Rear wheel or flywheel?

77-C3 & 89-C4

12.25 to 13.25. C3's suck power like crazy very poor drive tain. Hope I am wrong.

You going to Super Chevy? Hope you have a roll bar!

I'm assuming this is crank Hp? Dyno measured or desktop dyno? I don't know the rast of the combo, so there is lots of speculation here. Big block or small block? Open headers?

Any idea what it weighs?

Any suspension work?

That's enough Hp to run low 11's "maybe 10's" if everything is perfect or car is real light. The auto is going to help you get going for sure.

I'm guessing small block, at least 3350 lbs with driver, no skinny front tires, mild converter etc etc.

My guess is 12.30's@ 114-115. Cooler November weather and lots of track time could pull low 11's at 120 mph or so.

PS- What's it look like..I'll be looking for you!

small block stroked about 388CI 40 over dyno was done at the flywheel. 3500 stall

bhmyers

at what timeslot does super chevy start?

Maurice

Ok my official uneducated stab in the dark is......11.37 @122.3

Are you guys smoking crack? It's a 74 vette !! You know how SLOW those rubber bumper C3s are!! 15.5 @ 89.5 mph!!! :lol: :D

Good luck! but "first times" for a given combo seem to be more often than not disappointing while you figure out how to launch, shift etc... mid 11s? Hope you don't break anything! :) MJ

HRP is a really good track. But, C3's love to suck the power. You maybe putting 500+ at the crank, but you'll probably see 390-410 at the wheel. You'll probably pull a low-12 high 11. It's still pretty warm and humid here in Houston, so that's not going to help much. But the best of luck to you.

:cheers:

Ok wasn't going to post but here goes 526 at the crank I take it on an engine stand dyno ?

If that's the case you are looking at about 350HP at the rear wheels and after a trip to Smokem up and plugging in 3500 lbs I get 12.5s.

Your power #s are great, but with the auto trans, I figure no more than 400-420rwhp. In a typical C3 with good air/track condition, I'm guessing low-12s, high-11s at 117-118mph.

I'll be very interested to hear what you run. My #s are about the same, but I have a stick vs. an auto trans.

Are you running street tires, drag radials, slicks......

GrandSportC3

Norm (lotahp) has similar power and setup.. He ran approx. 11.86 @ 116 mph

So my guess would be 11.80's....

With Drag Radials - it also depends a lot on the track conditons.. If you hook - you should be easily in the 11's..

I'm hoping for 11.70's - 11.80's myself this winter (main Drag Racing season in Florida)... I don't have as much power (only around 465+HP at the crank and 370+ RWHP) but I reduced a lot of weight on my car.. I'm at least 200 - 400 lbs lighter than C3's in street setup
