Whats happening guys. I usually post in the 4.6 side but I just bought a new toy and Im wondering where to go from here. It is an 86 4cyclinder with a 306 swapped in. It is a 5 speed tranny has 4:10 gears, ported gt40 heads, longtube headers, f-cam, edlebrock intake, msd, and has a nice carb. It ran low to mid 12's on mickey thompson drag radials, it dynod somewhere around 280 - 290 to the wheels and weighs 2700 pounds. what could I do to make it a better combination. Any help is appreciated

SPRAY IT

Probably go right into the 11's with a good shot of giggle juice
