I've eatin many BB cars with a 360. He has a stock 360,he's not beating much. This comming form a huge 360 defender. Everyone has a different perspective,but a 16 second car isn't going to strike fear into many. To the original poster,I don't mean to sound harsh.Please believe me. I have been experimenting with stuff like this for 36years. True story. I had the lowest factory rated HP 302 ford in history when I was 16 years old. It was sad and I got beat by a few weak 70's cars. After a lot of time spent tuning and a few parts swapped(I was young and had no $$$) it became a problem on the streets. So have fun and everyone has to start somewhere. Good luck with it.
