Let the guessing begin! 540 BBC, Dart 325, 252/260 flat tappet cam, 8-71 Kuhl, Enderle gas Bird, Lenco clutch/ 2speed at 31%, 32 gear. I figure 9 second class and tune with the blower pulleys.

I would expect that on alcohol, but I'm running gas. This boat was run in a 7 sec. class by Chuck Shelton out of Virginia or thereabouts in the late 80's.

Get over it Jim, You're gonna go quicker then a 9!
If you only wanna run in the 9's you will have to leave off a few plug wires. haha
I say in the mid 8's with a very very soft tune up.
