In a 64 model truck that is GUTTED and it went 12.0's before I finished tuning it. Cam and springs were the biggest expense. Was less then $1500 with buying a custom convertor for my setup. Never got to run it once I worked all the bugs out of the intake. She drop 4 rods the day before I was going to
