Well guys it's time to junk the stock 5.0 for something bigger. The 5.0 did good. It ran in the 10s on spray and low 12s off. I'm moving up to a fully forged 363 Dart shp short block most likely from Fordstrokers. I'm thinking somewhere in the 10.5-11 to 1 compression range. I'll reuse my 190 CC heads and run a 750 CFM dominator carb. It's slow as hell in the SS section so lets hear predictions for what the new set up will run on motor and the 200 shot? ET & MPH guesses.
Definitely be in the 9s. I dont know much about that motor either. What are your guesses, BB?
im going with 10.9@122 motor and 9.7@136 spray.

It held together. Its stock bottom end. Pistons were also stock. I sprayed it one time with the full 200 shot and about 8 times on the 50. Never got a roll bar so couldnt go all out without getting booted.I had electrical gremlins like you wouldnt believe so sinse im going carb ill do everything all at once. New motor. Rip out all the fuel injected crap and simplify things.
