Super BD.
Is this at top boost at whatever the HC s/c does or did you modify it?
It's got a ported snout, 2.79 pulley (17-18psi), and blower spacers on pump E85.

Back when I was racing seriously some 50 years ago, I thought to be content w mid 13's with a 428 Cobra Jet. Well it ran 13.1 stock with 7" slicks.
So of course that wasn't good enough. Had to run 12's. Put in a cam, headers and 10" tires and it ran 12.2 or right on the C/Super Stock record at the time.
Then of course that wasn't good enough. Had to run 11's. So I re-did the engine. Higher compression pistons, ported heads, bigger headers and bigger cam bigger induction. Now ran 11.28 or, again right on the E/Super Stock national record.
So big shot me trailers across the country to run in Pomona at the Nationals there.
Make a few runs. Consistent 11.2's.
First draw in eliminations... Hubert Platt, in one of the 6 factory backed Cobra Jet Mustangs.
He goes 11.02 to my 11.18 or my best run to date. I get beat and it wasn't close no matter what the et. said.
I think Hubie got beat by Grumby Jenkins that day but I can't recall.
Come to find out, all of the factory backed Mustangs had 10.7-10.8 capability.
I saw his brake lights so as for him not to break out beyond the .2 NHRA allowed at the time.
So basically, I had the "not good enough" disease. I think it's a terminal condition cuz I still have it.
So here I am with this truck. Maybe high 13's with the work I did on it.. Originally I asked here about going 12's with the 360. Well, a 150 shot should do that.
That's not gonna be good enough is it?. Now I'm aching for 11.8's on a perfectly docile street truck.
Is there a hemi in my future?
Me.. I would want as simple an install as possible... like plug and play.
5.7 with a huffer maybe?
Keep up the good work BD. You have way more patience than I would ever attempt with a quality install such as you have and you deserve all the benefits you get..
Nice job!
Very impressive bud!
