[Chrysler300] Quarter mile

[mckanical-marvels@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

My first car, (forty years ago), was a '64 Fury that I had dropped a 413 
engine in. I left the engine stock, including the carb. It was not an HP 
engine, but that is all I know about it. I did a lot of street drag racing. 
I had 3.23:1 gears. The valves/springs "floated" at 5000 rpm. No one EVER 
beat me out of the hole, but toward the end of the quarter I ran out of 
power and felt like I was coasting. That's where they would catch up with 
me!

In February I purchased my "K Koop". It has a 413 HP, single carb, dual 
point dist., and 2.76:1 gears. I want to take it to nostalgia drag race 
events. I have 3.23 and 3.91 gears on hand.
1) What would be the optimum gear ratio for the quarter mile, (using stock 
diameter tires)?
2) What is the best oil or oil/additive combo?
3) What rpm's can I expect out of this engine?
4) What fuel is recommended?
5) Should I always use lead additive in the fuel?

More questions later, as I think of them!

Thanx,
