With a 365 cubic inch all-iron Chevrolet in my Lola T-70 Coupe, my 0 to 60 mph averaged about 3.2 seconds, with a best of 3.0.
0 to 100 average about 7.5 seconds, worst was 7.9, best was 6.9 seconds.
0 to 120 around 9.9 to 10.9
0 to 150, only one two-way run, 17.2 seconds into the wind, 15.7 with the wind.
Dyno sheet on the iron engine is 512 HP at 6700, 478 foot pounds @4500.
I am about 90% done with the installation of an all-aluminum 440 cubic inch Small-block Chev that dynoed at 672 HP@ 6900; 603 foot pounds @ 5000,; so with 160 more HP and about 90 pounds less weight, should be a nice improvement in the above figures!
