Looks like you're pretty right on with that set-up. I built a 10.3 : 1 .060 over 350 with that same cam with 200cc Dart II's, a Victor Jr, 750 Kwik Fuel, 1 3/4 Hookers with 3" Race Bullets, a ACC 3500 Convertor and 4.10's and it ran high 12.0's and low 12.1's all day long with a best (one time) 11.98 @ 112 in a '77 Camaro. The car weighed 3560# with him in it, so consideing the difference in weight and aerodynamics you're pretty close I'd think. You will definitely be able to tweak a little more out of it if your track has test and tune in the cool months. That 11.96 pass was on a cool, clear March day in the 40's with the sun shining all day. It warmed the track up just enough to get warmer month 60 ft times, but the engines loved the cool air. My '82 Z28 also turned its best ever ET with the set-up I had at that time.

BTW, I looked at one of the old Log books, and we were running 38* total timing, launching at 1800 and shifting it at 6400. That produced the best ET's. We would dedicate days at T-N-T to shifting and leaving at different RPM's and it never ceases to amaze me how much hidden time you can find in a set up. Other days we'd do the same thing with timing and jet changes. We would only make small changes at time, and write it all with the timeslip info. It can be a very good tweaking tool if you are doing it.

I'll bet he didn't go home talking about the old chevy truck that cleaned his clock!

[lowriden58]

yeah she has more in her for sure. my biggest problem right now is trans issues. i need trans brake (i can only foot brake to 2200 as my brakes dont hold much) and my shifter is apparently out of adjustment still. it doesnt seem to go into gear like it should when manually shifting. so i might just ditch the current valve body for a reverse manual with a trans brake still up in the air if i wanna be shifting an AUTO on the street but i do plan on a 200shot of NX very soon

what is your stall? I'm thinking about putting a 2500 or a 3000 in my 68, I cant foot break to **** now with the stock converter and, also I'm getting on of the lokar shifters next pay check. get a blower instead of gas it's way more fun if you ask me

That is really nice, Maybe you go a little faster if you leave the tailgate closed.
It is proven to get les drag that way.
