I'd think a car like this could run mid 10's fairly safely w/ good traction, good driver. 1979 Dodge Lil' Red Express - 360 rwhp, 13.2 @ 103mph 1968 Coronet: 318, 2.76, 15.2 @ 92mph!

I have a 1966 Satelite that I bought for parts, it seems to me those cars have very small rear wheel wells, may need to stretch the rear wheels wells and move the springs into the subframes to get a decent size tire on that car to hold that power Mr.Cab Racing and winning with Mopars since 1964.

I'd guess 10.80's or better, unless that's too much gear. 4.10's or 4.30's might be better. I'd think w/ the 4.56's you'll be pulling 2nd before the 60ft... better put a cage in the car or be prepaired to be asked to slow it down. [IMG]http://i66.tinypic.com/pui5j.jpg[/IMG] Coming soon!!!!

But 4.56s and 4 speed will make it difficult to hook that thing, IMHO. What is your rear suspension like and what tires are you planing on running? Master, again and still

Even with the EZ heads the torque peak won't be very high, so you don't need steep gears. 3.90 might work or maybe 4.10. You need to run the numbers to figure it out. The heads need to be looked at by someone before running them. Not sure if you got the heads direct or if Todd went thru them.
