My best...
 

My car has full interior other than front race seats, could be street driven with the exhaust bolted back on and street tires, but I have not driven on the street since I broke-in this engine in March 2006. March 2006 in street trim with full exhaust including over the rear tailpipes, 265/95 M/T street ET radials and #62 D-ports it went 11.52 @ 117 (1.66 60'). After swapping converters and removing the exhaust I was able to get a best of 10.99 @ 121.7 (1.52 60') at VMP's PIP race 19 May 2006. 1 July 2006 I swapped on a set of Edelbrock aluminum heads. I have been running the same engine combo 463/E-heads since 1 July 2006. 300+ passes on the shortblock, 200+ passes on the heads

The GTO in my sig ran 13.50@105 with 2.93 gears, L88 converter in a Th400, performer intake and 850 mechanical demon, on 87 octane. No times with 3.42 gears, RPM, or ethanol.

The Formula hasnt made a full pass with the 467 yet. best 1/8 mile was a 7.40 using only 3rd gear and going easy on it. Hoping for 9s on the motor when its sorted out.

Previously the iron headed 455 in the Formula ran a best of 11.71@115 1/4 mile, 7.69@90 1/8th with 4.10 gears, and 7.51@95 1/8 with 3.42 gears. It was severely over geared with the 4.10 gears. Weight with the iron heads and steel hood was 3750 going down the track with 5 gallons of fuel. It was street driven and had 15in vacuum at idle, very mild mannered except for the race gas.

The 72 455 HO Formula ran a best of 13.0 with the previous owner EnergyFx driving. What I know about it at that point was a TorkerII with 800 Edelbrock carb, Hooker super comps headers with mandrel bent 3" exhaust, 3000 stall in the Th400, and 3.70 gears, weight is around 3800lbs. It has a solid cam but I dont know the specs on it, if Ja sees this maybe he will chime in with whats all in it. I think it will go faster with a different intake, carb, a bit less gear like a 3.42, and I am thinking either a RAIV cam or a Crower hydraulic cam of similar size.
