Dan,
I think if you're running right, high 11's will be no problem.....loosen up that converter another 500-1000 rpm and mid to low 11's could be realized.
As a note, I ran the next size smaller flat tappet cam on a 350 over a decade ago, I will say, I never really got that motor going strong, I'm not necessarily blaming the cam, but I would consider upgrading to a hyd roller cam, especially considering you already have the new stroker motor out.... would be easy. But regardless, I think easy 11's are in your future.
good luck !
Thanks! I had been thinking of going up a little on the converter but I am afraid a higher stall will tear my D36 to hell. I'm getting a 1.7 60ft time with my current setup, power limited as it dead hooks on Nitto drag radials. I'm thinking I'll get a 1.6 or possibly a 1.55 with the new setup and the 2800 stall and that is max for a D36. Running the 3.07 gear so that helps a little for survival. I am afraid a higher stall will yield me 1.5 or 1.4 60ft times if the tires stick and that will likely split my centersection. I'm thinking I better wait till I can afford to upgrade to a D44 or a solid rear before I up the stall any more. What do you think?
