Specs of the 417 in my car:

4" Eagle forged crank
Eagle rods
Custom JE pistons 11:1 CR
Ported W2's
Victor W2 intake
Custom grind Comp roller 266/[email protected] .645 lift
MRL roller lifters
Holley 950HP
TTi 1-7/8 headers
91 Octane

I can't boast any HP numbers but it put my street car into the 10's on the second run with only 28 degrees total timing, no carb tuning, and drag radials. It might be a little more on the radical side for some people to be driven as a street car, but I think it has great street manners. MRL builds some real nice street friendly 416's. Search for some of his builds posted here.

If you went 10.89 with 28° timing, I can almost guarantee you will pick up at least 3 tenths by bumping the timing up to 34°.

For what its worth....A couple years ago I slowed my car down about 1.5 seconds to run in sportsman. One of the many things I did was retard my timing to about 28°, and it slowed 3-4 tenths on that alone.

Give that thing the timing it wants and let her EAT! :D
