You can maybe compare the mph to rpm and see if you had any significant tire slippage. I think on a 3.90 in 4th at 5252 rpm you should be like 102 mph or so. Normally you will get a few % points in slippage.
Today was the real, first trip out in the car. Took Taylor for a ride first, got into it in 2nd a couples times... Let's just say she doesn't quite care to get back in it for a little while 😅. Took another drive a little later, stopped and filled it with some of that gourmet maize fuel. Had a few people that wanted to act up a bit around it, but with no tire under it yet, I'll refrain from those activities 🙃. Need to change the oil and get a fresh set of plugs in it, but wooooh, is it fun. Thing pulls like a freight train!
Based off of the ole’ 2hp per cfm of flow method, you should be able to get 550 wheel, but that’s assuming everything else is on point, including the tune. The 220’s are a terrific head as cast, but you might consider getting them worked to move more air. With the 245’s, your there no problem and more. Don’t over-cam the engine. especially with the high-ram. In my opinion, tune is everything. Don’t skimp on the tune and grab the absolute best tuner you can acquire.
I agree that the nitrous port on the exhaust is a must.
Nitrous port? On the EXHAUST? Please clarify for the potentially ignotant.....
Tooley and Paris developed a "nitrous" exhaust port back in the day at TEA.. That's the 50° seat angle and some other work to the exhaust to gain tremendous amounts of flow.

Oooookaaaay! Gotcha! Thanks for clarifying. Didn't want to think I was hallucinating.... LOL!
