It lays over on the top end after shifting to 3rd, and even sometimes at the top of 2nd....
So at a race weight of 3480lbs, and a best trap speed of 124mph, what do you guys calculate? 660hp seems pretty close to me.
I know last year when it ran 10.84 there was another .10 in it of I sealed the carb to the hood.
I keep wondering about the MSD box though....
525...... Maybe 550 horse. Before my w5 motor I had a 416 with flat tappet, mildly ported Eddie heads. Car weighed 3450 at that time as it still had the bench seat in it( and otherwise bone stock in and out 70 Duster) cage and my 300 pounds in it, and it ran 10.70's at right at 124 through the muffs. I figured it for close to 550, maybe a hair less.
I had a 6al do exactly what you are dealing with( lay over top of second and third) that I chased half of a season few years back..... Knocked about 5 or 6 tenths out of the car.
Swapped in a digital 6 at that time and never did it again
