I was wondering the same thing why your combo wasn't fastener than that. It sounds like a real healthy setup that should be in the mid to low 11's I would think. I will say you'd probably benefit from a 950HP or something over the 750. I run a 950HP that around town and it performs really well.

Again, I think it may have had a little too much gear. When I bought it, I talked with the previous owner at length about it. He ran the car at Irwindale in CA which was the 1/8, hence the 4.30 gear. I told him I was planning to put in a 4.10 gear I had and he thought it would be a good choice. He didn't think it would affect E.T. much if at all, it's only a 5% change. Might even MPH a little better? It's got a 28" tire and a low gear set in the trans. He shifted it at 6,800 and went through the traps at 7,000.

He also said it might benefit from a bigger carb but I have no plans for that at the moment. I am staying with the engine and drive train as-is for now.
