387” W2 Stroker, What should I upgrade next?

Yes I might go 4.10s with the 27”drag radial,
I haven’t raced this car yet but I probably will in the next season (HOT street/street strip is my intent)

The car runs decent with the carb that’s on it- 12.5 to 13.2 afr at wot and cruises around 13-15 afr, I might be able to go 1 jet richer just to be safe but it seems to run pretty snappy as is as far as the tune and doesn’t break up or bog when its up to temp, it does get full throttle etc. Punch the throttle and it goes. the distributor has an advance limiter plate and light springs in it, so it has full advance pretty much just off idle, 35* total timing, Hirev 7500 ignition box and matching pertronix coil etc.

I’m looking at this Lunati voodoo solid cam since I’ve had good results on other engines:

Voodoo Solid Flat Tappet Cam - Chrysler 273-360 288/296

050 (Int/Exh): 259/267
Gross Valve Lift (Int/Exh): .586/.606 LSA/ICL: 110/106 ;Valve Lash (Int/Exh): .016/.016 ;RPM Range: 3000-7200

3.90’s to 4.10’s is not worth the effort and not much of a gain. Hence my recommendation of 4.30’s or 4.56’s and the tire should be a 28”.

Brian Hafliger’s low trans first gear set swap is not a normally seen route, I do have to say I like it a lot. Since the ratio of the first gear will also act like you changed the rear gear out of the hole, where it really counts most.
