1966 Dodge D/Dart ~ 'Mystery, Myth and Misconception'

For the Corvette above, what ET/ MPH would you expect? Allow for the std. Overbore (290/292 c.i.?) prep? If they were running the 11:1 compression vs std for 270 hp (9.5?). The 61 would dial in better than the 62 with the 327.

Westchester Corvette ~ Yonkers, New York

Tested most of the New York Corvette's {Dealership 'Stock' Lot Cars} with the following results.

Performance {Gears}.. .......................... 3.70 ...................... 4.11 ........................... 4.56 ..............
* 283/315 HP 'Fuel Injection' .......... 14.50 @ 96 MPH ....... 14.20 @ 98 MPH ........ 13.90 @ 101 MPH
* 283/270 HP 'Dual Quad' .............. 14.80 @ 94 MPH ....... 14.50 @ 96 MPH ........ 14.20 @ 99 MPH

Note;

What made the "big" difference in the 1961 Corvette ~ 283/270 HP 'Dual-Quad' Engine at the Drag Strip.

In 1964, the NHRA permitted the use of the #3782461 'Fuelie Head' as a Factory OEM Replacement
for the #3774692 Cylinder Head on the 1961 283/270 HP Engine.

Instead of 1.72" Intake Valves, the 283/270 HP now had 1.94" Intake Valves.
