Unless you have alot of glass components....too much cam for a heavy car...

Not enough gear, converter or compression for that cam...

4.10s at a minimum, 5k flash at a minimum and IMO 11.0-11.5 comp.

4.10s and a quality 8inch WILL drive fine and dandy on the street....Although IMO with 500 cubes the gear isnt the deal breaker w 28 inch tire...with 30 inch tires 4.10s-4.30s.

Your combo (when right and if the heads are decent to good) should go 10s...
