Yes Paul Built me a great motor, when we discussed the build it I told him I wanted to run 12.50's as my old motor was a best of 12.81.

I'd say you have a lot left in the car, ET wise.
Probably with some good slicks would be a lot quicker.
What is the stall on the converter?
It's a 11 year old Continental convertor , the Jim Hand style that flashes around 3,300

Last time I tried it just blew the tires off, but plan on trying it at the next trip to the track .

Nice combo ....its getting the job done! I think with some tuning, you can get in the 11's! Most fun I ever had racing was in the low 12's high 11's...
