Well,my goal for this year it to get my car into the the mid-12's.
I have driven the car to 13.04 @ 110 mph.
To help me achieve my goal,this year I bought wheels/slicks,centerforce df clutch,electric fan (for the drive to and from)and Calvert Racing front shocks.
383 4-speed 4:10 gear Novice Driver.
The quickest I would like my car to see in the 1/4 mile is 11:80(car would probably fall apart
John




With 110 mph you can go low 12's with good hook. I ran 12.30's @ 110 about 10 years ago in my old 383 Dart on G/60 McCreary's. SS cars will run high 11,s @ 110 with their great suspensions, Ron

I'm a busy guy, so my time at the tracks are limited some of the seasons. My car is a true street brute and driven all over the New York City streets. I would love to run 10.0hs and still keep its presumed civility intact. 10.0hs is about all I want because any faster is a lot of time and maintenance and things get delicate.
That's why my belief of a lite is might vehicle is some times a better and realistic approach.

i will be more than happy if i can run a high 10sec run and preferably before my friends nova gets a 10sec run,its just one of those things that would be nice to do

i wouldnt worry about 8īs in a arrow, more than one car over here with a shorter wheelbase that runs faster with short wheelbases, i know of a ascona that ran a high 7 and thats a real short litle shoebox..

Go turbo, like I plan on doing this summer, if $$$
stays in my pocket, and not somewhere else

Eric always has to ask these complicated questions. Lets see I ran a 8.60 in the 1/4 with a bad barry grant fuel pump and Indy heads. Next time out it will have the B1 heads on it and a few other changes so it better run some 8.00's or a high 7 or the piece of junk is for sale.


Does it still have the bad barry grant pump?

Yes it does. That along with the roof and quarter panels will be repaired before it hits the track again. My old pump started leaking after about 11 years so I just bought a new one and was going to have the old one repaired to keep as a spare.

I'll be happy if mine just runs at all.



And I can't wait to see it run Dennis!


My project is likely to be faster than I plan on driving it, IF I ever get it done. The cage is built to a SFI 25.3 spec (6.50 at 3600# Max.) for the most part, but I left out the funny car cage so I can still use it as a "street" car, so it will only cert. to 8.50 as is. I have been 8.50's in both a door car and a dragster, and feel that is plenty fast for me. I dream of being able to drive to the track, run the 8.90 SuperComp class, and drive home with little more than a tire change in between.

If the Drag Week event is still going when the car is completed, that would be "THE" event I would love to participate in.
