My 73 340 Dart Sport ran 14.5 @ 99mph. 727 Auto, 3.91 8 3/4, Summit cheapo headers, 235/60/15 PEP boy's Super Sport cheap radial 26" tire. Everthing else on the car is stock, A/C/PS/PB console, big bumpers with extra interior plates still installed. Car is heavy.
I drove around the water, no burnout, and feathered off the line a few feet and rolled into the throttle. I have found that driving technique is more important than raw HP. Fix the clutch issue and go experiment with the car. Can you borrow some better tires? MT Sportsman are DOT bias and are period correct.
