Beatiful car!! Tooley hand finished TFS 245s cfm numbers are go be a tad bit better that Total Engine Airflow website. He uses they CNC program and hands finish them himself. You may be able to get a idea flow number from Total Engine Airflow website.

Anyway I've seen his TFS 235s power a 402ci to 10.4s in the quarter in a 6 speed 3700lb WS6 back years ago. Car traps right at 133 mph!!

Best trap ive had is 132mph, and its only 2600lbs, and its a 416ci so seems like i should do better! I'm at 103mph 6.8 secs at the 1/8th (best ive done), its a 5 speed TKO box which is a little clunky. But its not a drag car its best at short circuit stuff, wooping Ferraris and Porkers etc is great fun!
I just would like to make it a little more street friendly (I know i want my cake and to eat it!) but i think the Darts might be a bottle neck that can be improved...

I'm betting with TFS245s and that LLSR mentioned by NAVY; that little red car should flirt with 140 mph

Well just think about that!! The WS6 is 1100 lbs heavier than your car and traps the same speed with less cubes. Can't go wrong TFS!!
