Sounds like your'e about to build one Doug.
I can just imagine a serious N/A street brawler coming from your garage.

I'm going to visit you this Summer.

No new builds yet. Just always curious. Look forward to seeing you.

Well, the Cuda is going to get a few upgrades later this year...So not a new build, but always evolving.

10 teens so far in my 31 Plymouth coupe, surviving Drag Week with no breakdowns and no trailer. For 2018, Drag week was a test n tune, the car is new and unsorted. I learned a lot. I expect to get it into the 9's, when I put it back together. '58 chrysler hemi, Edelbrok X3 intake, T56 magnum transmission. It's a very fun car to drive on the street and the track.

You go Joel.

Bringing out the real American Graffiti props. Love it.

Nice reaction times....lol

Well I am pretty old.

You're only as old as you feel....Couldn't help but notice that.....knocked myself out this weekend sleeping at the lights in the forth round.....been there done that.

joel, how heavy is your coupe ? i know you have answered that question before, but my old brain just can't remember.

My old car... plenty here knew it

70 Duster Uncut, un mini-tubbed
Full bone stock interior except replacement front seats. 3350 race weight
X block
422 cubes
W5 heads
Comp”mild” roller specc’ed by Dwayne. 273/280 699/672. Isky tool room springs( checked fine for 7 consecutive seasons without replacement)
Victor W2 modded for W5 heads. Bullet proof Jesel sportsman rockers( still on it to this day 17 years later)
002/003 s/s springs
Had both 1100 dominator and 1025rs race Demon on it.
Car ran best 9.85@135
Drove it literally everywhere, including to work most every day in good weather which was 15 miles round trip. DId require 110 fuel
I bet if i could pick the parts i could get a Indy headed smallblock to run sub 10 sec 1/4’s on pump gas. Mine was heavy and ran a 727
3000/3100 pound A body with a 904 would be super easy on pump swill

At this point I can only sit back and watch this thread.

"On paper" my junk should pick up enough w/ the new engine combo to have chopped off a few tenths from the old bests of 10.5s, but the only paper that's going to count is an ET slip w/ the #s to back it up.

Race weight on the coupe is 2725. It came in 175 pounds over my projection, so I need to put it on a diet. THe time slips I posted are from Drag week, reaction times don't matter, only ET. If you foul up your pass and want to make another, you could wait for hours. The car was bogging off the line, so I took my time launching to try and overcome the bog without screwing up. Hence the reaction time measured on the calender.

Last time my junk hit the scale it was 3755 w/ me in it... and the car & driver combination has probably gained another 40-50 lbs since then. Diet my a$$...

I hope to join the 10.30 ranks later this year. Best is a 10.54@3525lbs. Later on a leak down test found 2 leaking exhaust valves and one leaky intake valve, a really bad timing chain, and a bad roller lifter. Hopefully fixing those things and cleaning up the transition from the intake to the head port helps it out a little. My goal is 10.3x in good air.

Right now my biggest holdup is getting off the couch and into the garage to put the motor back in.

Does my Camaro count It has a gear vendor and AC runs on pump swill and no power adder

Ya know the red car was still going to get ice cream 4 years ago. Went 8.89 with its small block on pump gas here in Vegas

Some cool cars and combos here for sure. Thanks for posting them up.

9.54 at 140.44 mph, 1.320 sixty foot, 6.05 at 112.9 mph 1/8 mile
3800 lbs cuda, 572" hemi on pump gas 93 octane (all motor), 727, 4.10 Dana, 295 drag radial and Cal-Tracs

67 Barracuda, 408 stroker, 13:1 compression, e85, 750dp, ported Edelbrocks, 264/268 @0.05 w/ ~0.420 lobes, Victor intake, 727 manual VB, 8" PTC converter, 4.10 gear, 3250lbs on Hoosier DR (275/60/r15), 3" exhaust.

Mine is right about there, although the only time slip I have on hand is from a recent bracket race so I was on the brakes HARD (I thought I was holding 3, turned out it was a little more) I drove the car to the track this particular day...this was the 4th pass on the motor since I built it. The air was bad this day (humid and DA of ~3300). Slip shows 6.620, but would have been a 6.57 or 58 if I stayed in it....with a very thin MOV, lol. Under full power it was hitting the stripe @ ~104mph. Should be in the 6.4's soon when it gets a little cooler. I drive the car all over town...e85 is a wonderful thing :-)

Your time slips are near identical to my old slips when I had the 408 or maybe that should be no surprise as we have the same cars with the 408 built with almost same components. Runs strong.

I've decided I'm gonna get a 9.xx NA, even if I have to hide a bottle to do it.

(Yes, that's intended to be a joke...)

Haha, yeah, same cars, and we're both named Dave, too funny! I just got a bigger carb (Holley 950 XP e85 carb) that I'll be trying out this weekend. I'm hoping it picks up a little.
