A couple things I noticed, the edelbrock heads don't flow worth a crap. I had those same ones. That cam is very small, and a little more stall in the converter. When your at the track do you remove the front sway bar?

? i think some more stall is a good idea since im gonna have to swap the trans soon. What kind of gains do you see in your 60ft/et with a disconnected sway bar?

What altitude are you at?

Re: First time to the strip, times and setup how can i improve?
i talked to my engine builder today and we came to the conclusion that the trans was done/getting worse seeing as my first run was the best. I am pretty set on a tko600 which means my setup can be extremely streetable, my altitude was 550 feet, it was 95 degrees and humid as hell.

Re: First time to the strip, times and setup how can i improve?
you'd need a cam with more lift id say or you could try some 1.6 rocker arms. other than that a 12.6 is pretty good id say. did u hook up? For carb jetting do the primaries by plug color and jet the secondaries for maximum MPH (not et) keep going up on the secondary jets until the MPH stops improving then go back a step
