Only limiters being have to run pump gas (no E85) and not in a rail car or other 2000lb tin can, how would you (or better yet, how HAVE you) build it???

Doesnt have to be deep in the 9's, but a solid pass after pass 9 second ride (in the 1/4 mile of course lol)

its definitely do able

Goes without saying but...the lighter the car, the less difficult and expensive it would be on the motor side.

A 3000lb A body, is going to require a HUGE difference in motor compared to a 3700lb b pr e body.

I’m thinking it would be very doable but a project I have zero interest in. My sons stock crank 360 has gone several 6.54’s in the 1/8 (3200 pounds) which would be 10.20-10.30’s in the 1/4. It’s on alcohol but with pump gas compression and even with the less desired open chamber 340 style Edelbrock heads. The small 600 lift roller cam is missing out on the 318 cfm @ .700’lift these heads put out. I would also step up his 4.10 gear slightly in place of his 750 alcohol carb a 1050 dominator would be tried. The heads would be cut for better quench for sure for BP 93. My Duster although a light weight (2820 at the time) easily went 9.80’s on pump gas BP 93 with a mildly ported set of W2 heads and a mild roller cam. A nice ported set of 360-1 heads, ported indy intake, and a nice roller cam packaged in a Stroker engine should be a cake walk on pump junk.

Any limits on cubic inch?

I am doing it now with W5 heads. 9.67-9.70

what does the car weigh

What the specs on the engine

Nope! Just like the original post says, must be pump fuel (not e85) and not a rail car and has to be n/a

Lighter Weight for sure makes things easier on parts, but still curious to hear the combos out there

Definitely know guys are doing it, was looking to maybe have some share a bit about the combo they have if they are doing it

Are you going to park that motorcycle and get the car back out again?

By N/A, you mean "Nitrous Assisted"...right?

Eazy Peezy with a G3 Hemi at 3000lbs...

Who said this post is about me? Just curious, ya know?

Hmmmmmm, I dunno about that...I'd need to see more examples that prove it without any power adders

I am hoping to give it a try. I posted about heads in another post and I am really looking for a high 9 second pass. I always run pump gas on my stuff. Flat top 4.10 bore 4" crank. I had open Eddie heads before but now going with the Indy 360-1s and some porting. Roller 6.56 cam and a 950 HP carb.. Oh yea a 8.75 rear end " LOL

Lol 😂. Yaaaaa right.

Ray(Sixpackgut) ran into the 9.7s I believe on drag week with a 428" Gen III at 3200lbs pump fuel.

My 2009 engine masters motor went 9.60s in a street car 140mph 3100lbs 396"
That engine made 660 HP at 7000 rpm
Still running in a D50 down south drives it to the track.


Second car was Brads 422" w9 motor
Was built for spray and we went 9.40s on pump gas 140mph
3150 lbs

I don't feel it's hard to run mid 9s in 2900-3100 lbs car. On pump gas
The pump gas 457" deal I just did should run low 9s

Bingo...Drives it 1000 miles and runs 9.80's on pump gas. He has posted his combo on here, and it runs the number.
