ET isn't even close to MPH
What was your 60' time? Guarantee that is where your problem is. Still not bad for first time out . No offense but it sounds like the driver needs work. That car should run around 6.90's when you get it sorted out.

I've looked at the numbers. A 26" tire is definitely an option

When I first started racing I used 26x10 slicks, that happens to be the same size tire as Pro Stock Motorcycle. You will NOT like the look of that tire on your car, but it's just for racing..........

That's what size I run with 4.10's and a 4 speed. M&H slicks and MT street R (awesome street tire) . Fill the wheel well on a factory foxbody, lol.
 
If you want good ET's it's going to be a lot easier to get there with an auto swap. But you probably know that already. And it'll cost a lot to convert, unless you find a cheap powerglide and rebuild it yourself. Then you still need a good torque converter, shifter, driveshaft, trans blanket or shield, cooler... etc.
 
I just read through this thread and saw that it was 58 degrees out. Here in the south they would cancel a test and tune at that temp. Might not need to change much to get it to hook in good weather.

Well, you need tires anyway, so it would be a free gear change.
I think you said you trapped at 5600rpm. I'm sure somebody here knows the formula to see how much rpm you will gain.

No formula needed.

You can put in whatever info you want. Shift rpm, gears, trans, rear end, everything. Even compare one value to another.

@Fastfox750 if this car only runs a 6.90 I'll sell the piece of shit.

That's not how this stuff works.
You took the first step with the Vic Jr, next comes better heads.
