I raced a few with my chevelle and smoked them...at least I think they were 455s in them. That was when I had a mild 350 and was only running around 8.5-8.8 in the 1/8th...not sure the 1/4 since I never ran it at a 1/4 track at the time but my car had a high gear (3.08 at the time) and was hell on the top end so I would say mid 13s. I dont know the numbers but I dont see a 2 barrel carbed 455 making those numbers. Maybe with a nice came, intake, exhaust and a good 4 bbl but not as it sits. Replys:
