PRP is a pretty user friendly track and will not jump in your face the second you do something wrong especially on test and tune night. They will usually approach you in the lanes after it is brought to their attention. A friend of mine had his small block chevy street truck there Thursday night with a set of Dart plat heads and a intake I just finished porting and cranked out a 11.05. He also raced yesterday and will be told soon to get a cage or slow it down. Sometimes these crazy cars are harder to slow down than it is to make them go fast.


1970 Duster
Edelbrock headed 408
5.984@112.52
422 Indy headed small block
5.982@112.56 mph
9.42@138.27

Livin and lovin life one day at a time

they did say something to my buddy and his neon where we were pitted! after he went 10.69 @ 138 his first pass and all he had was a 4 wheeler helmet(they made him borrow a helmet)! thats it! they picked out everything wrong with his car which was everything safety wise... but they let him run that night and he got a new best of 10.39 @ 140! not sure they will send him a tech card in the mail or let him run again without safety upgrades....

thx guys and yes it was pittsburg! I put in the /6 888-889 T bars... checked cranking pressures and all were close realtively and the highest was only 170. I did hook up an oberg system also! Im gonna try some more motor passes before hooking up any nitrous and ill start out small there regardles... I was just launching off idle and will get up on converter next time to see how that goes....maybe try 2 step also but not too much at once

chip yes it felt great

Went 6.18/9.72 111.06/138.55 - 1.40 60ft at 2350 DA that run.


Congrats on the 9 second time slip. Just for comparison:

9.72/6.18 = 1.573 right in line with typical numbers
sixty target = 9.72x0.12 +0.17 = 1.34

That might be a result of a street/strip compromise (gear, converter, tires, chassis, staging rpm, etc.) But overall a very good first day, IMO.
