Great to see someone working on getting down the track quickly!
Here's a great thread with some very solid tips from RobZ and others. The OP went from I think 11.7's to 10.6's if my memory serves with some driving tips.

I do know my tune is off, since it was tuned I have put 3.90s in it and 2" primary tube headers with 3" x-pipe. Plus I just feel like the tune isn't spot on. Previously it put down 476 @ 6200 and ran 11.7 @ 122. I know by the way it is running now I have to be over 500whp and it pulls so much harder.
Re-ringing it this winter as my cranking compression is about 20% low and my plugs are oily. That should free up a good 50hp (I hope lol). Also looking to possibly switch to the Edelbrock Cross Ram or Super Vic with DBW 4150 throttle body - with a cam appropriate for the intake I choose. I will get down to mid/low 10s NA.

How's your leak down?
You might consider installing a vacuum pump, if you're going for a record you might want looser rings and get the seal from the pump.

leak down tester isn't here yet. Based on the math, my cranking compression should be 220ish psi, 6 cylinders are 160 - 165 and 2 are 185. The plugs being oily tell me it has to be the rings.
I have thought of a vacuum pump, but I dunno. Researching it for now. Thinking maybe an electric vacuum pump might be the easiest to package.
