Race weight is 3380. I'm gonna have to check Wallace calculators for hp. I'm curious.

A lot of fuel is used in the drive up/back and the burnout

You are probably around 650 crank hp these days. Might have picked up 40 or 50 hp from the change. 134 mph is fast enough to dip into the 9's. Probably just need to find a little more traction off the line or change the launch process. It is still a street driver right? So you are probably limited on how radical you can get with the chassis and launch.

Yes, street/strip all the way, mostly street. I think its a high 9 car, just need to find it. Gonna keep pushin on for 700hp. Indy tunnel ram is next then a more aggressive cam.

Yeah, it burns some fuel for sure. Went with over a half tank and thought it would be enough. Oh and this 12.5:1 compression motor runs on 98 octane with no sign of detonation. Timing was left at 36*. I had penty of engine builders telling me it needs 110 all the time. Don't let anyone fool you, IMO 110 isn't needed with 12.5:1 in a 511 with under 7000rpm usage. I think there are many racers out there leaving power on the table by over octaning. I may get away with 96 octane. I'll let ya know.

My small block is 11.2-1, it made 30 more hp on pump 93 than 98 race gas on a engine dyno.

Awesome results, that's quite an improvement.

Yes my 11.25 408 was fastest on straight pump gas.

Nice run, 662fwhp>

60 Foot E.T. : 1.39
1/8 Mile E.T. : 6.33
1/8 Mile Trap Speed : 107.40

1/4 Mile Trap Speed : 134

Making the assumption that the earlier runs were at Milan on 9-1-2019. The D/A yesterday from 10-4 ranged 254-1223. The previous date at the same times1284-1873. So some of your improvements were due to weather. A gain none the less. As far as fuel consumption. Last week a Mid Michigan we made 9 passes. Used just under 5 gallons. This weekend at Dragway 42 we were pitted at the end of the track. The runs were over a 2 day period. The run times were further apart. This entailed more warm up. 7 passes 5 gallons.

I can think of a few things that I could have done while there that may have put me into the 9 zone. One would be tighten up the rear shock because the separation is huge, two would be putting the wilsons 4 hole tapered spacer on and three, set my shift lite on 62 or 6300 so it gets shifted by 6600. I was a bit slow on the draw. Here’s the next project.

Yes and no. I ran at Mid Michigan the weekend before I went to Milan, so two weeks in a row, but MM was first and the air seemed to be just as good as this past Saturday. Please check the weather on Aug 30 2019 at 9.37PM. That was the time of the 10.401@129.75 pass. Thanks
I ran that weekend without the mechanical fan, then I put the mechanical fan on and went to Milan the next weelend to see what HP it would cost me, but the weather sucked and I lost 2 tenths and 2mph. I'm thinking the weather cost me a tenth and the fan another tenth.

I don’t know how you test n tuners test n tune without your own equipment to check air conditions. Online corrected conditions only tell part of the story.

About 640-
My W5 deal weighed 3350 and went 135, figured it for 640 too

Thats a GREAT point

Ok, thanks for the info Don. I was at MM one weekend when you were there with your old car, seen it run. It is a bad ass for sure small block.

My guess is once your combo settles in, it will run in the 9.80’s with a little tweeking
Its really coming around

Out of curiousity, what convertor and where does it flash

Vert is an 8” Dynamic refreshed by Lenny. Flashes 5400.

Nice big difference what compressing ratio did buddy of mine just put together a 424 SB with 10.50 C/R with a big cam told him good luck it will be a dog.

my 416 is 10:1 with a 272@.050 .658 lift at the valve solid roller. Runs on 91 octane and has been 10.54 in a 3550lb street car. But I agree more compression is usually always better.
