68 Dart first time out
Rather than start a new thread lets see if I can revive this one. I'm ready to make the car faster. Based on the info below can I tune it up? Is it time for some head porting? Or Do I need a bigger badder enging like Brian just built in Car Craft? Lets put the target on the 11.50et mark, don't need more than that on this car. How much HP needed? I'm open to superchargers, and nitrous:D
Would love to here comments on the car like if the numbers all add up. Do you think the motor and car is are working efficient. Is there some tuning in order. Keep in mind the car is a street/strip combo.
Since I didn't build this engine/car I dug up all the paper work to get the specs. Most all the work was by previous owner kind of a budget stroker. Here is the motor specs based on the receipts given to me.

Can't really stall up the motor on launch or it will spin the tires
leaving the line at about 1000RPM them hammer it. This will normally keep the rear tires hooked.
