Does anyone know what kind of ets that the bse "396" ran?

I didnt know there was a 396, the first iteration of the BSE ran what your small block does.

This is what I was refering to:
Racer1320's 396 combo:
402 w / 10.3 to 1 compression (calculated)
Edelbrock Performer RPM Q-Jet Manifold
Q-Jet carb w / 75 main jets and 45B rods, AX secondary rods on a G
hanger
1 3/4" primary tube headers w / 3" collectors (go with Dynomax) and
Flowmaster 4-2-1 collectors
Factory lifter valley heat shield
Factory carb heat shield and 1/2" phenolic spacer
Moroso 6-quart oil pan
Factory windage tray
TRW aluminum water pump
Factory 7 Blade thermostatic clutch fan
Dual point distributor
Ultradyne hydraulic cam - 280/288, 223/ 231 @.050 with .525/.550 ground
on a 110 LSA and installed on a 106 Intake centerline with matching springs
Crane long slot steel rocker arms
Factory balancer
Felpro gaskets
Turbo 400 with transgo shift kit full auto valve body
Factory deep pan
ATI 10" converter # 408360(73P)
12 bolt with 3.73 gears
stock front and rear suspension with 1 3/8" sway bars and No-Hop bars
Polygraphite bushings
3" head pipes with 3" crossover and 2 1/2" tailpipes with Flowmaster
Big Block Mufflers Series 50
Mallory Comp 140 fuel pump and regulator
Factory 4-core radiator
This combo was driven anywhere and with the Q-Jet got 13 MPG on the
highway. With this cam you shift @ 5800 and with this valve lift you don't need
a roller rocker. If it's a square bore carb you want then go with the HP
series from Holley and stay away from the Demon which I believe is
junk. If you have the $ and want to step up with the 396, I'd go with a roller
setup. The problem is though that nobody makes a roller small enough for this
combo but you might want to give Comp a call and see if they'll custom grind
you one. Tell them you want a cam that's 232 / 238 @ .050 with .633 / .640
lift ground on a 108 LSA. This cam doesn't exist but they can grind it and
it has my intake lobe as an exhaust lobe for your combo. Don't let them
talk you into anything else. This setup will be 4-5 tenths quicker in the
1/4 mile and make power in the same range. However I don't recommend this
for a daily driver rather for a weekend max effort car that will see regular
trips down the 1320. BTW, this setup will set you back $1000 for everything.
Still the key to everything here is having those heads done by the right
people. Ideally you are looking for a shop that builds stock and super
stock motors and this work should cost about $700. If you are assemblingthe motor make sure all your clearances are dead on.

Ed told me his 402 ran a best of 6.8?. Now weather or not the combo was exactly what you have listed here when he ran that ET I don't know.

Isn't that about what his current setup is running? I would think that if it was running anywhere near what you're at Chad, it would be impressive!

Sorry about that.

No problem, just looking to see what this combo was capable of.

Yea, after I got to thinking about it his 402 was running the 6.8 #'s after going to the roller cam that I have, but I believe his 402 combo had me out done in the head, converter, and maybe some lightweight rotating components. I have no idea what the base 396 ran. My best run to date is the 7.39 (mineshaft air mind you) , but I believe some head work and 8" converter might get me to the 7 teens.

Chad, that's awesome with a 'small' rat IMHO!
