James is right in that it would be nice to have more specs on the Crane cam but based on the basics, he's right also in that you should run at least 14.0.
The PI will help with it's lighter weight but that's it. The stock CJ was similar except it was iron. Best iron intake ever made for an FE.
Driver skill has a lot to do with ETs. Especially with a 4 speed. Tires/traction are also a major factor. Tune condition and settings are extremely important.
So, I can tell you that I personally drove a '69 Fairlane Cobra SCJ, 3.91s, C-6, Thermactor pump removed, BF22 Autolite plugs, G70 X 14 Goodyear Polyglas GT tires, completely stock exhaust system all the way out the stock chrome tips that came in the trunk:
13.7 et/101 mph.
This was with the Cobra being literally new in the summer o-'69. Very consistent. Just found that leaving the column shift selector in -D-, ease it out of the hole a few feet and stab the pedal and hold on. Obviously very little skill required. |
