I had requested the info on FalconSedanDelivery's car and posted back with computer predictions over on "1320 Crowd", look there if interested.

I too am hoping for a dyno test on this combo!
 
Although many people like to throw around numbers , I perfer simple math applied to Quarter mile trap speeds and weight , since I have a Dragstrip near by ( three actually ) and have raced for over 30 years , I let my money go towards track time , to each his own , and Thanks Werby ,for the Gonkulation , I hope to put this thing in the High 12s at just over 100 mph , That is my goal , then low twelves high 11s with the Aluminum head and a few more upgrades , then I'll really have a Buzzin Half Dozen !!
