My junk was not built to run Normally Aspirated. My motor was not a good combo. I wanted to upgrade cylinder heads and I knew I wasn't gonna keep the smaller Big Block so I bought way too much head for a 468 so it was a pig on the Motor. I used to run 9.20's at 143 mph N/A with the same short block and a better combo in a 2800lb car that was a little more aero dynamic than the truck. My truck may still not be back together anytime soon. (issues on the home front) But the new motor should run low 9's N/A with the right convertor. I'm know the tight nitrous convertor will slow it down but to be able to spray a 300 to 500 shot it will have to have it.
