Most Under-Performing Musclecar Ever Produced?

Bobby Z,
Lots of things not right with the 426-S Street-Wedge.
10.0-1 compression
Small-port heads with 1.60 exhaust valves (same heads as the 361/265HP 2-barrel)
Weak single-coil valve springs
Mild hydraulic camshaft (.431/.431 lift)
Poor flowing exhaust manifolds
Restrictive cast iron intake
575 cfm AFB (too small) with 1 7/16" primaries x 1 9/16" secondaries (same size as the
little 273/235HP Commando)
What could have been?
They just flat out got creamed in C/Stock in 68', and D/Stock in 69'
Paul
