Wow, I'd like to hear more about that build. What compression, and what did that bump stick look like?
As many of us have said, going fast in these trucks isnt cheap. My old setup - 355 with worked TBI heads, stock HEI, z-28 springs, Comp 270-H flat tappet hyd cam, Edel rpm intake, edel 600 cfm carb, open hooker comp headers, TH-350 with vette' converter, posi 12 bolt/3.73, 28x14.5 DOT slicks, went low 15's @ 2200 ft above sea level and a hot evening w/ full weight (1/2 ton SWB fleet).
The motor was a crate when I got it with around 20k miles on it. The heads/cam/top end were around 1000 all together. Another 1000 in the rear, converter was free.
It wasnt fast, but I still had a ton of fun with it bracket racing on the weekends.
My 496 should go into the 11's on the bottle - I've built it for less than 2k... I even worked for parts for a while at a local machine shop
