Best et with drag radials and on the spray 10.97

I used to have a Lingenfelter 383 c4. I didn't run it that much, but it's best performance on street tires was 12.02@118.4 Drag radials it ran 11.80@120.2

This was a built bottom 383(steel crank, good rods, 11:1's) with ported d ports(factory heads) 219 cam, super ram etc. Car weighed 3405 with me in it and .5 tank of gas. All runs we're done in cool November air.
