Seems light on the top end,,,gonna jet up some more .....So the Hemi runs....just not where I want it to yet....Still a 9second street car. Should be a 9.60 street car,,,,,
It's not supposed to flash that high with this engine......it's a blown alky convertor from ATI.... supposed to be 3600, but I am pretty happy with it. I will have to get stiffer side wall slicks for next year. It's crushing my current tires.
Agreed, we are a little light on the cage. I only have a roll bar in it and never really wanted to cut the car up more, but I like running 9's with it so it is time to step it up with a full cage and window net.
I was hoping the car would have run closer to its potential, but I ran out of bigger jets at #106 in all four corners and 6.20's made me happy for now. The timing I set by ear, and I will have to see where it ended up. I am hoping there is more potential left in this combo than just 9.90. I feel this combo should run 9.60 for a 605...unless the weight of my car is that far off. Haven't weighted it in years and this block is heavy.
I am curious though, is anyone running the Barton rockers? Would those be worth the $ and did they free up any HP?
The other issue seems the lack of traction. The car made more hp, but ever run I had a worse 60ft. Its crushing the rear tires even at 14psi,so it looks like I need to find a better solution there. I am not sure I can do anything else with the suspension....
What was the DA? Like quickd100 said, it doesn't sound like you're spinning it real hard, but the video may be deceiving. Have you tried leaving off a fast idle? You are footbraking right? Just looked through my logbooks, and my closest comparable timeslip running mid 6.20s are all at 109-110+ mph. You're still on a big bias ply tire though right? That might be why.
