Paul,

Bone stock with some tuning, on street tires it ran high 16's but every launch was scary, never new when the rear end would give up.

With a 4 bbl manifold, small Carter, cam and homemade headers we got it down into the mid 15's with Atlas bucrons. Oiling was a big problem, if it got starved or oil was low you would lose no. 6 cyl but the starter usually kept the piston from going thru the hood....lol!
