So, The Journey to 700 lb ft Torque begins
Find a 3200 lb factory condition muscle car with triple chrome plated steel bumpers with a n/a 23 degree sbc, faster.

You can't.

For 6 years and counting, mph or et.

I built the engine, transmission and ring & pinion in it. You can't evidence anyone with those skillz.

Damn we've got two BLP carbs to try on this Wednesday night Orlando Speed World.

BLP just called, my new black billet center dyno Dominator 1250 cfm carb will be on my doorstep tomorrow.

New version vs Old.

Nice.

You're putting a 1250 on a motor that doesn't make anymore power than that?
My smallblock makes more power and don't need a 1250.....heck BLP even told me to use it on my old Reher-Morrison 555 when I had it

Ran excellent, within a couple hundredths of my Nova high gear only, to the 330 ft.

Same power/similar, only 275 lbs heavier.

18cc piston pump gas BBC, I was happy with it.

I take that back, within 5 hun to the 330 high gear only.

The Nova goes 4.22 to the 330, the Third Gen went 4.27 high gear only.

Run good

Technically it left in low gear and he shifted it right after the release, ITS OBVIOUS IN THE GRAPH

Good call. That's a graph from a 370 Pro Tree 6.50 index race.

High gear only in the same fashion on the Camaro, while I worked on getting it going straight.

It's a stock suspension three link torque arm car, which works great once they go straight.

By the fourth lap I had it going straight 4000 leave chip, we just ran out of time to make a wide open pull using low gear, the lanes closed.

It'll run a 6 teen easy, no carb tuning. Ran close with my Nova when I run it high gear only.
