Pull the engine and get it on the dyno. With your headers, your carb, your ignition.
You are blaming the engine and you don’t have a clue how much power you really have.
You’ll get a much better converter if you give them actual power numbers.
If you think about it, the time and money you have spent so far would have paid for a day or two on a dyno.
There is a reason that all serious engine builders have a dyno or access to a dyno. They ain’t stupid.
Of course, if you have been on the dyno and jus didn’t post the numbers then all this ^^^ doesn’t matter. I’m sure I speak for many here that we’d love to see the numbers if it went across the pump already.
Just because you think it won't make it true. Horsepower is KING. To dispute this is stupid. C. Alston

Tried 34 and 35 degrees timing, car lost a. Tenth both ways. Ran a shift loop at 7200, 7400,7600 and 7800.ET was close from 7400 to 7800 but mph was higher at 7800 normally all my small blocks like timing

See it all the time, too small of a carb is a major choke point for starters......

36 degrees seems to be sweet spot for this engine/car combo Have you talked to some W9 guys about the timing? The W9 combustion chamber might need different timing than what you expect. Not a lot of people with those heads so talk to right folks. An engine dyno session would be informative but not really required. Lots of guys go down the track fast without having their engines on the dyno. If you can find a good chassis guy in your area it might make your journey shorter. It is easy to get lost when you're trying to sort out axle ratio, stall speed, air pressure, shock adjustments, chassis adjustments, etc. Sometimes just having an expert watch the launch is all you need to get going in the correct direction.

As ValiantRich said I would get it out and on the dyno. Something is way off, the car cannot get out of its own way down low for sure. 60/330 numbers are anemic at best for that combo. Te dyno will at least let you know what it makes and what it wants for gearing and converter for starters.

Curious why only 13.25:1?
