i run a 383 in a street/strip 71 dart. its all steel and has a 4000 stall,3.91 gears,manual valve body,and 26 inch tall tire. its curently running super stock springs. i went a best of an 11.32 at 119 mph with a pathetic 1.64 60 ft. the tires arnt spinning but the suspension isnt working. what should i do? i forgot 2 mention i run an edelbrockcarb. are the secondaries coming in 2 late?

Get a holley......easier to tune and designed for racing. Just my humble opinion and I`ve seen a nice difference in performance from the swap.

If the tires are not spinning your not going to see much gain. But it will for sure not be a step backwards.

IMO you need more gear, I run a 365 ci Dart, runs 11.50s on a throttle stop and my 60fts are low 1.50s with a 4.56 gear. off the stop its gone 10.40 at 126 with a 1.40 60ft with S/S springs and a Pinion snubber and 4.88s on radial slicks. 10.50s on bias slicks and 4.56s. I went to a Cal- Trac/ Mono leaf set-up and lost 3-4 in 60ft. But my 60fts are more consistent. I never got the big gain I expected like high 1.30 60fts, the car leaves differently and is working better though.
