I finished building a new combo in late summer and was only able to get it to the track twice. I'm starting to make plans for next year and I could use a little advice.
First, the combo:
1985 Mustang (heavier than stock), 402 stroker, 10.2:1 compression, DART 195CC heads, solid roller cam, 241/241, 0.609" lift, LT headers, 3" exhaust, C4, 3000 stall, 4.10 gears, 26x10 slicks.
I tried a couple carbs (650dp and 750dp) and got a best of 12.15 at 114mph w/1.74 60-ft. The car does not have a transbrake and seemed to have a soft launch. It seems like the car should have more in it, but I didn't get much time to play with the tune.
I'm thinking a higher stall convert, possibly a transbrake, and finally a bigger carb. Any advice or comments?
BTW, I would like to thank the guys at DART for a superior product. This was the second set of heads that I purchased from them and I couldn't be happier with the quality!
