Larry,
You have more HP than the little Falkito Falcon, so I'll predict your trap speed will higher. With the big slicks his probably launches a little harder that yours will, but, again I predict...

I was actually suspecting that the car might be an Argentine Falcon. You'll notice the odd location for the front parking lights (in the grill), the odd-looking tail lights that it has, and the...

And here's a video of it being tuned:...

FOUND IT!...

I stumbled upon a video a while back of a 12-second Falcon. It was tubbed, and powered by a radical, but naturally aspirated, 200 six! It made a 1/4-mile pass in 12-something seconds at 98 mph. ...

Yeah! Using 26.5 for the tire diameter I get 2481 rpm also.
My calculations do not include tire growth, nor do I trust the tire diameter I came up with originally (25.1). There is a theoretical...

I am absolutely no good at arithmetic. I goofed again!!

This time I used .60 at the trans instead of .68!!

Should be 2620 rpm at the crank!

Yeah, I forgot the aspect ratio.
Tire diameter should be 25.1 inches.
937 rpm at the wheel;
2311 rpm at the crank.

I stand corrected... as usual.... :o

Okay... I ran the numbers.
From the best I can figure, based on the 235-60x14 tire size, the tire diameter should be about 32.5 inches. That computes to 102 inches per revolution (pi x...
