My 71 steel crank heavy rods 440 has 452 heads (stock ports and valve train, Comp springs, locks and retainers). Edelbrock/Chrysler aluminum 6bbl intake w/3x2 Promax modded Holley carbs.
1 7/8" TTi headers. I know the cam is a Purple Stripe, and a few people think it's a .509 292.
Before I changed the weak springs on the heads to the Comp springs, right when the 440+6bbl would really start to come on strong, around 3,800 RPMs, by 4,800 it fell on its face, but I felt like the best was above that.
So I had my springs checked and they were way down on pressure, open and closed, so that is when I got the Comp gear. New hydraulic lifters and pushrods too, along with the springs.
Anyway, I'm telling you all of that because my engine really seems to want to pull to 6,200 although my shift light is set at 5,800 and the limiter set to 6,200.
I've had really bad 60' times, in the low 2 second range because of traction problems. My 1320 MPH is 106.
How did you get into the high 11s with a similar engine.
