A buddy of mine had a shop put a very built 468 eng in his 69 Camaro looking to go 10's. He has not raced it yet and the fastest car he has ever raced ran mid 13's. It has a roller cam and aluminum heads with the normal goodies and 4.10 gears. Has a 5-speed also which is a plus for me because he cant drive the stick very good at the track. Course my car is a 493 which is the 440 block and 4.15 crank with Indy EZ heads and a solid flat tappet cam. I feel very sure my car will go at least 10.80's as I had problems last time out and still ran 11.0's. It was very lean but I have jetted up now. I plan to go again on Oct 8th and am trying to get him to go. Last time I went he said he was sick ! I hope he is not one of these guys who run their mouth but never show up. I really think that even if his car could run 10.50's it would be lucky to go 11.50's with him driving. It seems to be pretty fast and I would guess it should run in the low 11's or high 10's with a good driver. Well I hope to know after Oct the 8th. Ron

That's cool. I have a good time ribbing buddies with poor taste in vehicles. The problem is I don't have anything to prove I like the superior product, so I don't really talk too much smack. Lol. Soon, though...

BTW, my uncle drove a '63 Plymouth wagon for YEARS. I have had a fascination with that grill and body ever since. Love your ride.
Sometimes looking at something for years will, especially when you are very young, can make that car stick with you forever! Which is why I love '66 Coronets and tons of people don't. (My dad has a '66 Net ragtop. Bought it before there was a me)
Sorry for the off topic yapping!

How's his chassis??? Those cars have an absolutely terrible factory leaf spring arrangement without GOOD traction bars. Your car has proven track times. I think you will spank him.

Ron, make sure you ave enough fuel supply, big motors like lots of fuel   Make sure it doesn't lay over in the last three hundred feet  (high gear)

I have faith in you, Ron.  I think you'll take him, especially if he's not too good w/ a manual trans.  Tim

Tell him if he wants a driver send me a round trip ticket and I'll come up there and do my best to spank you. I'll drive anything, I'm just a ho  Love your car though, I had a 63 years ago.

Thanks all. Not knocking the guy but I was in his other 13 second Mustang when he did his shifting and believe me he dont know how to launch a stick car and I dont think he knows what power shifting is. I just dont think he can drive the car to its capabilities. Plus he has no frame connectors or rollbar which I told him to put a minimum of a 6 point rollbar in it. And I lent him a pair of my 28 x 9 slicks. As long as my car runs fine I should see easy high 10's which I think should cover him. He already knows I went 11.0's with problems so maybe he is having second thoughts.  But it is all in fun as thats what makes this hobby so cool. Ron
hope you do well Ron..
how healthy is that 468 he has...
I'll run him against my Camaro if I lived closer..LOL
and mines a SB w/4spd...
sounds like good fun..I use to get that stuff from my friends all the time about who's car is quicker and such...till I gave them a ride..stopped that noise...
perhaps next year I'll have my 63 Dodge ready for the streets...have fun...
