Maiden Voyage on the New World Block. - 07/06/09 02:12 PM

Went to Ubly Dragway on Saturday for some 1/8 MI Shakedown runs.

Best run was 6.28 @ 111.11 ---- 1.49 60"

No Traction on any of the 5 passes made.
I pulled 10* of timing out for 1.4 Seconds on the TransBrake.
I ran 36.5* of timing and Short Shifted at 6500.
A/F was showing 11.5..

What I learned was:
* I need to get my Irons Racing Suspension in.
* I need to get my Irons Racing Suspension in.
* It wants 2 More degrees Timing.
* I need to shift at 7400.
* I need to take some Jet out.
* I need to get my Irons Racing Suspension in.

All in all.. I'm tickled with it.

Congrats and a real nice time for the first time out.Looks like a 5 second 1/8 mile car

Re: Maiden Voyage on the New World Block. - 07/06/09 08:51 PM

After going over the numbers with my slide rule.....

a 6.28 looks to equate to a 9.75-9.83 in the 1/4 mile,,,

The IRONS suspension set up looks nice....

good luck bubba,,,

you doing Norwalk or the NATS this year ??

Doc',,,,,

Nice numbers Bubba I'm jealous!!

Have you seen the new Irons suspension, might be something to add to your list.

Sounds good Bubba...... now to start tuning

Thats great Bubba, how was the World Block? Any problems you didnt see? Did you end up using the oil galley plug/port by the driver timing chain cover in your oiling system? I plan to with this Hemi. If My machinist would finish hone the block, and balance the rotating assembly..I could get it together...He's only had it since January...

Wished I would have just hauled it to MI like I did the last one, and let Chuck and the boys finish it up...Bet it would have tookin them more than a month or two tops.

Re: Maiden Voyage on the New World Block. - 07/07/09 03:50 AM

Once again.....the evil black Mirada is much too fast for my "good guy" white one to even consider contending with......

but I bet you'd enjoy my 1.37-39 60ft times!

Psssst....you might look into re-doing your suspension, in case nobody mentioned it!

Sounds like it's going to be a killer combo. You might want to consider an Iron's 4 link.....just a thought

Re: Maiden Voyage on the New World Block. - 07/07/09 12:57 PM

Thanks Everyone.

The Combo is 512. Callies Crank, GRP Rods, CP Pistons, 345cc CNC -1's, Jesel Rockers, Scotty Brown Roller Cam. Dale Cubic Dominator, Hutch Built T-400 Trans, ATI Convertor, Dana 4.10, 10.5 tires, Leaf Springs, Mufflers, MSD7530. ALL this at a light weight of 3700 LBS.

(Vince)Impastato Racing Engines did all the Block Machining. Jeff at Modern Cylinder Head touched up the Heads alittle and Scott Brown did the Cam Degreeing with the PITA Milodon Gear Drive. My Daughter and I did the assemble.

I ended up plugging the Oil provision in the front of the block so I could use the parts I already had. The AN fittings are way too expensive to be changing stuff for no reason.

Hey Doc, I'm planning on Norwalk this year. What are you charging for a Panus Cleansing these days? I now I can go faster if I was lighter.

You all have a good idea cooking with that Irons Suspension suggestion. I think I'll call up the IronsWorks shop today for a chat.

That would be around 9.85-9.90 in the 1/4 pushing that heavy car down the track.

And with better hook/sixty foot, even quicker.

Nice job Bubba

Must feel good to have the insurance of a good block to hold everything together. Keep us posted on your progress.

I hear you can get a two for one deal on a Panus/Fupa scrub these days if you check around.

Listen Al, There will only be one Doctor touching my Panus... Right Doc?

Awesome that you got her going again

Sounds like it's going to really fly once you get it all rung out with the Irons goodies.

Is Ubly strictly 1/8th mile now or can you t&t 1/4?

Bubba, since you've put so much emphasis on our system, and your thread has one foot in the grave anyway, I'll take this opportunity to share our latest, redesigned system that your car will soon be getting. It's stronger, lighter, more compact, and all around better.

Our website is not yet updated with this latest major redesign, so you've seen it here first

Nice suspension, how much is it going to cost ?

Re: Maiden Voyage on the New World Block. - 07/08/09 07:26 PM

The big block book is finished and in print so my next project is a Mopar suspension and handling book. I'll have to remember to include your stuff when I get to the rear suspension chapter. Looks like cool stuff and I hadn't seen any of that before.

I can't wait to get that setup in the car... Maybe get some 60" times in the 1.2X's

Listen.... Do I need to steal your girlfriend away for 30 Seconds again?

....and another thing. You better fix the clock on your computer. I know your mommy doesn't let you stay up past 9:30 PM.

Re: Maiden Voyage on the New World Block. - 07/11/09 02:21 AM

My biggest mistake going to ladder bar was NOT jumping up to new frame rails to allow more tire. I have mine mini tubbed to the frame and rolled the inner fender lip and a 10.5 is all she wrote.

10.5 is plenty of tire, if your car works. Look how fast guys are going in the 8" tire shootouts.

Posted By: 440Jim

Re: Maiden Voyage on the New World Block. - 07/11/09 01:17 PM

More tire is better for a bracket race car. And you can always bolt on 10.5 tires for a class race. Tires work better, last longer, etc. Also, I would suggest building the wheel well to fit up to 33" dia. tire.

Posted By: Bubba

Re: Maiden Voyage on the New World Block. - 07/12/09 01:43 AM

..Oh I'm sure more tire would be better but I think trying to do it on a 10.5 is much funnier.
