[killa camero]

I just came from Dyno session! I got good news and bad news.I have a sbc 434 that made 640hp+570tq. Here's the problem!When I made my 1st pull I only made 585hp+565tq.That equeats to a 10.20 at 130plus.BUT,in my 78camaro weighing 3000pounds with a 1.42 60ft.I only ran a 10.50 at 127mph!I'm missing 2tenths some where and it's not in the motor,it's in the car and I need to find it!!!.I have dynoed many motors and we have never been over a tenth off!The car has stock tank,holley blue pump,a big holley regulator,950BG,glide trans,with a funny fiber glass hood that has a dip around the front part of the cowl.If you have any serious helpful it would gladly be appreciated!! Thanks very much!!!!!!!

you could try a tranny swap , i know a few guys who switched from a glide to a turbo 400 or 350 and picked up a tenth or two .

I thought it was the other around?Most say use glide when under 3100pds.Plus it's gives more mph,better traction, and is lighter! But u could be right Mike!! But it is to much time,hassel and money for me to try that one!! Thanks for your reply Mike!!
