Another NEW Best ET and some issues UPDATE

Went to the Cecil Street car shootout this month. Right off the trailer went 4.91 @ 141 . Added .5* of timing. Picked up about .6 mph from last month. The air actually was a little worse than last month. 60 foot picked up to 1.16. next couple passes it spun because i kept trying to put more to it early. I guess i should not try to go so fast on such hot days with track temps over 100* LOL
I ended up #16 and had to race number one qual first round. He spun bad, i had some really bad tire shake, but managed to pedal it once to go a 5.19. Lost in the second round, but overall im happy. Car should go in the 80's even in horrible conditions. (3300ft 112water grains)

What car and engine r u running. Thats bad to the bone

its a 73 dodge dart, running in ultra street. 530" BB with B1 heads.

Very Nice !

That's progress Tony! Keep chippin away!

How did the plugs look with more timing?

Literally no heat on the straps yet , so I’m just going to keep adding timing until it doesn’t pick up any mph .

Sounds like the winter changes are showing some great promise for sure. Awesome to see it coming around for you.

Nitrous is so much fun, glad it's going well. Nitrous makes me feel like a kid playing with fireworks..

LOL!

Ditto. I wish I would have started playing with it years ago.

That thing is rocking! Next time you're headed out to test, send me a message or post it. I'll test the same day.

sure, until the firecracker goes off IN your hand !!! LMAO

No risk, no reward!

Nice job tony you have your car running very well

This!

NO , not another new best E T .....

But I have found one issue . Most of my weight reduction has been from the driver seat rear wards . Now finally
Got it on some scales and .... whoooaaa we got a little too much on the front , 56.6% up front . So I’m either going to have to add about 66lbs to the rear ( got me to 54.5%) or get some weight off the front . Looks like I may just have to lighten or replace my STOCK front suspension after all .... lol
Hopefully the 66lbs bandaids it for now and I make it down every time

Dude I'm like 51% on the nose and it pisses me off! I dream of being around 55

Congrats, that is quick ! Bad Ass Street Car for Sure.

Congrats! 4.91 is smokin' right along.

Very nice!

N2, is your Dart Yellow or Cream color?

Ted

Yes it’s “Y3” honey gold

This you back in da day?

Car is just bada$$

That's it. Fastest it went , in that exact pic, was 8.30's @ 160. Column shifter , bench seat , full int , all glass etc.
NOW its got one race seat, different wheels and a cowl hood. And about 400lbs lighter LOL

Still looks pretty normal.

Thanks Al,
Just got it on some scales after a lot of weight reduction, and its a lot heavier in the front than I thought. Looking for some front half hitchhikers now...LOL

With NO heat on the spark plug straps, and more jet to go in the plate, im pretty confident its got another tenth in it. Id be happy to go 80's with it. and its still 25lbs heavy (soon to be 80 with the trunk weight to bandaid the front/rear percentage)

Post up a current pic!
