got burned but guy had a supercharger w/ full race slicks, i just had my old
street radials, had a blast though. My best time we didn't get on tape was a
14.56 @96.97, not bad for a mild 289

Sound like you had a good time and your car is very similar to mine. What's your intake setup like (carb, intake, heads)? Mild or stock cam?

A trac-loc and soft tires and your 60 and quarter times will drop nicely.

I have a Wieand single plane #7515 pretty old, Holley 4150 600 dp, I have stock cast c6oe 289 heads w/ stock 1.78/1.45 valve and roller rockers. It
has a mild cam but it's been 13 yrs since i put it in and I don't even remember what brand it is. Also run Tri-y's. I was pulling about 5200 rpm on shifts.

was that a 2.87 60' time? get some et streets or some drag radials and you be in the high 13's with a 1.95 60' or better

No, for some reason they show your r/t in full seconds. I had a .287 r/t and
a 60ft of 2.384 that pass. I got a best 2.336 on my best run..

the heads are what's holding you back...get a good set of free flowing heads and your time will really drop...i have a similar setup but with a few more mods and i run low 13's all day long..keep up the good work

IMO - keep that low rise single manifold. It will perform on the street and strip. I had that maniford on my 289 and 302 in the 80's and just returned to it in the 00's (have tried stock iron, performer, something similar to a RPM, victor jr). I will agree with Matt performance heads will make a big difference.
