100 lbs. off the car might help without a cam change.

Good luck with it!!! Sad part is when you run your 8.99, you will still want more... I am lucky that I ran my 8.48 , got my warning to slow it down, and am going to set it up to run 8.55's or so and stop the insanity of going faster. (For now ) I am also running 440-1 heads and 10.5W slicks, so I am sure you will get your 8 no problem. What DA do you race at normally?? Cheers, Arnie

Congrats on some great performance! Getting into the 8s is going to be a challenge for sure. It is going to take a solid 35 hp to get there, which is going to be tough to come by at the power level you have already. Care to share what cam you are running now?

The new cam is very close to what I have, just a bit more lift. Mine is a Comp 283/296/112 in at 110, with .775 lift (1.55 rockers) intake, .680 exhaust. seem to work pretty good, but not much better than the Isky RR735 I started with!

When you say switching from 750s to a pair of 1050 Dominators are you saying you are running a tunnel ram with two 750 CFM carbs switching to the two 1050 CFM carbs? If so expect around 30 to 40 HP increase with both set of carbs max out on the fuel delivery and mixtures If switching from a single 750 to twin 1050 a little more HP and torque than above, 55 to 70 HP maybe I saw 30 HP going from a single 1050 Dominator on a cast single 4500 intake to two 1050 Dominators on a tunnel ram for 4500 carbs
Most of that power was the manifold change.

This is the best way to go quicker.
