I dont think you should hold is 13 second torino against him..

They are huge cars...

and like what was said you are not sure what he had under the hood..
13 second 302 torino is a good run

I run a Holley 950HP it came jetted 79 square with 6.5 PV front and back. I blocked the back and went to 87 jets.
I ran it like this for 2 years on my old 351W combo that ran 7.40's/7.50's and the car was deadly consistant. If it ran 7.52 on the last time run it would run no faster than a high 7.50 after 6 rounds, never ran out in 2 years
With my new combo it has run out to weeks in a row.
This past week it went a 6.983 last time run 6.982 first round and then a 6.937 second round. I can't believe that a carb that was borderline lean on the old motor is rich on the new motor.
Thinking about going down 2 jet sizes front and back to 77/85 what does everyone think.
