Ford 272 C.I. runs low 11's. Why do Mopar guys need 408's?

  • cam is smaller than a stock 340 cam. Intake - .427/204 @ 050. Exhaust .455/and I "thinks" 212 @ 050.
  • OOTB = out of the box.
An old member here had a Duster that ran a 360 w/a split pattern Crane @ (IIRC) 216 @ 050 intake and he was running mid 12’s. I don’t remember the whole combo.

To me would be you drive over on a 95 degree day to Spokane Raceway when it reopens and clip off a low 10 sec pass and hit Walla Walla and clip another. lol
Likewise though running a 10’s isn’t needed or demanded.
While the quicker the car runs the more impressive it is, even a simple and consistent 12.5 car that does it over and over would qualify.
