In it's current configuration, it's capable of 106 quarters; that won't change much with sticky tires.I want to be able to know what it’s capable of,
Why would you say drag radials wont do much?In it's current configuration, it's capable of 106 quarters; that won't change much with sticky tires.
ETs are money-pits. Fully prepped in SuperStock trim you are looking at about 1 second quicker
My Barracuda did about the same with the previous 223/110 cam, also at 3650 pounds but at 900ft elevation; even down to similar 60fts. 106 was fast enough for me. I only went to the track the one time with that combo in 4 years. I only went for the time-slip, to post it in the window at carshows.
People would tell me how great 340s were back in the day, you know, going 98 in the quarter and how I shouldda built a 340. So when they see 106, I don't have to put up with that, anymore.
My engine is 360 based, being 4.044 x 3.58=367.86 cubes .... so I finally started calling it a stroked 340, which ended all the ignorant comments.
Yeah, I know; 367.86 rounds to 368, but I call it a 367, cuz it sounds smoother to me than 368, lol.
>It seems to me that if;
your 440 (231/237/110 cam) is going 106@3600pounds,
on 3.73s with a 3000stall, shifting at 6000 and
my 368(223/230/110 cam) is going 106@3650pounds,
on 3.55s with a clutch and shifting at 7000
Something
is not
computing.......
If I remember right, to go 106 at 3650 requires just 365 hp, which I thought was high for my combo......, but hard to argue about. I only made the one run that day, because I was sorta dumbfounded at the numbers, lol. Oh I should probably tell you, I was running OOTB Eddies at something like 190+ psi CCP, which is somewhat higher than your numbers; 180 was it?
If yur doing 106 with iron heads, @180psi CCP, have you considered that your engine may be detonating?
I mean detonation would kill your power.
Jus guessing.
I was having an audible detonation issue early on with 36* of timing. That was handled dropping timing 2* to 34* that being said I have noticed a couple of specks on the plugs the last time I pulled them. So it’s certainly a possibility.In it's current configuration, it's capable of 106 quarters; that won't change much with sticky tires.

FWIW the car has 3.23 gears not 3.73 not sure if that changes the computation.>It seems to me that if;
