That index in Pure Stock is 12.75 if he can get it down to a race weight of 3570. Again, I know nothing about these cars and I may looking at the wrong numbers but with a good set of headers, 4.56 gear, loose converter, and slicks wouldn't this be attainable?

I don't believe you would want to go as deep as a 4.56 with a 455 Olds
