Terry, which carb? It can be equipped with the small Rochester, 585 Holley or Q-Jet

I can offer this feedback from my Super 10 build with the Quick Fuel 585 carb. It is very strong between 7200 to about 8400 RPM. It will buzz to 8800 or more but power is falling off quickly.

I only recorded a few runs before having a problem that caused major damage. I am in the rebuilding now but may not be able to run it this season.

To give a guide as to power, in my S - 10 at 3170 pounds in 90 degree air [3200 adjusted air] it ran a best of 10.40

The rebuild will have some improvements and I expect it to run 10.15 - 10.20 in the same conditions..
