What will this run?

Best was a 1.70. Room for Tons of improvement. And it didnt spin, just no bottom end.
The cam had those stock weak springs on it that eddie heads come with. Took the car forever to rev to even 6k for the 1/2 shift. Sit there and fall asleep staring at the tach.
Have also been fighting an electrical gremlin we found. Dont doubt that was part of the dogginess as well. The ground strap to the chassis wasnt tightened down to the frame. Nut was just hand loose maybe 2 threads screwed on, like when the motor was installed he forgot to go back and screw the nut down and tighten it.
Put a brand new battery in it at the track and it would still barely turn over enough to start the car. I had thought the old battery was bad.
I am betting that affected the msd box and spark output, and contributed greatly to the general lack of snappiness of the car.

Saw that slow my old 9 sec car down to 10.20's years ago having a bad alternator aand bad battery at the same time, and continuing to use a jump box to start it one night going rounds.
Next morning new battery and alt, and car was 3 tenths quicker and back where it normally ran.
