Ian - depends which one you use - they were "changed" as time went on. The Hale calculator is the formula Moroso used.

What did it 60' and MPH at 1/8 and 1/4?

X2...............One of the calculators i looked at shows you may be a little light on the back half. If you didn't back out because of the 11.50 and your not over geared, timing and jetting will probably pick it up enough to get in the low 40's as it sits.
If you let off I can see it being at least 11.4 with 116-118 mph, but that combo is bigger then the 410 that Brian built and he ran 11 flat first time out then 10.9. I think your carb is not tuned to the best and maybe mess with the timing. Maybe that converter is not efficient?
Yes no tuning has been done just 33 deg timing and
950 QF
78 jets pri
86 jets sec
33 pri nozzle
35 sec nozzle
4.5 power valve
4.10 gears
28" hoosiers
Fresh 4200 stall from TCS
33* is not much timing for a sbm I've seen some run the best at 38-39* take advantage of doing some testing even 60ft and 330ft will give you the numbers your looking for starters. I agree the converter might be to tight.
I'm not a fan of the SV intakes unless you are spinning some big RPM. IMO, 6K on a 400-420 incher is not big RPM.
The car is a little weak in 60'. The front end of your car plays a bigger part in how it leaves than the rear. the converter is a huge part both here and the big end.
I don't know what you have for fuel lines, but, that will play a big role here as well.
If you chopped at 1000', take about .15-.2 off the time and add maybe 3-4 mph to your numbers as that's likely where it would have run.
IMO, that set up should run above 120mph in the 1/4, closer to 122 minimum. It should have a bunch more in it.
A bit of chassis tuning should see mid 10's at that speed.
Nice car.
