Well, when we finally get a good run on our first low deck in my car, I will let you know what a good 60ft is...Best with the 440 based was a 1.329 with my pre Thumper carb....

PS we like the red top 900cca battery's. I use just one in each car...But we do use a full size chevy 1-wire alternator.

Also, I spend as much time tuning the front suspension as the rear...This is even more important on a leaf spring car.
