Headin to the strip, 1st time down, what will it run???

14.30's

Have you ever driven any stick shift car down the strip? Does the car have drag radials?If no to both you gonna start off somewhere in the 13.40s-13.80's and you should work it down into the 12.60s-12.80's once you start getting the feel for it. Godd luck and all that matters is that you have fun.

I agree...mid 13s at best....

Well Im not disapointed as its the 1st time since I built the car I have gone down the 1340...

My best out of 3 passes, very packed Test and Tune, Was

13.8
60ft time, BAD!!! 2.25

102.97 MPH

Ill try to post the time slips, but they are very hard to read.

I couldnt hook that thing for sh*t!! I Dropped air to 10 PSI, Still spunn like mad..

My 1st and worst pass was

14.48
2.44 60 ft,
101.63 mph

Im proud of myself for shifting well, didnt miss any, and the car realy drove well.

The tires I thought were what was holding me back.

I know I need to learn the launch, but its been a long time. I think with slicks, and If I take the rear clamp off the SS springs it will hook better.

I personally think mid 12's are in it for sure, if not a bit faster...good luck and hopefully the chassis tweaks help out a bit

Whats the 1/8 E.T. and MPH and what fuel pump are you running- seems to be 10-12mph off up top, should be good for at least 112mph as is.

10 lbs..put the air back in them,my duster likes 15 lbs..

Well

I didnt get much time to to make more than 3 passes, so I dont hava lot of info, but I am running longer shocks with the springs I think they are Summit brand 90/10s up front, and thematching rear shocks for the car/springs etc. They are made by qa1 I was tolk. I started at 32 psi cause I just wanted to know what it would do in total street trim, Then I ran 17 psi the 2nd pass (which was the fastest) but still a 2.25 60ft, then on the hardest hooking run I dropped to 10 psi.

My 1/8 mile was 1st, a 9.5, 2nd 9.0, and 3rd 9.2...

I have the fuel PSI at 6.5 with my crappy summit guage, and its a new holley fuel pump. Engine Ran great, really great accually. It never nosed over, farted, or even bogged when it did hook in 2nd gear.

Im sure I just have a low MPH due to wicked tire spinn.

MoparJoe, Im sure my mph will come inn.

I have a 408 in the works, and the machining is almost done!!!

I really wish I would have had more run time. We are 2 hrs from the track, and I still have to make a living. The 408 isnt cheap.

I know the power was there, I just have crazy traction issues. Im not making any more runs this year, or with this engine, I have a base line, and have the new bullet going in when the snow flies.

I did have a lot of fun, and there is nothing like a mopar in the burn out box posi walkin to the right...

Caltracs..... There's your answer to your traction problem...and good tires.

I don't like the the Summit brand 90/10s, the rears blew out on a hard launch, and they still weren't long enough for the springs. I had them on the car less than 2 weeks before I chucked them.

HUH,,,

Im happy with the shocks so far, I have been beatin the crap out of the car all summer long, and they are ok, Im sure If I go to the track more often they might be bad, Dont know, but Ill cross that one when I need to.

thanks though..

Kasey

He has a TON of stuff to sort out before he should ever thrown in the towel on a hopefully 12 second primarily street car

---

This was a test ant tune, Im happy with the results for now, I only had limited time to run, and this was the maiden trip...

When I get more pony under the hood, then Ill really get to the down and dirty, and probbly get a dedicated wheel and tire combo for taking to the strip.

I know the tire spinn really killed me, but it was TEST AND TUNE..
