Hopefully it will go at least 9.84 so you will become motivated to get the pearl going again.

In a month i will have pretty popups like you do. Need an effing carb

Car is working great!

What oil do you use regularly and what do you switch to for gaining a tenth?

Do you play with different trans and diff lube viscosity as well?

Capacity levels?

Any current video to share?

Thanks and keep up the great work!

Great build

0-10 lucas synthetic when I want to go fast. Car still has 60 PSI down track with it

No changes other than a new set of 29.5x105.W's and I took the throttle stop out from under the carb.

1.42
6.32@109
9.95@134.67

This is at 3380#, through the mufflers.

Nice Work! Congrats on the new best

Love to hear it, congrats.

Very impressive build! I too am thinking of switching from the 496 to gen III platform. I do have a question on your cam that is installed at 5 degrees advanced @103, how did you arrive at that installed setting and what was the reason? More power down in the lower rpm? I see you race at different tracks, which one is your favorite? I'm on Whidbey Island and was looking for a closer track than Pacific Raceways! Matt

Thank you.

On the cam, it was designed so that I wouldn't have to buzz the motor to the moon to make power. The cam is ground on a 108, and was supposed to be installed at 104. Using the stock 6.1 Timing set there is no adjustment, it landed at 103 and we checked P to V and all was good so we left it. On the dyno, it was still gaining at 7500, so I don't think running it advanced has hurt power output at high RPM.

The Car made another 21 passes this weekend. Since I race so much it was important that the engine is reliable and I don't have to rev it up much.

From Whidbey your best bets are Pacific, Bremerton and Mission. All are good tracks, all have their quirks. Mission is the fastest if you wait for the fall air and are willing to cross the border. Pacific is home for me because its the closest. Bremerton is a laid back, family type atmosphere, very few accomodations, but a fun place no less. My favorite northwest track is Firebird Raceway in Boise, but that's a 500 mile jaunt so I only race there 1-2 times a year.

Have you made a bunch of passes with the G3?

What are your current thoughts with the G3 platform?

Has it been a reliable "put gas in it and go" type motor?

Waiting for some new in-car vids...

Thanks!

Its terrible, avoid G3's like the plague.

Sarcasm or did something bad happen?

Just sarcasm. I made another 13 runs last weekend.

North of 300 runs on it. Just change the oil.

Excellent...I'll be looking for a G3 to put in my ride, which was originally going to get a BB.

How many passes before you change the oil?

I'm not religious about it, in the neighborhood of 50-100 runs. Whenever I have time.

Man nice work and with stock lifters and valvetrain.
Nice to have a very good platform to work with.
Matt

Sunday morning would have technically been a new best.

6.30 to the 1/8th, 9.93 according to my run completion, but I lifted to win the round.

That's awesome!

Any more in car video?

Just for kicks, I would like to hear what the G3 sounds like from burnout to stripe to compare to the sb. The sb was a screaming monster.

Do you leave off of a brake?

I dont own a gopro anymore, so I wont have video.

Footbrake.
