It's been awhile since I've posted any updates with my Road Runner, so here goes.......Been having a blast with it!! But not without issue. Had some carb issues...Had some trans & converter issues....Had some oil pan issues..... Decided to switch to Drag Radials from ET Streets....While working thru those issues, I've been driving it all over on the street and been to the track as well, especially over the last 3 months, I've been out a fair bit testing and tuning, trying different things each time out and learning a bunch and seeing improvement. Best performance to date was from yesterday....6.34 @ 107.2. 1.33 60ft. on a 315 drag radial.

Here are a few videos from yesterday.

That is just awesome. how much does it weigh?
Just curious if that is an original 6 pack car? My buddy had one that had never seen the street. Drag car from day one and it looked just like yours. Solid Black

Fantastic! The 1/8th mile ET versus the mph shows there looks to be a lot of down track performance still waiting to be uncovered. An 1/8th mile 6.34 ET equals about 111 mph on my Computech.

Steff -- Care to give a basic run down on your build again?

I aware of the Pulley mods thread you did - but cant find any details on the basic motor set up - ie heads, block, rotating assembly, cam and induction...

Thanx Guys! The car weighs 3450 with me in it. Car has Chassisworks 36" Ladder Bars, Ford 9" with 4.57 gears, Single Adjustable Varishocks on rear, Wilwoods all around, I built my own tubular front end with rack, still using 6 cyl. torsion bars, Afco Single Adjustable Shocks in front, Turbo 400 trans with Griner Brake, UCC 8" Converter, hits at 5500, best 60' was setting the launch rpm at 5000 rpms, MT 315 Drag Radials on a 12" rim, set at 18 psi, Quick recap on motor, motor is 400", 11.6:1, Ported 6.1 heads with 2.10 & 1.65 valves, Stock Rockers, Custom rocker stands, Cam is from LSM, 244/250 .650 lift on a 112, in at 107, Muscle Motors Intake, Custom Cam Belt Drive I designed, Custom Oil Pan with Petersen Single Stage belt driven pump, Pro Systems 1100 Dominator. 18 months ago, when I finished the motor, I dyno'd it and it made 784/650. BUT, after running it all summer, I no longer believe in the number, as the best ET I got doesn't reflect it. I've tuned on the motor for best ET & MPH and I don't think it has anymore in it. I'm pulling the motor out shortly, to take a peak into it and make a couple small changes. Also, I want to see how the cam belt drive I designed has held up, so I can make any necessary tweaks before I start making them to sell. And so far, it has performed flawlessly!!

All of my testing has been 1/8 mile since the closest track is 1/8 mile. I may try to get out one more time at a 1/4 mile track, if I can find one open, the weekend after next.
