If you go to the Big "L" I'll say 11.10.. With No traction.

Head out to Milan or Norwalk with a good preped track on a nice cool ( Under 75*) day and you'll run 10.90...Just a guess..

Doug, shooting for Lapeer Sunday.

Last time I went to Milan I got a whole two passes about 6 hours apart, and no water to do a burnout in. It just wasn't worth it. I'd rather stay home and watch TV than do that again.

hmmmm
i was hoping to bring my car,,,and run at Milan,,,
last time i was there,,the track was very good......
we'll see if the wife agrees to dragging the car and trailer,,,,up to Michigan,,,,

Well if you go, good luck man

I'll take spinning 11s if that's all I can get.
A MPH number would be nice to have about now.

I went to Lapeer November 2009 with the 2008 Challenger (before we tore it all apart). There was no noticeable wheelspin and it ran a string 1.50 60 footers...
But then again that isn't a leaf spring car.

Only one day left, any more guesses?

Never tried setting idle mixture using the fast a/f display (and vacuum gauge at the same time) until earlier tonight, and that was different.

The RPM is higher, the vacuum is higher, and the idle feels stronger at 17 or 18:1 than at 14:1 for some reason? When I set it by ear or vacuum it ends up at 17 or 18:1 every time.

I put it in the 14s at operating temp thinking maybe it will help it run cooler at low speeds Don't really like the fact it makes the quality worse, but don't understand what's up with it. Need more time playing with it I guess.

Nothing left to do but swap a couple parts around tomorrow, fuel up and take a spin.

10.90 120mph. My bro's Aspen R/T with a ported 906 head 12.5 comp ross piston, 312 .590 cam 446 went 10.60's at 123mph. Tight 8 inch converter (4500rpm) with 4.10 gears. it ran that at Lapeer almost two years ago in 70 degree weather 60 footing in the 1.48-1.50 range off the foot brake.

Rich,we'll definately have to line the X's up tomorrow! I won't beat ya,but it'll be a good photo-op!!! See ya There!

Brad,maybe that'll give me the head-start I'm going to need!!!

You guys are probably not too far from the truth there, It has been a long time after all.....

If I can get in one successful run without anything going haywire, we can get our photo op anytime after that Randy. I have video capability also but don't know if I'll bring the camera...sometimes, the less stuff to go wrong the better.

Today was NOT supposed to be a thrash fest, just swapping tires and a couple parts, no big deal, relaxing day at home getting things done. Then at 11am I couldn't find the @#$^^@#$^$#!@#%^&%^& keys

To make a long story short...keys were eventually found...
7 hours later I wanted to be done by then....

I put a few miles on it on radials/the normal stock shocks I like to use, dinked with the idle mixture some more and it ended up just like last year...so maybe it was right to begin with. I could swear the idle mixture was changing on it's own for awhile there (which is possible, since it started with old gas in it), but after running some fresh fuel through it, it went back to normal.

I then did the Hoosier cheater slicks, DS2 front runners, took off the sway bar, and put the QA1 front shocks on/ adjusted them to full loose in extension. Went for a spin to cool off, and it sure drives like crap I had totally forgotten how weird all that stuff feels until under power...definitely not the hot ticket for street use. But I'm gonna do it anyway, Lapeer ain't all that far. See you guys in the morning.

And the results are:
Bubba won the ET guess
Mr. P won the MPH guess

Kinda fun to see how that works out sometimes

So,Rich...do Bubba & Mr.P get prizes? Can you keep your eyes and ears open for a good deal on some 30"x9" slicks? I REALLY need them! Thanks! RandyB

Sure thing on the tires.

If either Bubba or Mr. P would like to claim their prize (which I'll make up as I go), they should feel free to PM me their addresses. I can usually come up with something or another
