I remember the late Joe Sherman saying that with 3 speed automatics it usually improves ET's to short shift from first to second.  Then shift second to third at a higher rpm.  Just rambling...…

One more step in case paulie does not have 330'

8.376  660'

Is the Cougar still with me?

[plovett]

No  660', but 330' is 5.174 seconds.

[TimeWarpF100]

Pretty close!

1000 ft, 9.876

1/8 mile, 7.708 @ 99.19 mph

1/4 mile, 11.709 @ 123.36 mph.

My best run is 11.49 @ 124 mph, but I didn't see it on my GTECH.  I have a video of that run somewhere, though.

Anyway, my Cougar is likely 500 pounds lighter than your truck and I was using sticky tires.   It is stripped.  No carpet, no sun visors, no headlight doors, manual steering, manual brakes.  Battery in the trunk.  Aluminum heads, intake, water pump, etc.  Light forged aluminum 15" wheels.

It also idles poorly and get horrible mpg.

Times were with the GTECH on the street, with wheel spin, and good air.

The Cougar is light.  I haven't weighed it, but I think it weighs less than 3400 lbs.  Maybe 3300 or even less.

13.0 is fast for a 6 cylinder full size truck.

Not really buying the " My best run is 11.49 @ 124 mph" spinning tires on street.

The 13.0 run was leaving at a idle if I left with any RPM it would just spin.

That's okay.

So are you saying your 6 cylinder would just spin, but your 482 doesn't?

[plovett]

He also asked about wheel spin, from a dead stop I can get in it very hard and no wheel spin! That is a HUGE factor.

This is what I have been trying to figure out

3500 lbs with driver?

At 3500 lbs and 123 mph 1/4 it would need to be making 500 RWHP.

I think I am making about 550 flywheel hp now.   Not sure, but I did dyno the same engine with a much smaller cam and got 517 flywheel hp.  Like I said I don't know the weight, but it is light for a street car.
