I`ve been checking the weather for Famoso several times a day for weeks and it looks like it might be a go so, based on my new sig numbers, does anyone care to take a stab at my HOPEFUL 9-sec. et? My best of 10.09 in may of 05 looked like this; 1.414 60 ft.
4.093 330
6.387 1/8th @ 107.12
10.09 @ 131.97 mph.....So, based on my old #`s compared to my sig #`s what do you guys think? THANKXX.......... Forgot...if it matters my new 330 et was 3.983....

Not a guess, just math
10.09/6.387=1.57977
1.57977*6.223=9.830

If you can run 6.22 at 109 you should go 9.80's at around 134-136

It should go 9.80's easily, based on your past exploits.

Had you been running a stroked smallblock, this would have happened in Biblical times for you already

If I had a smallblock the way I build em, I`d still be in the 11`s. I`m gonna ignore Slowtrees comment.

It probably will go 10.000 and then I`ll tap into the Millers and call it good and then sell the pig.

Slam dunk 9.86 136. I Understand your improvement came from just leaving at a higher rpm off the converter?

It was a couple of things that showed improvement....hitting the chassis dyno to get the afr`s correct, firecore 50 wires, scaling the car, firecore 50 wires, and yes,leaving at 3000 instead of 1500 and of course; firecore 50 wires.

Dominic,

If the Dart does not run the number your looking
for, don't sell it, just replace more steel body
panels with fiberglass and get the weight out of
the car.

2QUICK4U, I hope you`re wrong.......my buddy Kevin just called me about Fontucky but that track is a crap shoot as far as the wind/weather for me so far but if sat. doesn`t work out, I`ll be there.

I'd say throw a can of " Motor Honey" in there and you'll be running low 9's in no time..... ...of course...always remember to adjust your dual wave dipsticks before each pass. If you run the style with chromium sliders, you need an oscilliscope, but I am guessing you may only be running the standard mild steel version?...

Good luck and go knock it down !

As long its getting enough fuel at the other end i think it will be a 9 for sure. My cuda when it ran 9.80s had similar 1/8 mile et. but more 1/8 mile mph.

Damn, tough crowd.... I have little doubt it will run the number. Remember; 1/4mi car, 4.11`s and I just picked up 6 mph in the 1/8th alone (BEFORE scaling the car) since my last crappy headwind 10.22 et at 129+ in Fontucky. You will all hear the results sat eve or sun morning.....I predict a 9.78@ 135+........dreaming of course but, without dreams life has little meaning.

If conditions are the same as your old best, It WILL run;
9.779 at 133.9 mph.
If conditions are worse than before then;
9.831 at 133.2 mph.

Good luck

I'm not going to guess, just say that any car that does low tens is WAAAAAY fast. Don't be disappointed if you don't hit your goal, it's still an awesome car.

If you need a couple of hundredths try using some Q16. You need 4-5 jets sizes bigger but it is worth 30 or so HP.

I`ve heard good and bad things about that fuel but I just got a 5-gal. pail of trick along w/my special pump gas/110 mix. My tune is damn near ideal Bob so we`ll see how it runs. Have you been keeping tabs on the weather? Still looks a bit shady to me but who knows.

Ask Jason about Q16. It's like N2O in a can. Weather for Saturday looks golden. Sunday looks dicey still.

I think that you WILL get into the 9's with ease! My 408ci small block Koffel's Place engine with a 904 transmission, 8 3/4 rear end with 4.86 gears, and 33X16X15 slicks; I am in the 9.79 -9.83 range. Here is one of my ET slips from the Norwalk Chrysler Classic.

60' _ 1.328
330' _ 3.936
660' _ 6.165
MPH _ 109.77
1000 _ 8.119
1320 _ 9.797
MPH _ 133.63

GOOD LUCK!

The air looks great, 31% humidity and 30.10 Baro. as is now. Should be about the same tomorrow with air temps around 60* or so. If this track hooks the same as the track you ran your 1/8 mile bests at.

I see a possible et anywhere from a 9.78 to 9.88 if you dont run into any mechanical problems or other gremlins.

Im behind you all the way and hope you get your 9.?? sec. time slip. I know your cars capable of it. If all goes well it Will happen, mike

I think they fixed the dip right at the lights in the left lane, that is a great track your car will run its best number there. Everyone who races there are very friendly too, good food to be had also. Good luck and have fun.

Famoso is as smooth as any national event track in the nation....the Boswers actually had it done twice(first time didn't meet NHRA specs) last time it was resurfaced about 3 years ago....it's also one of the widest tracks in the country.

If you can equal your best 1/8 et and the car can run the back half .......9.76

If not and the car has no problems...... 9.80's for sure.


Good luck!

You started this thread last Wednesday, when are you going to the track to collect that little piece of paper with a 9-something on it???





Today, that's why he was up at 3:48am. He's got maybe a 2-2.5 hour pull to Famoso from his place. He's probably teching right about now.

I wouldn't bet money that Thumper and his onterauge are in a bar enjoying the fruits of their labor and it is a 3 to 5 hour drive back from Bakerspatch to VVTL, depending on how many they have on the way

G Bob stated it was a 2 to 3 hr tow. also members Cmg and BobR were going to be there too. No post action from them either.

My guess is, it shouldent be to much longer to hear results from somebody.

I was sitting in the stands this morning about 10:00 when Dominic made his first pass. I am not going to collect his thunder. I'm sure he will post his results in the morning.

Well, it is halfway through the morning here on the East coast. This time zone thing is a pain... LOL

There is no doubt his car will run a 9 second quarter mile. It has done the 1/8th mile part and it isn't geared to blow up in the 1/4 (4.11 gears). The question is 9.9, 9.8, or 9.7
Quote:

1.36, 6.22, 109.07




I am looking forward to the results, and details.
My guess is 9.85, but the weather details are everything.

Hey Thump,

I didn't have any $$$ to buy your ten-second car... I sure as heck won't be in the market for your nine-second car! But, good luck and a string of icons:



-bill


Seduce the attractive, and charm the rest. ****** 489 C.I.D., roller cam, aftermarket heads, tunnel ram, stock '54 Dodge rear axle assembly: which of these doesn't belong?
