I will give you some MORE info that will make you think a little.It is still a little baffling to me.
My 60 ft time was a 1.43!!!It felt like stepping on a sponge out of the hole on the starting line.(Fuel WAY to heavy on the "launch" side.)I have been keeping it on the rich side and taking fuel out S L O W L Y !! (Afraid of torching a cylinder out of it!)
My 1/8th mile time was a 5.33 et.The car was haulin balls at this point.It felt like great power.(Doing some minor steering corrections all the way.)Thay means the car ran the LAST part of the 1/4 mile in EXACTLY 3 seconds! You can actually FEEL the weight of the car moving around past the 1/8th mile mark.
At roughly 1000 ft I feel the motor "bog down"/starting to "rumble".Fuel to heavy on the "big end".Need to take fuel out of the High speed bypass.
I did this with stock GM brakes on the front and 11" inch Mopar drum brakes on the rear.(Dana 60 Rear end.) I use factory DANA "hard" gears,NOT the soft ones.If I had a Manual transmission And launched it harder,I would probably need those nickle gears installed? Engine is 509 cubes
Eventually I want to run it again.Since then I changed intake manifolds (Taller runner type made by Indy cylinder head)and added some overdrive on the blower.That should take care of that Rich condition by adding more air.Gotta do some work to her to get it ready again.Cost WAY TOO much $$$$$ to play with it ALL the time.
My farmall Super M is MUCH more "cost effective".Gets a whole lot more work done for me.
