Think I just need some encouragement as to what I can achieve with my combo, but if you wish to add diff gears/gearbox/stall go right ahead.
And I know that you may have run some great numbers with webers & holleys, AND 2" su's, but I don't have those...

N/A is the only way
I'll take that back, but in this case it is
will be interesting to find out the Power of the 1 3/4" SU's

SM mag last few months seems to be featuring fx/fj racers from 70's-80's that cracked high 11's.Harrop's Howler etc.
Lighter car,bigger slicks..high comp,big cams etc
Most had su's even Harrops Howler in the beginning.

Harrops Howler used 2" SU's before the webers.

That was until the repco cast pistons exploded, it far exceeded my expectations.
Nothing wrong with the SU's Jason, they have they're application.
Wouldn't it be great if ya could get as cast, undrilled 149 heads, I'm sure a few were smuggled from the foundry back in the day.

Obviously there's not too many people running 1 3/4" for anything remotely close to racing purposes, maybe for good reason, but we'll see.

I can't remember 100%, but I think I was running mid 13s with 1 3/4" SU's. No reason you can't run 12s.
