REAL good numbers for the first time out!!!!!

Great combo. I had figured 11.50, great runner, and more to come I'm sure.

An 11 second street car = FUN

The 60 ft is pretty decent if you are stalling up to 2,000. I think you could pick that up if you allow the converter to work, after all it is a tight 10". Try leaving off idle. I mean make sure there is air between your foot and the pedal before matting it when the tree lights.

I have to agree about the MPH. A good converter would be locked up at the stripe. So that shouldn't be it. A carb too rich will not MPH and will definately leave lazy.

Hey, first time out with no problems. That's a plus. Faster than the cars has ever been another plus.

Want to go faster. Try my launch method. If the engine stumbles tune it. Install at least one new plug say in #1. Shut the engine off after safely passing through the lights and in your case slowing down to a safe speed. (After practice and learning your combo you can do it right after the finish line if you have manual steering and brakes) Carry a wrench switch out the plug or just look at it on top end if you wish. You should be able to identify if it is rich. It it looks rich swap a smaller jet in the carb front and back. You can try as much as 4 numbers. If the plug looks reasonable try just going down 1 size in jet. Your MPH will tell you if you are going the right way. MPH is HP don't care what anyones dyno says. Use MPH to tune the carb. You can even try timing again MPH will tell you the best to run in your car.

Good luck I see 10's in your future.

If I can help just ask.

Most important is that you had fun.

But when i jetted down my Dart (9.0!AF) i was 7.4 1/8 and went 6.9. so work some on the carb first if you want to go faster.

Nice! Gotta give a lot of credit to a big cubed small block.

Wow thats great ! It runs right about where I do in my 63. Your 60's weren't bad for the combo. My best is 11.49 @ 116 with a best ever 60 ft of 1.57 but it was a 1.60 on the 11.49 pass. And my 1/8 mph is usually 93 mph so you have good #'s for that combo. I love 11 second street/strip cars you can drive around in. I hope mine becomes a 10 second driver soon. But you did great and the car ran great. Very nice job. Ron

Wow that's a little better (.1-.2) ET than I expected....but then i figured your heads were more like 280-ish (like mine) and not 300cfm.

The et is very good for the MPHso the combo is working, I'm wondering if the intake may not be keeping up with the heads at the top of the range which hurts your MPH some, but all the same I wouldn't give up the dual plane's additonal grunt because it seems to be ET'ing on torque.

Nice job, buddy, and Nice car!

I'm the DAD and i was also the driver of the car this past event, the car did the best it could do as it was, it was a down to the wire to get it to the event, but due to gremlins with the driver and in the set up, including wheel spin it could not live up to it's full potential,but we had a great time and did NOT break, so thanks to all that has had any input through this build, it's gonna be FUN !!!

I just noticed the 1/8 mph of 83 mph ??? Dont sound right for 11.52. Are you sure its not 93 mph ? Ron

Lol... Good catch, Ron. 93.5 MPH.
