I'm confused by that remark. Are you saying it's less than ideal or more than ideal?

My paperwork on the build is linked on post #16 here or just click here. If you scroll all the way down, you'll find some measurements by the machine shop for the heads and other stuff.

It runs very well. I've only been able to time 0-60 and not 1/4 yet, and I got off three 3.6 second times in a row on a good traction surface. I'm totally limited by traction. I have to use drag radials or it's like driving in the rain.

I dyno'd the car when I first got it, but it wasn't running so well AND the linkage wasn't giving me full throttle. Kinda important! Even at that, I managed 350 HP / 450 torque at the wheels. And like I said, that wasn't even at WOT. That was with my old Holley DP which also wasn't running right. After Richie tuned it and checked the timing (which he left alone) and after I fixed the throttle, it was noticeably faster.

Now I changed to a Cliff's Qjet, changed intake from Performer to his modified/ported P4BQJ and have a full 1/2" RobbMc delivery system awaiting installation.

The one thing I can say is that my MPG nearly doubled so far
