See super stock racer John Douglas in Tampa, let him Dyno motor & look at car . He will have you running 10.50 in no time. You may have wrong first gear in trans, wrong rear end gears, wrong tires on rear, wrong drive shaft angle eating horse power, brakes not releasing like they should, etc, etc. If the motor makes 480 hp on dyno it will push 3100# car 10.60 if nothing is wrong in car. But till you know HP.' & torque & where the peak of both are at you have no clue . Is it the car or is it the motor? What is the weight of the car? Does the body flex?
