BB Cuda,
I know, I thought they would be quicker too, just like everyone else who bought them.
My friend, who had a brand new 1968 Road Runner Automatic, which was 'Nice and Fresh',
was stuck in the 14.55 @ 96 MPH range.
And that's with Cyclone Headers, 7" Slicks and 3.55 Gears w/Sure-Grip.
Though the Automatic Transmission was stock, the 383 Road Runner A-727
Automatic had a decent Torque Converter 'stall rate'.
The Timing was 'advanced' for racing, but the Single-Point unit did not have a
Performance Curve when he first ran it.
I'll have to say one thing in favor of the 383 Road Runners, the stock 383/335 HP engines were as
durable as hell, and they could run all day long and not break.

EL5Demon 340,
You 'stubborn man'.
Super Stockers in Action Magazine tested a 1968 Barracuda 340-S, 4-Speed, w/3.23 Gears w/Sure-Grip
and pulled down a best of 14.73 @ 96.7 MPH.
Motor Trend is only one 'Performance Test'.
