Sounds about right to me, that's a 12.40 ET when converted to 1/4 mile using NHRA correction factor. Could be up to 1/2 a second faster if you ditch the Predator carb and the totally lousy Torker intake for something like an Performer RPM or Air Gap type intake, or a Victor Jr, and a carb in the 700-800 cfm range, my preference is a Holley type carb.

I've tried the Predator carb before , years ago, and it did exactly what I was told it would do: decent idle, great at WOT and 7500 rpm, but a dog up the rpm scale in every gear until it got to a high rpm in each gear. Great carb for jet boats or 300' course mud racer where you are at high rpm instantly, terrible for street or strip use.

I agree I`d get rid of the Torker and use a Victor Jr. I like predators, but I think a Holley or Demon would be better suited for you. If you get one with annular boosters your gonna love it.

How bout a strip dominator intake they any better i traded a buddy out of one awhile back ?

[ericnova72]

A Strip Dominator(and not Street Dominator) is a real good intake, look for the #'s 300-25 cast on the underside. You'll still need to get rid of the Predator carb.

Had Strip Dominators on my 327 AND my 427, GREAT intakes,

I would say your car has more left in it. I would figure you should be able to get in the 7.60 range. I went 7.98 at 87 with a 355 and 492 heads in a 3000 lb mustang
