I don't know where you are but the weather for us has been slow this year. Comparing log books from last year same dates to this year et's are slower as the weather has been hot and humid.

What Motor do you have?
330 hp Vortec head in my car. Powerglide 2.10 low gear, 5.38 rear and a 94 inch circumference rear tire and you should make the 1/4 mile finish line.

Yes 330 hp car, i will check tire size i cant remember off hand,i'm not looking to brake records but think car should run 6.85 on a good day ? How fast are these cars going with 385 hp motors ? I am new to this crate motor stuff thanks

Yes, .85 is respectable in the 1/8. But , its all relative, depending on class. 3rd Gens with a 330hp generally run F G or H. In H 6.85 is fast, in F, not as much. How much does the car weigh?
