    Nice!!

    I ran a DSS 331 with the Anderson N-91 cam and the Parker Funnelweb intake hooked to a TKO 500 trans and 4.56 gears. It was a very healthy combo, especially 10 years ago when i had it.

    I ran a parker on my last mustang with a 306/Auto and 3.55 gears.Out ran a supercharged fox body with it..loved the way it ran so I wanted to duplicate the build but with more cubes this time

    I had my setup in a '85 Mustang GT street car. It weighed 3,100 with me in it (I weighed 230). I ran a best of an 11.22 @ 122 MPH on 27 x 10.5 x 15 MT ET Streets. I outran many power adder cars with that combo on the street. After we would run many thought I had nitrous on the car and I would have to show them that I didn't.

    As I said before it was a pretty fast street car 10 years ago.

    Nice, I had to pop the hood a few times just to show I was running a small block. I was running all electric accessories and a Danny Bee belt drive. Wish I still had that car

    Cool!

    Always fun to have a car that runs much better than most people expect!

    Pretty little engine.. you should be proud.

    The N91 Greg mentioned above will get you closer to that 500 mark and compliment that large runner manifold(very similar to a Super Vic). Otherwise think closer to 450-460'ish. Either way.. the ET(or trap speed if you can't hook it up) will tell you the true story and all the rest is just bragging rights. These cars are light so you have it easier than most crash rated cars. lol
