make7UPYOURS, my best 60' was 2.11 on street radials, so I agree that 2.00 60' is a reasonable goal, even on street tires. I could not tell much difference with the 2400 TCI converter, but haven't been to the strip with it yet. G-Tech showed same old 5.30 0-60 time. 2500-3000 to me is on the edge for street driving especially with the 3.80 and no overdrive. The cam ought to be about perfect for a street car. I also think Ron1 is correct about the 289 heads. Are you sure about the ports being the same size in 289's and 351W's? That's why I got the 351W's instead of using my old 289's heads. My static CR is supposed to be 9.5/1. Cranking compression is 195-200 psi. 145 seems low to me. Are the pistons flat tops? With that cam and a 3.80, I'd expect that car to melt street tires. Do a DynoJet if you can and see what the engine is doing and when. Then try to figure out what the fix is.
