Darren: that thing looks a *tad* slow at the 1/8 mile mark...your mph at that point is a little short, but you need to be looking for mid-high 8's by that point, as by then that BBC should have a head of steam behind it. I'm wondering if Rusty isn't onto something and your distributor needs a recurve, 'cause it's not looking *too* shabby at the stripe? Put a timing light on it and see at what RPM all your timing comes in by...you have headers on that thing?

Yes Rob, headers... I didn't monkey with the timing at all and just ran it as it was. I pretty sure I need a lash adjustment as well..
