It's working good Joe. I finally ditched the 396. On the freshen we foud the factory crank to be cracked in 4 or 5 different places. Found a virgin 454 block, bored it to .030, 10.5:1 compression, brodix aluminum oval port heads, and our same little street roller cam, dual plane intake, and 750HP holley from the 396. At ~3700 we have run a best of 6.56 @ 103 with a 1.38 60' down at Farmington. Took a while to get it all dialed in suspension wise but it works pretty darn good now. Still on the little 9" radial and a lot of stocker tricks to get her to hook. Kind of a silly way to bracket race but it sure makes for a lot of fun and I have learned a lot doing it this way.
