I know. I really want to find out what my 1/4 time. My fastest time for the 1/8 was 9.02 so with the help of some conversion tables it says I should be somewhere in the high 14's. I have no idea what my trap speed would be though.

Very nice kill!!! 9.02 is a very low 14 second pass somewhere in the high 90s (mph wise). With a 416 and good heads, cam and intake you should easily be in the 7s. Mine is a simple set up on stone stock suspension and has gone low 7s (see signature) in the 1/8 on drag radials.
1972 BS23 H code Cuda, B5 blue, 340 streched to 416 cu in, 727 w/ 8 3/4 rear, 7.23 in the 1/8 mile and 11.38@117mph in the 1/4 on drag radials   Under restoration! Coming soon... 440cuin R3 Indy SMALL BLOCK monster!!!!

Certainly, I agree. I have prior slips of mid 8 second 1/8 mile passes with my 318. Car has much more in it, stick cars certainly take more practice for the hole shot!

Nice kill. First turbo import I got was at the track as well. He wrote "v8 killer" in the dirt on his back window. Got him by a full second the first pass, the second pass was just as bad and he broke..."v8 killer" wasn't on there when i saw him later that night  :dunno:

There are certainly much faster turbo imports than my hoopty, just not my style. They'll never have the class or style a Classic Mopar has. :2thumbs:

Nice run, good thing you blew him away, if it was a close race you would have sucked him up through the exhaust pipe,
Rice got cooked. Love it
