What is the stall on the converter, what's it geared, and what does it weight?

I will guess, if you can hook, 11.30s-11.40s at 120 mph.

What can I do to hit the 10s? Even if its a 10.99 would 100 shot help much or would different gears get me there? I might add it has headers, true duals, milled heads, emissions delete, and 305 tires.

Not too be the kinda guy that says "told you so" but if the trans and rear are stock then it won't like it for too long.

Just something to consider...

Thanks, I've still got a ways to go... My long block will be done soon. After i get my heads back from getting milled then I have to figure out how to measure the pushrod length. Then once those are figured out its back to bodywork
