Rod: 350HP and 3600LB = 12.20 should be attainable.

Our Aspen Wagon NOP Stocker with 318 that put out actual
340 HP and weighed 3600 plus held the record @ 12.0 over
ten years ago.and ran 11.70 to 11.80 when needed.

It is an Auto so not comparable on ratios but shows what can be done on that HP/Weight.2.75 Low and 5:13 gear at Sea Level. 14.11 ratio and I think that stick would need a bunch more without a torque converter. 9.0x30 Radials (92.5 Cir.)
