1/4 mile calculator. Those are really accurate.

Until they can factor in gear ratios, traction, aerodynamics, altitude, humidity, and temperature they are about as useful as an electric supercharger.

Keith Black Pistons and Rods
3:73 gears
B303 cam
1.7 Roller Rockers
MAC shorty headers
MAC o/r h pipe
b&m built c-6 tranny w/ shift kit

how much rwhp and ft-lbs tq. i should have?
what should i run in the 1/8? 1/4?
I would say in the 230-240 range to the wheels because of your cam and rocker combo you will make a lil extra hp.Remember max hp to wheel hp should only be a 17 percent decrease.
