my lil 306 should easily be hitting 7.70's or better on motor the next time i go to the track after my tune and minor adjustments. I just got a 306 and some canfield heads, little efi edelbrock intake with a tiiiiiiiiiny lil N-91 cam
oh and a stock k member and arms with 4 banger springs all around
