You should get that e.t. no problem. My 70 Cobra (3700#) with a 69 460 .040 over KB pistons, (12.5:1) Stock rods/crank, balanced with ARP fasteners, Gasket matched DOVE's Solid FMS cam .614/.614, Torker intake and 1000 hp Holley, C6 (footbrake) with a 10in ATI converter 9" and 4.30's went 11.30'-40's 118-119mph, dead on all day.

Thanks! That was race weight with me in it. It was a good combo, I went a lot of rounds with that car! With my 514 it went 10.20's. Tore has it now.

mine is a little heavier than yours. it weighed 4200 with a 351c in it. the only thing i did to liten it up is i put 2 racing buckets in it. i also got rid of the inner fenders and front bumper. i found a fiberglass hood for it to.
