My 1982 Direct Connection "B-RB Engine Racing Manual" shows just the 8.5:1 400 in a 3200# (less driver) Duster with 4.30 gears:

Stock Hyd 12.35 @ 110.27
Street Hemi 12.17 @ 112.60
.484 11.91 @ 115.30
.509 11.82 @ 116.61




They published that stuff right about the time I was building a new 383 for my '69 Super Bee. Based on all their data, I figured with the .484" cam, a fresh engine and 4.10s that the car would pick up big time from 14.4s @ 99 MPH w/ 3.23s and a seriously little cam. After all the "good stuff, it only ran 14.0s @ 101 MPH... guess it wasn't the cam.
