Intake might be a bit restrictive and If it was mine it would have more converter. Should be a fun ride though, enough to get ya into trouble -Dustin 67 Dart, 9 second, 392" G3 Hemi 68 Barracuda 340 F/SA

I cut them for 9.5 comp and did a mild pocket port job myself. Had the .484 cam on a 104 centerline and stock rockers with Comp single springs. Use a 750 DP and had a Torker on it at first. It was a 727 with a manual valve body and a TA 3000 converter with 3.91's. It had CPPA chassis headers. Car ran 12.41 with theTorker intake but we put a Performer RPM intake on and ran a best of 12.31 @ 110. Car weighed 3560 with him in the car. It ran very good for what it was.
