Gosh who would ever run such a heavy car?  nice running. Put some timing in it, uncap it and I bet you pick up 3 tenths and some MPH.

Thats the plan. Timing is at 34 degrees now, I'd like to try 36 or 38 make a couple passes then uncork the 2 1/2" system. I really hope to pick up a couple more tenths.
Congrats ....... I could almost make 2 of my
cars with what yours weighs ... and almost the same
with the sheet metal... I've restored one of those
and the quarter panels and hood could make mine

Good work! I run good flowing exhausts on my almost stock 383 Barracuda but it consistantly runs 1 1/2 mph faster with uncorked exhaust, in a 3700 lb car thats got to be worth at least 10 HP. In New Zealand we are just coming into our summer so it's good to see some of you guys get a few last runs in before the winter.

DUUUDE run it up to 38* (it's nice and cool out) uncap those soda straws and I bet you'll pick up a 1/2 second. FWIW I went form 35* to 38* and moved my shift point from 6200 to 6400 and went from 11.93 to 11.39. I just got me new axels in and I'm going to launch it harder and take it to 6600ish and try and get some 11.20's next week.
