I'm disappointed I can't make it out but I have some other things to attend to and of course wishing you good luck! We might have to shift our expectations a tenth in consideration of the extra weight but hopefully it gives us all a good surprise. Nice finish work guys and ladies, it looks GREAT!!! NO MORE GEAR ...We think the 4.1 is about optimum. I was hoping to keep it below 72 for a long life but, it is Scott's deal now.

excellent work I'm thinking to much stall ,you might be missing the bottom end torque off the line just my .$02 I would say 5200 -5400 i would think. however its a very cool body style and build . Chop down the tree!!!

I’ll throw my hat in the ring with a 9.6? before long. All involved are pretty sharp fellas and this has had a lot of planning put into it. Looks great guys! Eager to hear the results!

Randy

Remember Doug and Hardcore worked on it therefore it'll be in the mid to upper 9"s.

Mike

9.5 @ 140.

Pretty aggressive camshaft so I'd guess 9.75.

Looks like fun!!!

FWD: Somethings up with the trans, because it ran the last 300ft on the Rev limiter at 7500 rpm. But it's pretty quick already in the front half.

I just forward Scott's text to me. I guess this was his first 'full' hit if you dont count his first hit with the rev limiter set at 4600rpm? Either way I think they're getting after it pretty good so far! BREAKING...Just got a new text "WAY TOO MUCH FLUID"...hope this fixes it!!!

Unfortunately only got one semi good run in. Something is broke in the trans or converter.

Pretty happy with the 1.33 60ft, and 6.23 in the 1/8th at only 106mph is promising for sure.


Will get it back home and torn apart.

Very good leave. Wheelie bar just keeps the front tires dancing.

Good first outing! The 1/8 mile in my car would run a 6.21 and the 1/4 mile would be a 9.75. Your converter may be just a tad too loose. Tighten it up 200/300 IMO.

Awesome results for a shakedown pass!

keep up the good work. Your mom did an awesome job on the interior. I think she is going after something nice next Sunday on Mothers Day!!! Birdtracker

I got a lot of help from a lot of people. In addition to DVW a d HardcoreB...

My mom did the lexan window straps and helped with the headliner. A friend Virginia did the carpet, Steve bent the roll cage, Kyle welded the bars, Dave built the intake spacer and welded up the valve cover, Jerry painted the motor, scoop, and wheels....and most of all my wife tolerated all of it in the middle of working and going to school to get her masters degree at the same time.

Lots of chaos, lots of help. All makes for a good life!


We will get the trans fixed up and will be back out.

Awesome first pass. It'll be running solid mid 9's by the summer!

I also haven't been to Stanton in forever, nice to see it's got concrete barriers now instead of armco.

My hat is off to all who contributed to this build. IMHO IT will eventually show itself to be a REAL overachiever, based on what is in this whole package. The 60 ft says it has power to run sub 9.80? 6.23 equals 9.80?

I'm happy to be one part of the whole picture and I'm happy it's showing some promise that it will be where we've thought. Impressive to me that the first try got it 1.33 60ft and and i'm pretty sure there's more to be had. For us that are trying to quantify the one timeslip (me included), apparently something is mechanically wrong-enough in the driveline that the car isn't moving well driving thru the pits now. Looking at DVW's weather these aren't stellar conditions so, there's hope it isn't too far off. We we're both hoping/expecting it'd run 9.7's first time out but that was assuming it'd not have the typical AFB stumble AND expecting it'd be sitting at 3400lbs (170 lbs lighter) Additionally, it was hitting 7500rpm at about 125mph with a 4.1 gear and a 30" tire.

On a positive note the Carter Comp 750s left clean with no stumble.
Doug

you guys are absolutely killing it. that car is already moving out!!

all involved should pat yourself on the back.

WOW , the interior came out so nice...i will ask again When can i drop my car off???

On a SERIOUS NOTE, looks like the car is on track to meeting your goals, Im sure with the team of help you have, it will be running the number soon
