What Times to expect when right?

I am trying to get my car running right. I am having a bit of trouble right now. I am having a little bit of pushrod/valvetrain trouble right now.What do you think my car should run if it was running right (street tires!).

--------1970 Mustang Coupe. 302 (.060 over), Edelbrock Performer RPM heads (1.90i 1.60e), Comp Cam (.493 .500), Edelbrock 4v 600cfm carb, Performer RPM intake, MSD Pro Billet Distributor (w/ blaster 2 coil and 6A box), 8 inch 3.00 gears, C-4 tranny (stock converter), X-pipe, 1-5/8 headers, Flowmaster mufflers

I will let you know when I get it all right!! Before I did the head and cam, I ran like a 9.6 in the eighth.

Can't tell you what it'll run. I can tell you that the 3.00 gear and stock converter are gonna kill it.[img]/phpBB/images/smiles/icon_cry.gif[/img]

I would think 8.80-8.90 in the 1/8. We did the same thing several years ago with out bracket maverick, the heads alone were worth .8 sec at a 1000' track. Cam was another .15, converter to match was .1. Total, we picked up just over a second with just heads, cam, and converter. I also agree, the 3.00 gears and stock converter will kill the 1/8 ET, but mph will be impressive.
