So we moved to Texas, I ran the truck @ 450 feet elevation, 2000 DA with the 327 which resulted in a 12.13 @ 107+ with a 1.63 60. at this point I knew the truck would never run 11s in the heat so I decided to build a 350 hoping this would put it into the 11s. Notice my ET @ Kearney 2130 feet 12.80 dropped to 12.13/7.63 @ Little River 450 feet. My drive line losses were showing what every bit of extra power was worth.

1320/107.5 = 12.27 much better at this point, but far from done..........
