Re: going to the track sat but another what will she run gue
your in London, we race at Delaware so where are you racing what's the schedule? With the set up you have it should be fun to see what you can do with it. You're basically in a no lose position...

when you're looking for a new rear let me know cause I might be able to help you. I also have a friend who has a couple of daughters racing and he is known for setting up cars for the track. He is also known for his carb magic and can built you a qjet to match any engine you have...he's got my carb as we speak and I don't even drag race..

Re: going to the track sat but another what will she run gue
I have a 327 with that 280 Comp Cam(great cam!) and almost identical heads etc....and i can tell you that the 280 Comp Cam comes alive at 2500 rpm and pulls like a b*st*rd up to about 6000-6500 rpm.I had a 2500 stall in my turbo 350 which
worked perfectly with the cam.I had 3:08 gears and it was a dog.I changed those out for 4:56 and it was a rocket......light to light,forget any highway.I later replaced those with 4:10's and that was a very nice set up(not great
for a very long highway cruise but i rarely hit the highway.I have since sold the '66 Chevy II SS that i had that in,but i
have saved the engine,transmission etc and will be putting it all in my '81 El Camino later on this year.
Anyway,my point being your set up is quite nice but those 2:73's will disappoint you for sure with that cam....be sure
to post your times because i am very curious to see what she does!

one good thing with those gears you won't run out of motor...and you'll have fun doing it.

my car, 350, flattop pistons, 282S (solid cam, equivalent to the 284H), holley 750, single plane intake, crappy stall (stalls to about 2000rpm), and 3.42 gears
ran 13.6@103mph on tires. There was no traction on the 60ft, had to put 150lbs on the trunk to manage under 13.9sec
ran 13.1@105mph on slicks, could probably see a 12.9sec with shorter slicks
I say... if it's your first time out with that setup, you're using street tires, and your 2.73 gearing... you should see mid to low 14s.
once you get some practice and get familiar with the car (tune, shift points, launching), you should see high 13s on tires. Mid to low 13s on slicks.
