Im with Raff....You dont need a stroker to go 10's. With some head work maybe a dominator your there. A cam swap wouldnt be bad either.




We put my 1050 dom on his car... would have gone quicker
but it blew the tires off at the launch... it made
more torque at the hit... with some head work he can
get a 10

In Randys defense, I think he's still got wood from Josh's car, I do

Maybe we could trade both of our cars for his Duster and share

Too bad you don't have a low deck Randy, I could help with that 2 carb idea

Raff..Mike,Doug,and Ron...after thinking long and hard about doing this,I'm leaning toward keeping the ole' X and getting her the paint,and cosmetics(trim pieces)she deserves! She's been a VERY DEPENDABLE car...don't run too shabby,either! After a good,constructive talk with Corinne,and finding out from our financial advisor that I can withdraw money from one of my retirement accounts,without being penalized...I'm gonna go for it! Might not be enough to get it ALL done...but,I'll be shopping around REAL hard! Just saw a '96' Vette owned by one of the locals,that was done by a fella next town over(Armada)and for the money,did a REAL NICE job! He had to do some body work as well!...which mine needs,also. All I can do is try my best to get a "good" job done at my price! In reality...running a 10 is important to me,in the total scheme of plans,but the X REALLY needs the "Facelift" badly! I REALLY appreciate ALL your opinions! Thank You,Friends! Randy B.

Gus,Thanks for all your info,yesterday! The engine mods will have to wait until the winter of 2012-2013! I have to concentrate on getting the ole' car looking the way it should...and be content with running low-11's for a while!...unless some "extra" cash mysteriously shows up at my doorstep(Moparts members contributions)to get the Eddy's ported...and put me in the 10's! ...yeah,right! Thanks again,Gus! See ya at Norwalk! Hope you decide to run the "Blue Beast"!

Thank You for your generous offer,Bobby!...but,I have my hands full keeping one 4-barrel HAPPY! AFTER getting the X looking the way it should...my next engine mod will be getting the Eddy's ported...and possibly shaved for a little more compression. Currently running 10:25:1. Thanks again,Bobby! Hope you're doing well! Randy B.

Mike..I believe you're right on the money with your 10.80 prediction! You think I can get away with pump gas,running 11.5 compression? I'm sure I couldn't get away with running 39-40 degrees,total...like I am currently!

Randy,

With aluminum heads and the right cam profile you can run that much squeeze with pump gas no problem. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised at how the car would respond to some high quality head porting and some added compression.

Yes,I believe you can run 93/94 pump gas. Dom with his Thumper Dart has 12:1 and runs pump gas.

Thanks,guys! The head porting will have to wait until the winter of 2012-2013! I hope Jeff@ Modern can do them!..if not,Dwayne Porter also does AWESOME work! Can't go wrong with either one,in my opinion! I don't think a cam change is necessary! I REALLY like the Comp SQ lobe cam Dwayne picked out for me a few yrs. ago! Sure works for me!

When you look at that list Randy. You can see how RARE the Pre 71 GTX,s are, like You have!

You better go out and give that car a Hug, for even thinking about selling it.
