My Dad and I got my car out for what is likely the last test and tune of the season on Saturday. I fought a clogged fuel filter for the first two passes but after cleaning that it pepped back up. I kind of guessed at the tune, I had removed the SD card from my ECU and for some reason after putting it back in it was losing connection after the burnout so I was not able to log any runs, so I added 3% of fuel each run until it fell off on MPH. Best of all I drove it out there and Drove it home.

New Best, the DA was around 800-1000ft

1.567 60ft
6.90 660ft
99.?? 660MPH
10.85 1/4
124.11mph

416" R1 block with Shady Dell W2 heads
Comp Solid roller with 4-7 swap
Megasquirt MS3X sequential EFI with coil on plug
1000CFM 4150 Throttle body
Indy W2 intake converter to EFI with 1" milled off for hood clearance
8" TA converter flashes to 5400
4.56 gears with a 28" tall slicks(thanks to Wade Metzinger for the tires)
This is in my Fat Barracuda that crossed the scales on Drag Week at 3590lbs with my 240lb rear in it.

EFI 416, I have been really really happy with the EFI. I went the full on built the ECU yourself Megasquirt kit from DIYAUTOTUNE.COM and couldn't be happier.

Congrats on new best. Nice modernization on an old school car. That must turn some heads when they look under the hood! How many people asked you if it was a Chevy engine? haha

Congrats on the new best, really nice car and I lost both times to you at the Mopar race last month, although the first time I forgot to turn my fuel pump on and it died halfway through the burnout, lol. Anyway I am a fan of the fastback barracudas

The 660 MPH was 99.88.

I would like to have a nickle for every time someone walks by, glances under the hood, does the double take then turns around and walks back to see more.

Am I proud of my son, you bet I am!

Thank you! It went tens the first test and tune I hit after drag week. I figured some fuel pump issues out after drag week and that picked it up some.
