Best past run in sig. with stockish heads,radials (not DR's),TRW dished pistons @zero deck,280H compcam,750DP Holley,and 3.73's.

New combo is :
Same bottom end,406sb,TRW dished pistons@zero deck,same 280H Compcam (.486 I/E)Same 750DP holley (4779-6)
Protopline heads 2.05/1.6(200's and comp. is now 10.17 from 9.5 and 1.94/1.6)
Full roller rockers (1.5's) from stampsteel (1.5's)
American Racer DOT slicks from street radials
Same 3.73's

Guesses ? I hope to hit the track April 30'th and see what she'll do now.

I would guess 12.30-12.40. With some tuning/suspension should be in the 11's.

I agree...low-mid 12's should be no problem at all. What tranny/convertor are you running?

Good luck Doug. I am currently in the process of doing my 400 and I'm waiting to see how you do. I hope you run 10 flat haha. Let us know.

the tranny/converter combo is... th350 w/ transgo shift kit and a 2200 stall (which has seen 2800+ with traction)

10's haha, me too. :D

Guy that built the heads claimed I could see as much as 100hp over the old heads I had, but depended on how much work I put into the old ones. So for a kicker I put on the roller rockers. I figure 75hp would be close with the rollers and higher compression. est.475hp/450t ?

Hey Doug G, where did you get your american racer tires from? And have you run them on the street yet to see how they hook up??

I got them off the net, "going out of bussiness sale" ($50+$10s&h each).

They haven't been "heated" yet, but have seen a few hard take offs and never really hooked. They ride funny and I have to get used to it. Buddy of mine runs them in a Nova with 383"sb & 4.56's pulling the front wheel/s 6" or so. I hope to just hook.
