To get close to that you'll need to gut the car completely, have slicks that hook like mad with steep gears (4.11s like you said), and be able to launch the hell outta that C4 (transbrake/high stall). You're gonna have to do some work to that suspension, too.

I'm trying to figure out what this guy did to his 302. I know that's what it was, because I saw it with my own eyes. He claimed the car to have the following.

Stock c4
Balanced 302
Windsor Sr heads (saw the etching on them)
some cam
4.11's
Traction bars
slicks.

Didn't sound like he had a transbrake, and the car didn't shift for crap. What I'm trying to figure out is why that car was so dang fast. I really think it shouldn't have been.
