Concerned with my ET times
Alright, I've got a 468 bbc with a 1050 cfm quick fuel technology drag race carb with 90/94 jets on it. I don't understand why I'm only running 8.145 in the 1/8 with a 85mph trap. I'm new to the drag racing world but I feel these number should be WAYYYY better.
Transbrake on a Powerglide and launch at 3200 RPM.
Rips through low gear like I'd expect, air shifter shifts perfectly at 6k RPM and then it acts like a turd in high gear.

you did not say the cars weight, rear gears ratio,no info on engine so going to be a very hard question to answer. a note to you about your jets, you have 4-barrels in the carb to feed 8 cylinders, your primary jets are smaller than your secondary, I always corner square the jets (all jets same size) good luck with your ride.
