Having 387hp @ 6000 rpms and 385tq @ 4500 rpms. Mind you i guestimated 10.5:1 compression and a full exhaust system.

If thats RWHP, then its quite possible. I know someone who made 365 RWHP on the dyno over the summer, and he's dipped into the 11's a couple times.

Re: 11's
No, haven't raced yet. I just feel that something is wrong with my setup. Used to pull hard to 6000 rpm and now, I don't have the pull any more and engine is breaking up bad around 5800 RPMs. Tested fuel pressure at WOT and is consistant 8 psi. Carter Race fuel mechanical pump. Changed plugs, wires and dizzy. Still no help.

I see you are using a flat tappet cam. If you where running alot harder before, you may have whipped one or more cam lobe(s)?.
How old is the engine?
