The Current Combination

The current combination of parts I've assembled has yet to be drag tested.  The car has run a best of 14.64 in the quarter mile in previous configurations, and together we were 1994 Bracket II Champion at KCIR (even after missing half the season!).  Since that time I've replaced the stock converter with a 3500 RPM stall speed unit, added a limited-slip rearend, changed from 3.08:1 to 3.55:1 rear gears, replaced the stock 1.5:1 rocker arms with 1.7:1 big block Chevy roller rockers, and switched from a 600 CFM vacuum secondary Holley carburetor to a 390 CFM NASCAR style Holley double-pumper.  Based on these modifications, and the new short  block I'm currently building, the computer program I use (Dragstrip Plus) predicts quarter mile times in the mid to low 13's.
