Unported head quickness?

"Heard of"

I've heard of a lot of things. Most people have no idea what it takes to go 12's. A stock stroke 360 gives virtually no info. What else was done to the engine and the car?

I.e. A brand new Camaro with 425HP and sticky rubber goes high 12's. No stock 360 EVER made 425hp.

My classic line when someone goes to the strip for the 1st time and they ask "do you think my car will run 12's"? I always say yes. ALL OF THEM....... And all of the 13's and all of the 14's too.

My dyno guy calls his machine the “humbler” or the “Heartbreaker” machine.

The drag strip is such a place only if you set you car up for the strip. I have people asking me how much power my engine makes. When I give them my est. of the potential power output, they immediately rushed to how fast the car is in the 1/4. Or should I say should be.

I just smile and say that’s only true if the car is set for the track designed as so to take advantage of every last bit of power for the lowest ET possible. Which is a huge difference in a street driver.

I actually had a moron tell me that’s not true and that my car with 3.55’s should be within a tenth of his recommended 4.56’s.

Ummmmmmm, OK then!

Cant argue with stupid, they just drag me down and kick my *** with there overly experienced methodology.

how much does weight (i guess by the 100 pounds) affect power in the quarter?
I was under the impression that a 440 (in an E-body) would overcome the weight advantage of a souped up 360 in a light a-body. Without experience as a reference point, I had to ask the question. Obviously the OP's 440 isn't stock, don't know about the converter, the mopar books say a three speed auto is best for the quarter (condemning powerglides), and now i forget the OP's axle gear ratio (setup for street probably-NOT track). Is that good? refers to the OP's street, 440, Ebody performance.
