Here is the combo:

67 Chevelle with full trim
355 w/ flat tops
vortec heads, 9.5 to 1
lunati 10010 Hydralic cam, .480 lift , 230 @ .050
1.5 Roller Rockers
MSD Ignition
Eddy mechanical fuel pump.
600 CFM Edelbrock 1406
RPM Air Gap
1 5/8" headers w/ 2 1/2" duals
Tremec 5 speed w/ 355 gears, eaton posi
BFG drag raidals

Warm weather best was 13.29 @ 103. Picked up 5 MPH when I changed out the 75 CC heads and performer manifold for Vortecs and air gap manifold. I recently replaced the flex fan with electric and installed an H-Pipe in the exhaust. The car runs better in cold weather, but launching will be the challenge. I'm looking to break into the 12's but don't think an electric fan will do it. Going next weekend to find out.

With traction, you will get the 12 sec. timeslip graemlins/thumbsup.gif

you're running that good with a 600 Edelbrock? that's impressive. if you lived close to me i would let you try my 3310 Holley, it picked my similarly equiped combo up by .2 in the 1/8mi. i did have 4.10 gears though.

Yes, it runs pretty good for a 600 CFM Carb. Top end is not real strong and I think a larger carb may help. I'm trying to see what I can get out of this carb before making any changes. We will see next week.
