It's really low.... really low. Maybe my priorities are flawed but my main concern was getting my truck home and drivable again.

I don't see why you take such offense to be called a liar?, When I would consider your posts below to be lieing. You call down playing, I call the bold quote comments just straight out lies.

Doesn't seem to extraordinary but this is a 10:1 350 built in my backyard using hand-me-down parts. It's never been on a dyno, never been wrenched on by a shop, and I haven't even touched the tune since putting it together... It's been together for a year now and the only maintenance I've done is change the oil. The only time it's broke on me is when my alternator took a dump at Atco but I made it all the way home on nothing but walmart battery power.
If that isn't a street car then I don't know what is...

But in all honesty, anyone who has seen my car knows it's a POS junky old stock 1988 IROC with a race motor in it. 80% of the money has been invested in the motor.
9 second capable motor in a 13 second capable car  |
So you threw alot of money into the motor but purposely used crappy parts?
.
Doesn't look like those parts where too used here, unless you are talking about the accesorys and in which case who the hell buys new accessorys when putting a new motor back together.
