So what does the average "race car" pic up with a 150 shot?
Lets say sbf 310 and a stick @2950 lbs?

I only have to run 1/8 mile, so far n/a it has been 6.5x @ 105 it should go a little faster n/a but I just do not have the time to work at it.
So if I hit it with 150 it should go 6.00?

Depends on the motor heads , cam etc... lots of things come into play but if the thing has a good cylinder head and the right convertor/gear I'd be willing to say you could make it run into the 5.9's on 150-175. You can get at them a crap ton more to the 1/8 vrs to the 1/4 with timing.
my 355 went from 11.06 ro a 9.87 on a 82/82.....~200ish hp maybe?
shavin .5 to the 1/8 is still a whole diff ball game then shaving .5 to the 1/4
Thanks guys, I am going to do some local (South Carolina) class racing in the PTRA and last years record was 6.11 @ 111. So if I spray my car I should be in the ballgame.

Another update went to the track with a small nitrous tune up. Made a couple suspension adjustments and played with the clutch a little and ran a 6.29 @ 110, the 60' is still way off from what I want/need. Made a big change and she went on the rear bumper, so I called it quits till I can get some double adjustable shocks. Not bad for the first time out.
