With that sort of power you'll be in the 11s.

I don't think at my current weight I will, however it is easy to shed a few hundred pounds and that may make the difference I need. Well, that and some good cold weather.

3880 with me in it full load. Weight reduction would include removing the seat (75 lb) the rear bench and seat (40 ish), Exhaust (60lb) Battery to lightweigh battery (26lb), spare tire and trunk crap (40ish) some other small odds and ends. Nothing that will reduce driveability, safety or the ability to drive it on the street.

I dunno. I see an 11.9. The 300C SRT-8'* are runnig as low as 12.6 stock. Thats a 4200lb car with 425hp. You have 465hp and only weigh, (i'll round up) 3900lbs. I'll be modest and say you'll run a 12.2 with this setup.

I guess with your gearing, that run was in 3rd gear not 2nd, based on the mph range.

Well it'* good to know my guess of 365 was close.
Great dyno numbers. That WS6 T/A didn't stand a chance. They only have stock 295 rwhp.

Yea, third gear pulls for the last few. 2nd was going by to quick and if you notice on the graphs the wavey lines are the suspension absorbing the load. The car would buck so hard that it would bounce on the front dyno drums. Because of the 3.69 gears we couldn't floor it until about 4100 and 6000 comes real quick in 2nd gear so the car didnt have enough time to settle down and put the power down on the drums. I'll post videos in a few minutes and you can see what i'm talking about.
