i have my thoughts on what it shoudl make but i'm looking for other's opinions.

66 383 commando block bored .030 over
11:1 pistons
racer brown cam, .510 lift, 292 duration
stock heads, just have good double coiled springs on them with a fresh valve job. i honestly dont recall if they are 906's or 452's
the origonal edlebrock torquer single plane intake
650 holley double pumper ( needs more fuel but it runs ok for now)
stock distributer firing on msd 6 box
1 3/4 headers to 3 inch flowmasters

the car has run a best of 12.8 at 108 on street tires with a slipping tranny and 2.76's. it slowed to a best of 13.20 at 104 as it didnt want to shift to 3rd anymore and 2nd was a horrific flare. here are a few videos, the drag strip is from 2001

she's definatly a strong puller, even with the 2.76's in it it will get up and go, just slow on take off.  i have 4.30's in it now and it slams you in the seat and holds you there.  :icon_smile_big: i'm waiting on my rear axle bearings to come in and get my 4 speed conversion together so i can actually start cruising with it
