Have you verified the timing ? if so jet up a couple on the back for wot. The car shouldn't detonate on those numbers, unless you've got really bad quench. JMO but i think the carb is a little small for your car.

Good mods for a big car like yours. If it's stock stroke you'll need aftermarket heads and a decent size cam to get 475 hp. My challenger's run 11.83 at 113mph and i'd say that's around 420.

So you're running 0.016 " ? I would take the rocker covers off, check the lash and look for any interference or signs of damage. As Drew says, it sounds like it's misfiring.

Can you hear it in neutral as well as in gear ? Are you sure it's not a header leak ?

If is of any help, I will be taking my Snap on timing gun to the Nats if you want us to give it the once-over.... That would be great Pete! :thumbright: If you dont sort it just stick a bit of race fuel in, that will stop it detonating down track. It's got to be timing or carb related, if carb rela...

So do i, that last Duster i sold had a black grill, i repainted it silver, nearly as bad as black bumpers.
I've just moved the indicators into the reversing lights on my mustang, i painted the clear lenses orange.
