I dropped the horse power to about 500, with lower compression, "softer" Holley carbs and a more mild cam. I couldn't be happier. Was running 11.90 and now running 11.99. In both cases a nice easy launch and NOT trying to set any records. It's "fast enough", gets better mileage and is totally "street friendly"!

I don't think your first engine had 600 HP, or anything close to it. If it did, you should be running about mid 10 sec 1/4's @ 130 mph on street tires.
