I think it needs a little more gear and maybe a little better intake. My brothers scamp has a mild 440, .030" cast piston, decked block, home ported 346 heads, 509 cam, team G intake, tci street fighter converter, 4.10 gear 26x8 m/t slicks
best et 11.48

BIg Beep - that is the baddest pic on here!!! That ole Cuda leaves like a B____!!!!

U should go 11.75, the glide will take away from u with that
Small gear ur running , with my glide in my Valiant it
Worked best with 4.88's, but I was running a totally
Different set then U, good luck with it.

That combo is absolutely begging for a plate system!!

I might have the best car here to compare yours to. My Valiant with an aluminum head 360/727 and 8 3/4 weighed 2,940 without me. With an iron head 440/727 and Dana it weighs 3160 without me. The 8 3/4 had drums, the Dana has discs.

The 440 is a stock '78 short block with unported 906's milled to 80cc. It's got a .557 solid, M1 and a 950HP. I've had a Holley SD and a Torker II on it and there isn't much difference in ET on MY car. They were all within a tenth, all with the same 4 hole spacer. No mods done to any of them either. It runs the best shifting at 5,500. I tried all the way to 6,500 and it didn't make a difference. This certainly isn't the best combination of parts, but it was built years ago on a budget, lol.

It's got a 4500 stall converter, 4.10 gears and a 28" Hoosier QTP. It has gone a best of 11.49/7.20(not on the same pass). It seems to be better in the 8th than the quarter for what it is.

I've been told it would go quicker with a 509 cam. If you go that route, find an older used one that was broke in right. The new ones suck. I had one wipe out a lobe after only 8 miles on it!

Hope this helps some

wonder what this combo could do in a 2500# package ?

I ran a stock 1974 440 with 509 cam 1 3/4 headers torker intake with 750 holley vac secondary carb. In 3250 lb car ran 12.10 @112 with 4.10 gear 27" Hoosier QT's 727 with junk 3000 stall converter. Not an optimal combo but it worked just fine. Good luck tuning tuning tuning is key. After you settle on the combo find out what it likes carb, timing etc.
