If I had one and a nice light A-body...I would do that or a procharged one....I have seen them run 10's, but they sound aweful, just my opinion.

Power levels are all over the board, but there are some pretty fast ones out there.
Drakes went high 9's with their Simca, EFI on alcohol.
Flyin' Ryan has been low/mid 10's in his '66 Valiant, blow through carb on gas.
Mike, any other info on your buddy's car? The Slant racers would love to hear about it.

A friend from high school recently built one. I'm not sure of the specs, but I think he is expecting low 11's in a 62 Valiant. He posts at FABO.

6 in a row can definitely go but the exhaust note is positively painful to be around if you are on the loud pedal. 
I had a 300 in an F100 with the usual bolt ons Clifford intake 600 Holley headers etc. I drove it 15 miles to town for exhaust after installing the intake and headers. I have never been so glad to see a muffler shop in my life.

I always liked the sound of mine, especially when it got close to 7000.
On a load of sauce it was even better.

It definitely works, and it's cool because of the "different" factor...
...but don't kid yourself if you think it'll make as much power as a 318 with the same parts/boost/fuel.
