I ran 11.50 at 117 in my convertible, I have the time slip somewhere, with a bit more camshaft, slightly less head flow, 4.33 gear, cleaned up Torquer 1 intake and a well tuned Holley 850 #4781 Holley carb.
It is not really that hard to do. Simple roll bar set-up in the car at the time with swing out arms. Cut all that crap out of the car many years later. Bill Klausing in a Much heavier 63 Pontiac Station Wagon could run 12.06 pass after pass with a small hydraulic camshaft and a 1966 tri-power intake with Holley 2 bbls on the intake.
This was in the late 1990s. Palbykin was running low 7s and high 6s with his race car. I think Rodney Butler had run a high 8 second time by then.
