Just to give you a rough idea.  I have a 73 Dodge Charger with a 440, 727tf, 410 suregrip and 28 inch tall drag slicks.  With me in it and roughly 8 gallons of gas, it weighs in at around 3865.  I am making roughly 500 hp and my best run ever is a 12.35 at 111mph.

That comes out to about 410 to 420net actual hp. Cannot really estimate the corrected gross hp (i.e. typical engine dyno reported hp) without weather data for the day that you ran the can.  If the DA was say 2000, I would guess that it would be a 460 to 470 corrected gross hp.  If the DA was higher, the gross hp would be higher.  If you know the date and track, the DA might be available.  Despite what some might say......those are very very good numbers for a street car.  Congrats.   :2thumbs:  Tell us about you're build

Hi there.  Yeah I am not sure of the actual hp now.  I did have it on a chassis dyno and it pulled 366hp and 406 torque but, that was before I installed aluminum heads, MSD ignition and I also went from a 750 vacuum secondary holley to an 850 double pumper.  I have picked up between 3/4 to 1 full second at the track since those upgrades.  I used this hp calculator:  http://www.gordon-glasgow.org/hpcalc.html
Try this one.  The mph calculators are more accurate as et is also a function of suspension  http://www.wallaceracing.com/hpcalculatorquarter.php

500" NA, Eddy head, pump gas, exhaust manifold with 2 1/2 exhaust with tailpipes
4150 lbs with driver, 3.23 gear, stock converter
11.68 @ 120.2 mph

right guys,sat down and thought about this long and hard,going to put my beautifully rebuilt beloved 440 into this if i can cut a deal with the owner. :D now i know it is a fjord but is my second favorite car of all time and have had a few of these when the prices were resonable they are very light and strong and will give me something to do over the winter months :coolgleamA:did not really like the idea of hammering my charger down the track :eek2:
what are your thoughts on this guys :2thumbs: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/150678873412?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649
