When I raced my '71 with the 427 pushing over 450 HP it ran high 11 sec. times at around 120-125 in the 1/4. It weighed in at around 3600 lbs. and I was running closed exhausts.

Wow that's pretty high through the traps Vall. What gears were you running?

I think I was running 3:56 back then. Might have been the 3:42's I have now though. That was way back in the early 80's. Long time to try and remember!
