Hey all, i had my 70 Cuda out for the first time at an 1/8th mile track on the weekend and was a little disappointed on the results. I know this can be open ended question but can you give me some ideas on what i can do to get the times lower.
The best time was 7.57 at 92.98 mph and 60ft 1.72.
A few of the other runs were close to that area as well.
Now the combo is
496rb
10.5 compression
flat tappet .565" lift on both and .274 deg @ .50
eddy rpm performer heads with light porting (no flow numbers)
440 victor intake
1050 quick fuel carb 4150
converter stalls around 3500 (unsure)
727 full manual
3.91 diff gears
295/65r15 mickey thompson et's
So any thoughts?

Pretty amusing - all those replies about tossing a bunch of parts or changes at the car, and NOBODY asked 1 important question - what are you running for exhaust?
The ET times and chassis dyno numbers are spot on for your combo if you are still running manifolds or a restrictive exhaust. I've seen the cheap repop chrome exhaust tips with only about a 2" inlet pipe choke a healthy big block up pretty badly.
