just got home from the track, and...

set a new best with the car on a iffy at best track, went 6.15@110 mph 1/8th mile twice with a 1.29 60ft first pass and 1.32 60ft the other, this car just keeps amazing me.

Anything to do with going to a BB ----

Awesome!

Nice. 511 right?

Congratulations on the new best!

Good job Bill!

Sounds pretty stout. Where would that correlate in 1/4 ET & MPH... mid 9s at 135-ish?

Around a 9.65.

I would say closer to mid to upper 9.70's in my car, and definately in the 135.xx mph range,,I never even got to try out my new air pan, need to get to a TnT and not a regular event to play with it, cause I figure I am going to have to jet up just a little in the cooler weather.

yes Russ I think it may have somthing to do with it, LOl!

Yes Dave it's a low deck 511 with the Trick flow 240's untouched and the untouched TF intake, 2" adapter spacer and a 1050 Dommy.

Ok thanks. You had the 511 dyno'd couple years ago. What were the numbers?

never dyno'd, was going to but with everything that I needed to do to get it ready for that spring, it just wasn't in the battle plan, maybe when I freshen it up, I may try to get it on the pump then.

How much does it weigh with you in it?

not real sure but with the small block and 904 John Holt has it in his file as 2951 wet weight since then I put in the big block and 727 and I am around 215,,so probably a little over 3200, I hope to get it back to him and have the car gone over haven't been back to his chassis shop since the changes.

Wonder what it would have run if you had just popped those heads you were using off the smallblock and put Indy heads on it. 9.60’s?
And not went to the dark side

Running really well for standard ports and 3200-3300 lbs.

Don't under estimate your car Bill. In my 3480 POUND PIG when I ran 6.21 in the 1/8 I ran a 9.75 in the 1/4!! I say you are easily in the 9.6x range

A 6.14 was a 9.73 with my old small block combo. 6.00 was low 9.40’s with my current combo running out of cam.

With SB+727 my barracuda was 3300 with me. I'm 195#. With BB+727 it's 3380# with me. So the BB only added 80# and it's full of hard block as well.

I would not be suprised that the 240's are running out of breath on the top end of the track as it is going across the stripe at around 6700

Very nice! Congrats on the new best!

Good job............ For a comparison I went 6.15 at 112+ w/a crappy 1.40...........Still more there........

it appears the 8082 dommy is getting pretty well dialed in,, now to try the converted 3 circuit and see what it does.

The Halloween Classic is coming up real soon.

Nice outing keep chipping away at it..

What rear end gears are you running as well s tranny- if you don't mind me asking?

4.56 dana 60, 727 trans with a CRT transbrake VB and 5400 stall Ultimate 8" converter

It's running good! congrats
