I don't know....maybe it's good for now until I can afford aftermarket heads. I think once I get those, it would like a bigger cam.

I would also wait on the cam till you get heads.

CONGRATS on the 12's man

Thats actually a very good ET for 102mph. Your car is still dying out after the 1/8th mile. I think you have some 12.50's in it once you get it all figured out.

You think it's still dying out? I was trying to determine if it still was or not but my highest mph ever was 104. I thought maybe the 1-2 mph drop was due to converter slippage.
I want to try a 2inch spacer under the carb. and see if that does anything or not.
I can mess with timing and carb yet and tweak it a little bit.
Uncorked exhaust is usually good for another 2-3 tenths and some mph

Your only picking up 19mph after the 1/8th. I pick up 23mph after the 1/8th. Most mustangs I have seen at least pick up 21 mph.

Uncorcked exhaust only helps if you have a restrictive exhaust system.

Me and my brother actuall ran a little slower.

You might get a fuel pressure guage and see what it's doing on the top end. You run 3mph faster in the 1/8th than me, but slower MPH in the 1/4.
