You bet, I've kept every time slip since I bought the car and rebuilt it back in 1999.
The 2 biggest improvements I have made have been the 750 hp carb, and the 2700 custom built stall convertor. Thos combined got me another full second off my time, but the mph stayed really close to the same. 101 mph is all I can seem to muster. Maybe I need to go on a diet??

Get better heads than the stock ones and you'll see way more than 101 mph.

And yeah, I'm gonna say around 11.6 on that 347 with traction. Maybe a bit slower, like 11.8 or 11.9. A better carburetor would help.

yea i cant decide on carb. I love the looks of the speed demon but ive heard they are a pain to tune. i think the 600 edelbrock should be good enough for a while.

As with any drag racer, you never over estimate ET's (faster). So many variables and not knowing the weight and tire type and size, how can you give a true estimate. When you go faster then expected it's all good but when you go slower, then your night seems to be crappy...

Good going on the times and hope it only gets faster....
