what are specs on cam and compression and how was your 60' foot time? I would think you could definitly get more out of that combo if all is tuned right.

looks like you need to do the driver mod now! drag racing a stick efficiently is difficult...

lol i guess it could be the driver mod. Especially with a t56. My cousin had one in his 69 nova and i drove it and that was the first time and 3rd is definitly bunched in there. After a few minutes I got used to it but some people catch on a lot quicker then others i guess.

Post the whole time slip, 103 MPH is definately enough to bust high 12's w/ a decent 60' time.

i can't remember exactly the cam specs but the lift was somewhere around 535 and the compression is 9.5:1. My 60' was 1.9. I had a chip burned for my combo

Mph seems low. You should be making at least 350hp at the motor. I think you should be up around 110.

Et really isnt too bad considering its stick. If it was auto, I think you wouldve been in the 12s.

Nevertheless, I think your short on some power.
