Ford 9in with 486

Can I run quarter mile with 486 gears and 28in slicks with 350 turbo Trans

Depends on how fast your car is and what you can spin the engine to. What does it run in the 1/8 th? An example - if you expect to run low 12's (1/4 mi) you would have to spin your motor to 7000

What RPM do you leave at? What stall convertor do you have?

It's a 3500 stall and leave around 3000

I don't want to turn it 7000 because I just got a 150 shot of nos

If you have any data on the car (1/8 mi. time) or what you expect to run(1/4 mi.) I can tell you what you want to know.

I just seen on another post your car runs in the 13's, I'm going to say 13.25 - 3600lb w/driver which says your just north 300hp and going through the traps @ 102mph @ 5000 rpm depending on TC slippage. If you spray to 450 HP it will run 11.60's @117 just over 5500 w/ 3.73's. 4.86 gears would put you well over 7000 PPM. This is all w/ 28 in tall tires

That's my 85 that has the 408 that runs 13s I'm building a 78 now that has the Ford 9in in it with the 4.86 I have all the pics of it in the media section
