cool looking rims, it was all I could do to break a 14.5!!

So, I give up on really making any 1/4 mile predictions considering the HUGE variations in tires, driving ability, etc.

Good luck with that project, it sounds like a blast!
