My 1967 Belvedere II is a 383 4 barrel car with a 4 speed. It has the 68 383 hp cam (268/284 .450"/.458") and a 68 intake and carb with 68 exhaust manifolds. It is a low mileage car, but was drag raced in the late 60s. I took it out the other day. Although I have owned it almost 4 years, I've never tried spinning the tires. I tried to do it from a 10 mph roll, but it wouldn't do it. It didn't bog, but he low end just feels lazy. It seems to run really good once it gets to 3000 rpm.

Shouldn't it be able to spin bias ply F70-14 tires? Not that I am trying to win a burnout contest. I've just always felt the bottom end performance was lacking, so I did it as a test.

Thoughts?
