I'm sure it weighs 2621 lbs. with me in it. That probably lessens
the novelty of breaking the 10 second barrier for some but, whatever.

As far as titanium nuts go..........this car doesn't take the clankers
I thought it would to drive it into the nines. I limited the front
end travel to 3.5" and it drives like it's on a string......almost.

Other than the pump gas 346" engine, it has an ATI 6250 RPM stall,
8" converter in an A&A aluminum drum 904 (2.45:1 1st gear) Dana 60
with 5.57 gear and 31" slick. It goes through the lights at about
8000 RPM. (converter looks to have about 2.4% slip)
Thanks for all the kind words.

Light or not, that`s haulin ass...........Wish my dart was that light...

no matter what the haters say thats 1 bad small block....

People take me the wrong way in person.......probably more so in text.
I wasn't saying that to anybody, in particular. I know "race weight?"
is one of the first questions I'd have asked. I'm a number cruncher too.

The car/engine exceeded my own expectations. (A RARITY!) Believe it or
not, this engine was assembled from my pile of SB parts that "should"
work without spending any more money to finish. It veered from my original
plan, because it was going to cost more to do it that way.

I agree with the problem in the last half of the track. After reviewing my
log book, pertaining to weather and jet changes, it appears I may have a
carburetor/fuel delivery issue. I think there is more in it, currently.
Fall air should bring better times. My 9.9928 pass was at a density
altitude of 3113' 78.6º 57% humidity 29.01" hg

It's all good.

hi Vic, it was good to finally meet you in person.i agree with the rest, thats a nice little combo you got there.i was somewhat surprised by the cars weight that you told me that was equally impressive to me.

Congrats Vic, thats a great combo for sure!

Thanks Jackie. It really does look better in person. I'll
tell Rod. (He'll read this.) JR better get to the next race
while he's hot. I'm glad he has the car running consistant.
I hope to see you at Norwalk. I can't run at Bunker Hill
until I get my license.

Vic,

Are you running the MP 304 .571 solid cam in this motor?

If so, how do you like it? Done any shift point experimentation?

No, it's not. I have tested different shift points.
Small engines are pretty sensitive to shift RPM.

That's awesome Vic congrats on the times you deserve it!! I need to get my piece on the road now! Did you use those 1 7/8" primary headers?

Thanks Jeremy.

Yes.....they probably cost me 20 HP.

Oh boy here we go....lol Gimme a call when you get a chance this weekend.

that is impressive, both the ET and the weight

Paljon kiitoksia

ole hyvä

Hey Vic, Ya got a pic of that 1 7/8 J exhaust port

I don't alter the exhaust exit shape much at all on the OEM heads.
I straighten up the "corner" on the center ports. That's about it.

When do you plan on hitting the track again????
