ive seen people with over 580rwhp at 3400lbs only go mid 11s if you want to talk about under achievers.
i wasn't trying to insult you with the world is flat comment. so im sorry about that.
with your car I would expect to see 115+ mph with that kind of power assuming its 3200lbs or so. could be something as simple as how the valvesprings are setup. a couple little simple things can kill an NA car. its tough to shake it down away from the track. 110mph is good for 12.20s though.
Looking forward to seeing that!! You definitely have the power for better times.Yea, I think there is a lot that I’m leaving on the table with the car. The car should be getting a new transmission this winter that will better handle the power, and if money permits, new lightweight wheels to replace the 28 lb replica Mach 1s. Then I’m going to track the crap out of the car next season and see if I can’t post some better times/speeds.
I think a vic jr Iits all about booster signal. that combo would probably run fine with a dominator, it has so much signal its crazy. if it were mine I would put a vic jr and a good 750 4150 like a quickfuel or AED and watch it go 11s. we had issues with three holley 4150s with a 10:1 358" Cleveland headed Windsor with a decent restrictor intake and a decent sized flat tappet cam. it wouldn't even run right with a new 650HP. the 650HP, a good known 750 HP, and an 830 that ran good on a 347 with small heads all had a stumble out of the hole on the secondary side. all these carbs went 7.30s@95 in the 1/8th. then we unhooked the secondaries on the 830 and the stumble went away. the car went 7.20s@93 like that. then we bolted on my AED 750 HO modified, adjusted the idle and made sure everything was adjusted correctly. the car went a 6.88@98mph with it setup the same as it came out of the box from summit. so there is a little more to carbs than just having the 'right' cfm rating.
im gonna have to disagree with ya. its about finding the right size based on displacement, induction cross section, compression, camshaft, vehicle weight, gearing, and converter.

Doesn't matter IMO how big a carb or TB on a motor. It's only going to flow as much as the intake/heads are going to allow it. You can slap on a dominator carb on a stock 302 with E7s and it is not going to make more power than a 600 holley, just as if you put a 90MM tb vs. a 65MM.
