yeah around 4.4 seconds for a 1320 foot run at ~320MPH
As for cops though, I'd like to see anything that could catch the top fuel car haha
Cruiser? no.
Chopper? not even close.
Persuit bikes? nope.
Now you might radio ahead and be fast enough to throw out a spike strip, but seriously, how often do you ever see a sub ten minute response from cops? haha
It just sounded amusing at the time. I doubt you could keep the car straight that long even if ya could keep it running for that amount of time at full speed without blowing up or melting down.

I've driven an alcohol powered 468 chevy big block '82 prostreet camaro on the highway.
it sorta sucks with 4.11 gears in it (maybe they were 4.56 I forget) but it's fun in town. You really don't want to drive any low-geared car on the highway if you can avoid it. Their tall gear is still fairly low, and winds the motor way up, which is bad on high torque, large displacement pushrod motors that are made for low RPM power ranges with a redline usually around 5500rpm, and a powerband peak around 4000rpm
The only way I get away with the 4.11 rear end I have is because I have an overdrive unit that splits all 3 gears in my transmission so I end up with a 3.20 rear end on the highway in OD.

not to get too much off topic but to me the higher the gears for everyday driving the worse.. especially for highway.... 311's are good for everyday, but id probably stick with 373 gears.. but 456 or something would be rediculous....
anyway... a friend lent me a box for my 10"s so i may just enter the comp.... you should come though... 50/50 if ill be there.. but ill update..
