The chevelle should've been faster than that. Maybe he didn't know how to tune his combo. My stock 74 duster with a /6 ran low 17's. Depends on what else was done, that 850 could've been to much carburetor, I've seen it before
Yes, the Holley 850 was too big and the combination was bad. The original QJ was much better, but all the racers ran an 850 double pumper. That is the point I was trying to make. One of the guys had a 4 cylinder Honda that was almost as fast.
