The car should weigh around 3,100 on CalTrac's. 6301389-LHside.JPG (170 downloads)

That gives you a little room, as it takes about 1000 hp to run 8.50s at 3100 lbs. With that goal, you can build in some reliability I would think. Maybe shoot for 900 hp on motor, so you only need 200 on the juice. That would be a 540 B1 motor with some porting. Lets see, B1Wes built that exact combo. 8..603 156 mph best, 2905 lbs 549, indy 572-13, alky

I've heard about it, but never have seen it. Mine is leaf spring, his is a 4 link from what I'm told. Al and Fred, thanks for that Glass Man, thanks, but I don't like glass parts on street cars. Besides a hood anyways. Greg, thanks for that info. Did Wes ever run that car? Seems like he sold it right around the time I joined Moparts. racerx, thanks Leon, I'll take #3 lol. Anyone else? I know there's some more cars here that can do it.

So its only an imaginary 8 second car sitting in the garage with the show poodle. Al's are is a throttle stop baby....... when its actually running My car is slow but your basic 500" big block with B1's or -1's and some juice or power adder of your choice should do it easily. Aftermarket block is pretty much a requirement at that point. -Dustin 67 Dart, 9 second, 392" G3 Hemi 68 Barracuda 340 F/SA

n20mstr master N Joined: Aug 2003 Posts: 4,690 On the parachute mount	Ari i have tuned the car on just the plate, i got it to run 9.0's at about 147 148. That was with 78n 70f and 20* timing. Prob could get it to run in the 8.90 8.80 range with say a 92 or so nitrous jet. Now thinking about it, prob could go 8.50's with just the plate in a 3100lb car. When using a plate on the Indy intake, have to watch at the higher jets that the cycl dist is good. Even with mine ported there are still two cyl that can get a little hotter than the rest ....BAD A$$ STREET CAR.....
