Cam too much duration for cubes and not enough gear...a 470 cube big block with a 287 @ .050 cam, you better have good heads and spin it to 7500 plus.. I think the 119 was a typo.... Why? We used to run 452 inches with unported heads and the old .750 roller and didn't have to spin them 7500 to make power. But I doubt the motor is the issue with this car. If and I repeat IF the 119 is not a typo, at 2550 pounds, this thing makes 650ish on HP, which is not tough for an alum headed 470 if it has decent parts. That said, you should be able to kick it off the line and make it 60ft harder than it is, even with 4.10s and a 1.76 glide. I think the converter is way out in left field Yep, and they would go 6.50's....

Check the video where he's starting it, a Lot of drag at first, timing, compression or bad starter? Never could see the tach during first gear. He needs to put in low, engage trans brake then floor it to see how high that converter goes. At 119 mph with that tire and 4.10 gear he's only turning 5040 rpm, drive shaft speed, who knows what the engines turning.

Something is goofy and that didn't look like no 119 run to me and when I paused the vid I thought I saw a faint 105-109 mph.........

Time slip people should be posting Time Slips if there isn't a time slip it didn't happen.. the increments are very important

I agree and it seems odd he wouldn't want to help figure out what's REALLY happening so I`m done here.............

My guess is he's just doing the Norwalk thing right now. In an earlier post he said he'd post some slips from there, so we'll just wait and see what they look like.

I have had dealings with him in the past and he is a straight shooter.. but Time Slips and engine combination.. all that stuff is very very important I run a Glide behind a small block leaves like a rape ape so if it will run 119 it's got the ability to leave real hard

I'm not qualified as an expert by no means but my 3000lbs Duster w/small block has gone 1.40 60ft @ 4000DA. I vote convertor.
