Am I showing decent power?
I went to the 1/8 track a few months ago to get a baseline w/ my new motor. Right now I have a 355, 3.08 rear, a big cam, and hardly any converter. I could only build the car up to about 1500(had a busted caliper I didn't know about) at the line, and when I launched it wouldn't even spin my street tires 
. Anyway, once I got into some rpms it started pulling pretty good. I don't remember off the top of my head, but 60' was ugly(like almost 2.5).
1/8th 9.12
mph 81
I know approx. what my motor is supposed to make, what do you guys think it is?

Yeah, I figured 380-400. It's the holley systemax setup which is supposed to be good for 425hp, but I'm using a 650 vacuum secondary instead of a double pumper, and timing is kinda in the rough.
