We only got 3 passes at test and tune. Light mist kept holding things up.

Keep in mind this is a street car with full interior, 5/16 fuel line and pump gas. I ran it the way I drove it to the track. Didn't change air pressure or anything!

Combo:
'63 Dodge 330 Sedan
505" 440 block with 4.25 stroke and 7.1" Molnar rods and crank.
10.5 CR
Modern Cylinder Head ported Stealth heads
Howards hydraulic roller .545 lift and 235/241 @ .050 duration installed straight up with 1.5 Crane rockers.
Holley Street Dominator intake with 1/2" spacer
Demon 850 double pumper
2800 stall converter
3.55 gears
3" full exhaust with Dynomax Ultra Flows
275/60/15 MT Pro's
6 cylinder bars and SS springs. Monroe street shocks.

Could only hook off idle. That was the best pass after touching the Rev limiter in 1st and 2nd (6k rpm)

60 ft. 1.73
330 4.91
1/8th 7.54
1/8th mph 92.9
1000ft. 9.82
1000mph 106
1/4 mile 11.75
1/4 mile 117.16 mph

Feedback?

I plan on dropping the rear pressure to 14 psi next time and leaving with a little more rpm. 60ft. wasn't what I had hoped..

Probably wouldn't hurt to go 3/8" line. laugh2

I plan on lowering the tire pressure, clamping the front segment of the springs a little more and taking the clamps off the rear. That way I can (hopefully) raise the launch rpm some.

It may get some 90/10 shocks up front to help, too!

iagree

You might want to try some adjustable shocks with the SS springs.
I run 16psi in my 275 ET Streets on a 8" wide wheel, SS Springs & CE 3 way shocks. 1.60 - 1.62 60'

Nice!
What was the converter flashing to? Might have been hard to tell if there was tire spin.

Similar to my combo aside from the heads/cam:
493, ported -516 heads
530 lift solid FT, 260/266 @ 0.050, M1, 950 HP
full 3" exhaust
9.5" dynamic, 3.55's
325/50 Drag radial, Rancho single adjustable shocks
/6 bars 90-10's up front

Shift at 5500rpm

Last pass was:
60 ft. 1.601
330 4.669
1/8th 7.28
1/8th mph 93.57
1000ft. 9.570
1000mph NA
1/4 mile 11.519
1/4 mile 115.39 mph

Made a big difference going from non adjustable shocks to Rancho (Calvert) 9 ways. Couldn't justify DA shocks for a 11 second car... Went from burning the tires at anything above a high idle, to being able to leave at 3k foot braking.

You have a few tenths on the table if you can get it to launch.


Faster, Faster until the thrill of speed overcomes the fear of death...

Thanks, Ron!

I think I can whittle it down a little.

I aspire to run hard and drive it everywhere like you do!

Everyone's cars run so good here I was a little hesitant to post.

I think it's a good start, though...

Going to Indy swap meet and posts like this are what make me go work on my car to get it going. 470" stroker with mch done up stealth heads should be a bit quicker than my old ~8.8:1 383 I had in it that ran 14.5's.
So thanks for posting! Now off to set the motor in. Then gotta switch the 8 3/4 to the strange 60 and get a driveshaft made. Pretty excited!

Haha, I have a Dana 60 waiting in the wings. May wait until Fall to see if I need to mini tub the car for traction. drive

I'll be at Mo-Kan April 9th for the Mopar event and then again for the HAMB drags. Come by and say Hi.

Thanks for the kind words. wave I was going to say that I run 3/8 fuel line and it seems to be more then enough for my combo with just an 850 DP. My son still has the 5/16 line on his Dart and it has run 11.40's @ 117 with the 5/16 line. Glad to see that cool 63 running good. up Ron
