Are you asking me? Best 1/8 in my Plymouth, 7.07. Typically 7.20s at 95 and change. My self imposed redline is 6500, it will easily rev higher. I used to shift at 62-6300, I found it was just as quick shifted at 5900. That is a function of flow-limited heads.What are your 1/8 mile times and red line?
Pretty damn good! For comparison.. my 64 dodge 383, runs about those ets at 106 mph .First time down the 1/4 mile with The Beast
Loads of fun but, man, do I need some practice!!

I'm in the left lane
Had another run with a trap speed of 119MPH so I think 11's are achievable

so you're saying I should go with a bias slick like a M/T ET drag slick?119 mph?!? Mid ELEVENS are definitely reachable, you've got mid elevens hp now!
You need to work on the leave with the fourspeed. You are giving up over a half second in 60 feet.
(If you don't mind a suggestion, I'd ditch the drag radials for some real slicks, if you plan on more trips to the strip. Drag radials and stickshifts don't play well together. DR'S like to dead hook, don't recover well from wheel spin, slicks can work quite well with a bit of wheelspin that your gonna get from a manual trans)
Looks the bias size would be a 28 inch tall tire. Maybe 28x10.5so you're saying I should go with a bias slick like a M/T ET drag slick?
Second question, if I'm currently running a 295/55-15 drag radial, what would be the equivalent bias size?
Yes, I would run a bias drag slick, if you are serious about getting the most out of your car at the strip. I would ask mickey or Hoosier if they would recommend a stiff sidewall or not, depending on the weight of your car. Be aware, the more traction you have, the more likely you will find the weak point in your drivetrain.so you're saying I should go with a bias slick like a M/T ET drag slick?
