Hutch,
Believe it or not but my 60 foot time, my best was 2.2. Also, Cab I agree I am always worried about TF linkage, so I had my transmission guy help set it up correctly.
My concern is HP in general
A 9:1 440 with decent 915 heads, headers, 703 lunati cam, Holley dominator intake,and 750 carb , SHOULD be able to push a car into low 13's at Least..
2.2 60'?!?!?!
I'ld be working on the 60' BEFORE anything else.
Master, again and still

It does sound lazy out of the hole. What is the timing set at, initial and total? Also have you tried playing with the accelerator pump at all??

Initial. 22 degrees and 38 total at 2500, And I agree at 4000 lb and 260 hp, that would be what I expect but this is a mildly built 440, it should have more then 260 hp in it? I am not talking something crazy but I think it should have more? My question is why... Possible jumped teeth on timing chain, something else? Mikey Ps maybe it is just time to throw my stroker 508 in it and be done with it
