[Chevelle-list] First passes down the 1/4 mile

[Karl Groves]

John - 
 
What were the 60ft and 100ft times?
Can you scan your slips?
 
Those times aren't terrible - about average for a tank like a Chevelle with
a regular guy driving, though you could probably squeeze a good bit more out
of it.

I just got back from the drag strip where I made my first passes. The first
run was 15.107 @ 92.06mph. I then took a lot of stuff out of the trunk,
cleaning supply box, chair & toolbox. The second pass was 14.608 @ 93mph and
my final pass was 14.701 @ 92.57mph. I don't know if this is too shabby for
a 4200# car, with me in it, on pump gas and on street tires running a 3.31
rear gear and 27" tall tires. What do you guys and/or gals think? Is there
anyone on the list that has the software to figure an approximate HP using
these figures. I sure would, or maybe not, like to know without being able
to put it on a chassis dyno.
 

Thanks,

John L.
