I think they screwed up his converter as well, 6800 rpm with a 3.55 gear running only 98 mph? Plus, the cam isn't that big compared to that healthy hydraulic that was in it. I agree with you that it needs to be degreed though.
I would degree the cam and see if you can borrow a decent converter from some cool guy in Vegas
I would believe there is a conv or trans slipping issue, thats why I said that earier Yes I know that weight will have a factor with the carb not being open but guys really think if its a 1/8" from being full open its going to make a difference it wont... just went through this a few weeks ago with a heavy type car... didnt do diddiley... but if it were closed enough it will kill torque(acts like a small carb)
I agree and that brings up another good point, if you are running a carb that is already a bit small then moving the throttle position will have a greater effect than on the bigger carbs like dominators.
