Here is my set up. 1965 Barracuda. 3500 lbs with driver. 3.79 stroke 20 over bore 340 = 392 CI. J & E flat top pistons pushed out of the deck 20 thousands. Eagle H beam rods 6.123 long. This gives me 13-1 comp. W-2 ported heads with 2.08 intakes and 160 exhaust. 950 HP holley on a ported strip dominator manifold. Comp cam grind # TL295S-6. This has 267 int. 274 exh. duration @ 50. Valve lift with 1.5 rockers lift is intake .570 exhaust .572 installed @ 106 center line. Car has 4:88 gears, 727 trans, ladder bars, Turbo Action trans brake, Turbo action 4200 stall convertor and 11.5 x 29.5 x 15 slicks.
I launch at 4200 shift at 5800 and go through the traps at 6700. Run best of 10:70 @124 mph My best 60 ft was a 1.43
 
Thats a nice little package ya got there. I am curious about something though, have you ever tried upping your shift points? With all that good stuff it seems sure it'd like more RPM.
 
I started higher 6200. It just got faster as I brought the RPM down then it leveled off. Brut Hp and Torque. Very consistant. Long living also. This was set up to make all its HP around 6000 and live for lots of rounds. I have done the high RPM scene. Take cash to keep up with maintenance on high winders. Low RPM runs much cheaper.
Forgot to add. I'm using VP113 oxygenated fuel also. I only got to race twice last year. Went 3 rounds on 1st weekend and to the semi finals the next. Very consistant setup is all I can say. 60 fts' don't very maybe 5 to 7 thousands on any given day. Et's may vary 3 to 5 hundredths on any day depending on weather. Just have to a better job as a driver now.

Yup, I hear ya. My old 360 ran 11.0's and teens shifting at 6000. ran that motor for 5 full seasons and about 1100 runs on the same bearings and timing chain. Nothing like longevity. :-D
