I always enjoy seeing posts from folks with 600+ horsepower but no quarter mile times. I guess there are a lot of engine builders selling horsepower but not many selling actual performance on the track.

The question posed was what are your actual times and what are you running to achieve those times. It seems no one wants to post that information.

The following are the numbers you requested for the Gobra with all the details:

My engine is a 427 cubic inch small block (Roush 427 SR #444) with 525 dyno horsepower and 525 foot pounds of torque on a Roush dyno. The transmission is a Tremec T-56 and my rear end is a 9 inch Ford with 3.89 gears. The drag tires are 17 inch Hoosier Drag radials. The car weighs 2720 pounds with me in it.
Here is my best 1/4 ET of the day recorded at the Shelby Nationals in Tulsa in 2011 with an ambient temperature of 104 degrees F and thousands of witnesses.

60 ft. 1.5 sec.
1/8 mi. 6.86 sec.
1/8 mi. 101.8 mph
1/4 mi. 10.56 sec.
1/4 mi. 129.73 mph
