Me, Jay, and Woody have some ET numbers out there but its going to depend alot on suspension which will be addressed as well. It will have plenty of power.

Remember my 302 went 10.60 on a pretty basic setup.

I have a freshly rebuilt Art Carr C4 with manual reverse valve body and trans brake with an Ulitmate Converter Concepts converter waiting in the garage.
