Brian, I agree but my 455 went 465 rwhp and ran 10.90. I'm sure I will eventually get 560+ rwhp and at least be able to cover a 10.20 1/4 Mi. then drive it home listening to classic rock. As of right now I have +90 hp and + 50 lbs tq from the old combo. Will that get me to a 10.20? Time will tell for sure. The torque peak was 4950-5000 rpm and the HP peak was 6200 and very flat, which I think is good for overall averages. The split between the HP and TQ was about 1200 rpms. As I'm gathering all this data I'm trying to figure out if I could go up to a 1250 carb, as mentioned earlier, and /or is the intake doing its job based on cam dimensions, cubic inches, HP and TQ peaks. I feel i'm an adaquate tuner but I also know i'm amongst real pro's and will listen to sound advise.
