Honestly if you're going 121-123 mph, that car should already be in the 10's. That's easy 10.80's with a decent short time. That tells me that your short time is lacking and most likely the biggest...

I think most of you guys here are just street cruisers that want to get from home to the dairy queen and back. There are a few of us that are more serious about performance in our street cars. ...

I'd need a phone the size of a laptop lol.

Honestly I'd like it better if it were transferable to an SD card and just plug it into the laptop. Or maybe they could offer a cord or plug in option...

It's a case by case basis as to which setup I'd pick, and sometimes certain circumstances dictate the decision. There are instances where running a stock fuel system is required (pure stock drags...

That works well too. I've done the 1/2" steel tubing side by side for the bigger HP stuff and buy it from either inline or SS tubing as mentioned.

Last I heard progression still had not adapted the use of factory tachometers which killed any idea of me trying it, so Im betting adapting 2 steps and things might be a no go. Plus the whole "use...

I'm still running original 50 year old distributors in the daily drivers that trigger a box with points.

Youve run into a very common problem that seems to come up all the time on the Holley forum.

First question, absolutely run a vacuum advance. Even on higher effort 700-800 hp NA street engines I run a vacuum advance. There is no downside to them, only benefits.
