That’s doable.

I simply want to drive to the track on a hot 85/90 degree day in my stock appearing 71 demon 340 6 pack, drop the drag radial pressure a bit and click off a easy 11.50 short shifting, maybe last pass of the day shift it up around 6,500 + for a low 11 pass as they kick me out! So for guys like me with ported J's, 3500lbs race weight, and a 6 pack intake i need all the help i can get. Keeping the cylinder psi up around 180 along with a cam near 600 lift and 255+ @.050 might do it.

How stock appearing? Exhaust manifolds? Much harder to do..

hard to do most anyway with that 6 pack, stock stroke, etc, etc. gonna take some convertor among other things, especially if it weighs that much
340’s with J heads dont just run mid 11’s falling off a log.

It has a 4,400 converter, ported 6 pack with the DC mechanical carbs,

that will certainly help. My stock stroke 360 dipped into the 11.20’s that i took out of the car before last season started. Usually 11.40’s to 11.50. Weighs 3320 with me, all steel Dart and i am 320 myself. You wont have to short shift it. Should run 98% as good as its gonna run shifting it not much over 6k. There wont be 2 or 3 tenths upping the shift point a few hundred rpm. My cam was 260@50

the hemi in his old black roadrunner had a 900 lift roller in it. He is very sharp, but that car running 140+ mph isnt magic, it made LOTS of power.

He documented a small block build on the FAST forum years ago and it was a work of art.
