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
Your car weighs 30 pounds more than mine with me in it.2670 vs 2700..I run a 388 sbc. NEED more Compression.Heads "could" be fuzzed up .Alittle More gear. (I run a 4.88 set with a 32 tall tire) and deff a (forget about the street) 8 inch converter that stalls 5500 plus on the brake.You car should be as fast or faster than mine. :wink:
Now...Had an old set of -8 that had lots of work done to them over the years.Supposedly flowed 301@ 700 on the intake...But the camaro was a pig. 383 13.to 1.ALL we did was swapped the heads out for a new set of dart pro 1 230 plat's and picked up 3 tenths in the 1/4 ...10.70's to now 10.40's and they have no work done to them yet. :shock:
I personally think the -8 didnt flow what he was told and the port work was just a hogged out set heads that didnt make any power. :wink:
