My 352 is pretty stock except for headers, and the 4bbl adapter with the 750 Holley on it. I put a 4 spd in it and it has 3.25 gears out back. It ran low 18's. ya, nothing to sneeze at. I was shifting at 3200 rpm and going thru the traps at about 3200 rpm. It just does not pull any harder higher up in the rpm band. Just makes more noise. I was just kinda walkin' it off the line so not to smoke the clutch or hop the rear tires off the ground.
Not to worried about this truck going fast...have my '69 to do that in

That looks like a Comp Cams cam, are you sure it wasn't .468" lift? Because that would match the 33-221-3. I ran desktop dyno with that, and came up with 304hp @ 4500, and 416ft-lbs @ 2000 rpm.
I dont think you have a chance. Change your gears to 3.73's or 3.89's. This will make a HUGE difference.
Also, with a 600cfm 4-barrel in the desktop dyno, I'm showing 320hp @ 4500&5000rpm (it's the same at both rpm's) and 423ft-lbs @ 2500 rpm.
Change your gears and I think you can beat him. Otherwise, when you shift into high gear, it's just gonna shut down.

My truck with a stock worn out 360 ran an 18.4 in the quarter. I can see a shortbed 390 truck running low 16s maybe. I'll tell you this: There is one heck of a humongous, mind boggling difference between an 18.4 and a 14.5 second quarter. I cross the 1/8th at about the same speed now as I did the quarter with the 360.
