Yes we have discussed this and I know what needs doing but as none of it will happen as you well know because its really a 50/50 street/strip car unless owner has a brain storm and wants to change things to go 9's there's not much that can be done under those constraints. I was just trying to understand the combo better in my own way. I fully understand what your saying and it would prob work for us.

BUT what your describing is exactly what a 3000lb '67 Cuda NSS car has in our class, a 572 all ally Indy motor@14:1, with ported MW SR heads that must be crap, an even smaller in the low .600's s/roller and a 440-3 w/1050 Dom and runs in the 10.0's>9.9's@127's, with 4.10's from the 4.56's he had in an effort to reduce trap rpm. Super 60's aren't the reason for low mph it just don't pull, it mid tracks and then hits a wall in the 2nd half, you can hear it, so comp and a small cam ain't working for him, those heads are prob the worst case scenario on that combo, don't know what they flow.. At least we got the heads but aren't using them cos of our comp etc. I dare say with our cam and some 1.7's with more comp, a 3x with a Dom we could make another 100hp as you say and as we have discussed prior.
