Fastest TBI 3rd gen ever?!

At GLD on May 7, 2006

12.167 @ 111.42


383 SBC

Holley projection 4di (4 barrel TBI)

465 HP / 472 TQ

No power adders

Retired this setup to build a bigger engine; then got married, had kids, remodeled house.

The new engine exceeds capacity of TBI, switched to carb and running E85.

656 HP and 570 TQ

After a 7 year break I will be out this spring to see what it does.

wish me luck !

My 423hp 305 was quicker and faster..... 11.83 @ 119.1 on a 1.95s 60

Good luck with the new setup.

What was your setup like? I know all the engine specs, but nothing about the rest of the car.

Well I guessed that much. What transmission, gears and tires did it have?

I'm getting ready to tackle a 310 build in a few months (bottom end of my stock motor is showing its age), but my car will be set up for all-around performance and handling rather than straight-line performance, so I'm not expecting 11's
