my 340 darts first 8 second pass, UPDATE...

my 340 darts first 8 second pass, UPDATE... - 06/27/11 02:19 AM

Well the weather finally gave me a break and I waited out some light rain at Thompson raceway park Saturday, (6/25/12). First pass was a 8.96 @ 149.01 mph. Second pass was a 8.93 @149.08 mph. Still too much clutch and a few other bugs to work out but it's headed in the right direction. Thats only the 4th and 5th passes on the car this year so I'm sure it will pick up some more after I learn how to drive it...

It's all motor, I don't believe in NOS or any other type of power adder.

not much to say as far as specs go, OEM block, heads and valve covers, pump gas, well under 370 cubes, homemade step headers, shop made oil pan intake and belt drive, I have an awesome engine builder and a lot of hard work to make it run like it does. I don't have any pictures of the car from this year, maybe someone on here does, or better yet a video of it?

I`m confused... in your other post you said "stock block and heads" now you say r-3 block and w-9`s? Pump gas to boot...........

I never said stock I said OEM, meaning Mopar block, heads, and valve covers, nothing else is mopar on it and it isn't anything close to being stock. I buy my gas, cam2 at the local gas station and pump it into 5 gallon cans to take home and put in the car. Hope that clears up any confusion you had..

r3, w9's, sheetmetal intake, steamroller tires, in a lightweight chassis car should go 8's. there is no junk there either, by no means.
Congrats on your first 8 sec run!

Where do you race?
And what does it weigh?
