Are these decent numbers for my combination? Anyone?

You are in the 580-600 hp range. This is assuming you are close to a good tune up. I will say that you are running way more rear gear than you need with that weight and tire height. For just starting out you need to know that you have a lot more potential and just need to work in small increments to better numbers. Patience, there is a lot more racing left this season.

At the rear tires?

That would be flywheel numbers but a good starting point. I edited my first post.

Ok thank you for the advice. I have slowly been picking away at it. First time out with this motor was 6.41 @ 106 in really good air so it seems Im going in the right direction. As far as gearing Im 1/8th mile only and Im crossing right at 7500. I shift at 7500 but I can twist it 8000 pretty easy. Built it mainly for index racing and its very consistent even on the small tires. I pulled 31x13x15 off for an event this last weekend that required the small tires.
