Eric, I believe the car weighs 3600 w/out me in it. Here are the numbers from the last run:
60'...1.831
330...5.184
1/8...7.905
MPH...89.35
1000..10.281
1/4...12.281
MPH...112.89
I ran pump gas with octane boost, timing was at 39*, no air cleaner or spare tire with 15.5 lbs of air in the rear tires.

Kurt;
You're picking up 23.5 mph on the back half which is pretty good for this combination.
Pick up that 60' time ~.2 and 11's are in the bag. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]
-Is the car dead-hooking? If so, does it bog at all on the launch?
-For comparisons sake: what were the 60' times with the 780/163? (can't remember, does the 163 still have the plenum divider intact?)
-Did you change the rear gears and intake/carb at the same time?
-Is the timing locked out @ 39°, or is there a functioning curve? If so, what are the #'s?
-Have you done A-B-A testing with/without the air cleaner to verify it is faster w/o?
-What's the pump cam/squirter combo on the carb? (4781?)
-Shocks/springs/sway bar(s)?
-Any front or rear suspension traction aids? (appears the car leaves pretty level now, unusual for a "stock" A body)
In case I haven't said so lately, I seriously dig that car. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/burnout.gif[/img]
