Depending on track-prep (MMP?), traction, and weather, I think you are well-within reach;

I know I know I suck at drag racing. But the closest 1/4 mile track is over 60 miles away in Bowling Green so I rarely get out there.

P.S. I called Comp cams on my lunch hour and they said I could use either the XE268 or the HE268 if I was worried about passing emisions. according to Desktop dyno there both pretty close so I migt just go for the HE268.

I am very pleased with the XE268. But my engine is stroked, so I can use a bit more cam.
