Here's one for you with almost all stock components. I run it in a 3700 pound (with me in it) Road Runner. It has a 727 (flashes at 4200), 4.30 gear,

Combo is:

.040 over stock 440

Stock crank

Probe 12.5:1 pistons (actual ratio is 13.1:1)
pistons have .990 pins.

Stock rods (non-six pack) that have had the beams ground, bushed,and balanced.

Professionally, race ported heads (452) with 2.14/1.81 valves.

Comp Solid roller cam #23-742-8
.262/.262 @.050, 110 lobe separation, installed on .105 centerline.

Heads are 452's with Crane gold rockers (.015 tapet lift).

I run a stock (non-port matched) 6 pack intake. The carbs are stock with threads tapped into the metering plates for easy jet changes (Pro Max Carbs).

I have run a best ET of 11.178 @121.55 at Atco in NJ. The elevation was just over 600 feet. The car was run with M & H 275-60-15 cheater slicks with open headers (uncapped 2" street Hookers).

The best 60' with this combo is 1.613.

I know the compression ratio is high on this. And yes...race gas is hugely expensive, and I hate the fact that I rarely street drive the car. The truth is, the six pack is not set up ideally. I believe there are 10's in this combo with a good 4-barrel and single plane intake. I wonder what it would do with a 10.5:1 ratio. I bet it would still run low 11's. There was plenty of tire spin with this combo, and I only ran it at the track once.

The reason there is so much compression is the 452's had previously been shaved .100" to gain compression on another combo. I put this together from used parts that were sitting around our shop.

I think if you built a similar combo, but used your Eddy Heads, an M1 or close, and your 850 Holley, you'd be running 10.80's.

I plan to find out what the combo will run with slicks and a good intake and carb combo soon.

Good luck, and the 'lite looks awesome. What color is that?
