That's not bad I guess but it definitely has the potential to be faster, depending on exactly what the intake manifold/cam situation is currently. You appear to have launched well with the 2.0x 60 foot, so you're looking at power limiting you from running better. Exhaust setup looks good enough. I assume you don't know what cam you're running, but what intake manifold do you have? Stock junk from 305 TBI, with stock TBI setup? Lots of room for improvement on the intake side if so. Look into an aftermarket manifold.

Good kill on the Stang BTW.

I think I would just run something like a Performer or Stealth carb intake with a TBI adapter on it. Because I'm not aware of any particularly good TBI specific intakes.

I don't know if that motor has a roller cam or not, but I'd look into something fairly mild for the cam since the heads probably aren't that great and the springs likely won't support alot of lift anyway. Around a 214/220 @.050 with under .470 lift maybe or something along those lines. If it's a non-roller Summit sells a cam kit around that range for cheap. CompCams has a couple cams that would do pretty well too. If it's a roller you're stuck spending more money.

Your time isn't bad, but your trap speed seems kinda slow. When I ran a 15.9 I trapped only 3 mph slower than your 14.7 pass.
