The crate motor that was in it at the time was 9 to 1 comp., stock magnum heads, .501/ .513 lift hydraulic roller cam and 1 5/8 block hugger headers. The 9.5 converter foot brake stalled about 2600 rpm. 7521002-CIMG0081.JPG (19 downloads) 1.33 60 ft,6.21 at 110.59 in the 1/8, pump gas small block,2950lbs,drag radials,mufflers and driven to track ...

I would set the timing at say 34* and set the carb so its not real lean and run it for the weekend to test some other things(just checking things NOT changing anything) and see how the conv acts and if its constant... I would be checking fuel pressure going down the track (a gauge I can see) and start eliminating things... I hate seeing people just start throwing parts at a car

My 67 Barracuda HT with 915 heads that I ported, 265 @.050 with .620 lift cam, 4.30 gears and 28X10 MT slicks and a 4200 stall converter ran between 6.99 and 7.04 at 95MPH in the 1/8 Maybe you don't have enough compression. What is your 60' time? Maybe I am comparing apples to oranges if the red PU is you car. Anyway I would think that with the stall you have it should be 1.65 or less 60' if it has bite and torque.
