Hey guys,

Just ran our new car at the track this weekend 1971 Ranchero (Tube chassis, assuming about 2500 lbs with car and driver) with a modified 390, 428 crank, Ross racing pistons (12.5:1 CR) Comp Cams .748 lift I & E 283 Duration at .050 Roller Cam and lifters, Milodon gear timing set (I know George ... I upgraded) Edelbrack Perfomrer Heads with the 427 Victor Aluminum Intake, Ferrea Valves, Harland Sharp Roller Rockers, MSD distributor with lightest springs and red bushing, an MSD Ignition 7AL-3 ignition with a 1050 cfm Holley double pumper. Running 34 degrees total advance.

Put 5 full runs on it hitting 127.841 mph for the fastest speed and 10.27, 10.37, 10.39, 10.43 and 10.44 et. (Unfortunately we had 20mph head winds both days). Shifting at 7000 rpm and hitting 7000 at the traps. BTW the 10.27 was run without a hood after it blew off LOL :-)

Any ideas what more or less to expect out of this setup? If more is expected what would you recommend looking at on the engine? Assuming the chassis is as good as it can be. I know we have a lot of playing to do yet on the chassis.

Thanks in advance

Dallas
