    compression somewhere around 11:1. stock suspension. i ran it before i got the gears and the big stall. it started clanging real loud when i stalled. so i nailed it. hoping it would just blow up since i was mad. pulled back to the pits and pulled the passenger valve cover and the front 4 rocker arms hit the ground. ran a 13.20. havent ran it since then

    Well it should run a little better with the rocker arms back on :) Good luck and have fun, we might have to drop our guess a little lets say a 12.85 but hope you do better than that :thumbs2:
