good, now get a hood on that thing!
You might need to work on your 60 foot. I'd think if you got it down to 1.60-62 you'd be well into the 11's.
I think his 60 ft. already looks pretty good when compared to his ET. By comparison, my car runs 12.0's and typically 60's right at 1.75, with a best of 1.746 on a 12.06 / 112.98 run. If he's 60-ing @ 1.67, I think he's already got the launch to go 11's, especially with the big-end charge that should come with 1500 cfm worth of carburetion. But again, the 109mph seems a tad on the low end for 12.20, I think its the big end that's hurting him right now. I'd try taking a little timing out of it (39 is on the high side of what wedges usually like), and also.... as the saying goes, Lean is Mean. Jetting up at the track without opening the exhaust might be going in the wrong direction ????. (But then again, what do I know....  )
Bench racing season is in full swing here.....

I think my engine is not pulling as hard as it should be on the big end. Also I was hoping to pick up 2-3 tenths when uncorking the 2 1/2" full exhaust system.
you should have. what's the fuel pressure at the stripe? what are you shifting at?

Dont know the fuel pressure at the stripe but its set @ 9 psi. I shift @ 5800 and cross the finish line at 6000. Tried shifting at higher rpms and the car slows down. The comp 285hl hyd cam and 906's are done making power before 6000 rpm.
Lifter pump up?

One real easy way to see if you have enough fuel delivery is to jet the carbs up( a little at a time) until the car starts to slow down in the 1/4 MPH   If it gets to a jet size that dooesn't change and still goes the same MPH fix the fuel delivry problem  Been there, done that  Mine was to small of a fuel filter size element once and the needles and seats being to small the next time  Lots of gremlins out there messing with us drag racers 
CAB I started at 76 jets and everytime I have gone up 2 sizes I have picked up et and mph. I'm at 80 sq now and want to try 82's and mabey a smaller high speed air bleed. Its a B*^$ch changing jets so I hope I find the right ones on the next try.
