You would figure that if you had that much timing in it that the car would be hard to start and would want to run on after you shut it off.

i know a guy with a ford that had his around 70 by accident too....he didn't have the best luck with it....this was a couple runs later with the timing back where it was supposed to be.

That's not that unusual with SBF's, I've seen 3-4 do it at my local track over the last couple of years.

A 10 second street car, eh!
SBC 409, through the mufflers, on DOT radials, you know, like a street car should be.
