being from Tennasee I’m betting he has a fast track nearby but the converter won’t get him a 10.45.
Wonder if it's off the shelf or custom to build... If PTC custom built it for his gear/motor, then it may be like ketchup and hot dog

Air gap intake seems like it would limit the upper end power over a free flowing single plane? Other than that it sounds like it should scoot
It'll run better than slow and have more than a Briggs and Stratton.
Launches and hooks low 11’s with your arm on the window sill just cruising, serious tuning and dialed in consistently maybe crack the 10’s

Question number one would be how much experience do you have recently racing at a drag strip?
Question number two what's your all-in timing set at and what is your air fuel ratio at wide open throttle?
Question number three those rear tires what kind are they? And how much air do you have in them? And how new or old are they?..
10.7 to 11.7 or worse depending on the answers to all those questions...
I guess we'll know in about four years...
11.60s best guess, car sounds heavy 3400+?

Make that two....
everything is new... no tuning yet ... will have 28/10.5 slicks . my other car is 71Demon Indy -1 head Big block . so I may know how to drive a little bit. this my first small block since I was kid. my butt dyno sure feels good. lol
So then I ask you, would do YOU think? means you've driven it....

I wasn't questioning whether you could drive or not. You've posted five times in the last 17 years so I wouldn't have a clue if you just bought the car yesterday or you've been drag racing all your life. With that said have you been drag racing the demon at a track?..

SS springs? Caltracs? Four-link? Adjustable shocks? Ladder bars?..
Pullin teeth would be easier. With tweezers.
