    On a 3/8th track with a 355ci on alky with 525 HP we would pull a 6.28 - 6.48 most nights so my best guess would be some where around 6.13 - 6.21 to start. On a 1/2 mile with the same motor were at 6.03.

          What gear do you have in it now?
          what rpm are you turning with that gear(and is it hitting the rev limiter)?
          what rpm do you want to run?

          Some simple math should get you close.

            I'd say somewhere between a 6.30-6.45.
