I know there are folks on here who have built some potent low-to-mid 10-sec (and faster) 400/440-based combinations that retain the stock 3.75" stroke. I'd like to know more about them, including the related details of the rest of the car (weight w/ driver, gearing, converter, etc.).

Thanks,
Brad

Car was all steel except glass 6-bbl (not sealed) hood. All Lexan windows. Stock dash and stock floor/firewall, except back half.

The really cool thing was going from mid 10.80's to that 10.38 without touching the motor. That was from freshening the trans/converter, replacing the bent rear end housing, and adding and tuning the shocks.

Go back and note CR, cam duration and header size. I soooooo regret not trying a 275-ish roller and 2" headers.

I'm even more remorseful for selling it to buy a STUPID COMP dragster!!

how much lead timing with those domes

I ran 38* total with C12 fule changing timing did not pick it up. If you use the E-head the angled plug requires a notch in the pistion with a projected tip plug AR3910 but not with a AR3931 non projected tip.
