I have built this car very close to a buddys car every thing the same but he has a set of sportsman heads same cam same motor. he has a 4.00 gear and a 28" tire. he runs consistent low 10's. I still think it should run in the 10's with this combo. Maybe I am just spoiled with BBC'S . I had a 427 with old out of the box dart heads that ran 8.06@170 in my #2000 altered with 4.10 gears and a 33"tire. Thanks agin for all the ideas. Keep them coming. thanks bill c
That explains the 10" then, actually a looser converter will MPH more then a tight converter. I think if you find the 60ft your et will come .. like said above maybe a video camera is in need.
