New Best (NA) TWS and I went to SAR tonight to make a few passes. Last time out I was running low 12's with a finickey tranny. Tonight everything acted the way it should, thanks to John Goebel.
I'll keep this short and not list every run
New Best 60'...............1.609
New Best 1/8 ET..........7.409
New Best NA 1/8 MPH...92.78
New Best 1/4 ET..........11.630
New Best NA 1/4 MPH...119.21
All passes were made with 28" rear tires and going through the traps at around 5800 RPM. 3525 Raceweight
Now if I hadn't forgotten my NX Bottle at work I might have gotten my 10 sec pass, but I will leave that for another day.

Nice times man. Those 28" tall tires on 3.73 gears are probably holding you down from really getting into your powerband at the big end of the track. You probably know that already though.
Question, why is it your calling your transmission a 4 speed power glide LOL.

The reason I call it a 4spd powerglide is that is the easiest way to describe the way my tranny controls the fluid and the shifts. It has a custom built front pump assembly by John Goebel.

When my engine builder suggested the cam I was very concerned that it was to small, I was replacing a H/C setup that was running a 238/242 .568/.568 110LSA, but I am now glad I trusted him. The car is a very civil/streetable combo that can run pump gas in 100 deg Tex Heat with no probs.
