2" spacer equals too much plenum volume which helps to kill the launch though and the cam is too big at .050.

That said, the quick fix is more gear or a 3 speed trans and a shorter tire.

Here's an example of a 3160 lb. footbrake launched ride slowed every week to run low 10.0s with a sbc under the hood backed by a 1.80 1st gear glide that leaves with a best 60 foot to date of 1.27 and has run 9.77 @ 138+ with a manifold having less plenum volume than yours and no 2" spacer
