True Street car ET's - 11/09/10 09:40 PM

Just curious..

What kind of ET's are you guys running that are true street cars.

Let me define "street cars" for this post.

Functional headlights/tail lights
Inspection sticker and can pass inspection for thier state
No lexan front windshields or side glass
Pump gas (E-85 ok)
Tagged and Insured
Full interior
Drive it the way you run it!

Im not trying to eliminate people/cars. I just want to see what is out there. Not a race car that can be driven on the street with a few changes, etc.

When I drove my Duster on the street, full exhaust, street tires, belt driven water pump and all with a W2 340 I could just lower the tire pressure and run 11.70's in the Florida heat.

Re: True Street car ET's - 11/09/10 09:47 PM

9.50s at 140 mph on motor. I race it the same way I drive it on the street w/ the exception of the mufflers. It's been 9.50s w/ the race bullet mufflers. I street drive it w/ Flowmasters...been 9.60s w/ them on it.

11.84 so far. I think it needs to be faster yet, but I'm working on it. Drive there, run, drive home.

10.5s @ 126 MPH on 275/60R15 ET Street Radials weighing 3755#s w/ driver.

I drive it in, set the tire pressures, and blast off.

Re: True Street car ET's - 11/09/10 10:04 PM

11.57 @ 117.86 mph so far. (Ran 11.64 @ 118.26 on a previous pass the same day.)

This is in 100% street legal trim. Air cleaner, full exhaust back to the rear valance, and with the car seat still installed in the back seat.

The way we race it is the same way you see us driving the car down the highway or around to the local cruise nights/shows.

Cast crank 440 w/ 906 heads.

Edit: No power adders of any kind either.

11.0 at 123 in mid 90s heat, 2000+ ft DA

Hope to get out at least one more time before it gets too cold or the tracks close, it should be good for 10s in the cooler weather we have now.

No trailer here yet, so wherever it needs to go it goes under it's own power.

Zippy at 123mph you have a lot left in it. good air should bring you some 70s or 60s. Go back out before it's too cold.

Thanks for the encouragement

The worst part has been watching the videos of it 1000 times and looking at all that wheelspin At the time I was happy to be there and running at all, and was trying to stay cool.

Changed out some suspension stuff, plan on launching differently too...that and better weather should get it there...just need to find the time now. If not there's always spring, but it'd be nice to get it done sooner!

Not to hijack, but I'd really like to know the rest of that motor/converter/gear combo...

What's it weigh??

sure, car weights 3360 with me,just reweighed it.
indy intake,indy 360-1 heads ported to 228cc's,268/272@50-.714/.688-108 solid roller,5400 dynamic 8",727,4.10 gear on mickeys 325/50. the carb is a bigs 950 stage 5 plus and works awesome. i think that covers it.

I agree, I also have a coupe with a 408, but mine only goes 10.86 w/open headers on a 10.8:1 408. I second that on hearing about that combo.

[Email]12.29@107.5[/Email] SLOW

The car can haul 5 people, Tires never rub. Has a full stereo with 4 speakers and a 12" sub in the trunk. Will idle all day long in traffic and not overheat. No tire changes, no taking mufflers off or uncapping the exhaust. Working lights, heater, wipers etc etc.

I've easily made 500+ passes, thousands of street miles as the car sits.

Re: True Street car ET's - 11/10/10 02:08 AM

Mine is slow too, best of 12.40 @ 108.9...but can idle through Detroit freeway rush hour and construction traffic without a problem. Car seat for my youngest in the back.

1/8 mile stats, of course. Just a couple of weeks ago the Cuda went 6.97 @ 102.5 on street tires, no DOTs. 3,450 with me and fuel and it gets 12.5 mpg. Pump swill only and have driven it up to 200 miles a day. Oh, and that's all motor.

No DOTs as in no stickies? if so, wow!
Posted By: DaveRS23

Re: True Street car ET's - 11/10/10 02:58 AM

No stickies, just regular street tires. I have been running 7.15 to 7.30 often enough. But Sunday before last, it went 6.97 with a 1.54 60'. I think that the track had some prep left from the Saturday night program. Normally we run test and tune on Friday nights. I have 2 full years and probably 3,000 miles on these tires and they are getting short on tread and are as hard as rocks. I think this is proof that Cal-Tracs do work.

Re: True Street car ET's - 11/10/10 03:04 AM

I love driving to the track and racing and then driving home. Everything on my 63 is legal other then the tires I am using right now but I have been just as fast on drag radials as these radial slicks. I even have wipers and had to use them before. I also race it as I drive it other then lower tire pressure. I have never uncapped it but I might try it the next time out. Best has been 11.49 @ 116 with my 906 headed 440. I hope my pump gas eng I am building this winter will put me in the 10's as I will still drive to the track. I love street/strip cars. Ron

Re: True Street car ET's - 11/10/10 03:14 AM

Still getting some stuff lined out but so far mine has been 11.72@114on drag radials and full exhaust. Its got about 20 street miles and 15 passes on it so far. I haven't driven the car in 7 or 8 years until these last two weekends. It feels good to get out and drive it again. I need to dive deep into this thing to figure out why its not as fast as it looks or sounds lol.

Re: True Street car ET's - 11/10/10 03:18 AM

the ONLY thing I change at the track than from the street is tire pressure! the rest is in full legal pump gas street trim! I have a full interior also Id say thats a truest of the true street cars!

(but thats just my thing)

10.01 in the heat so far! 3400+ lbs

Re: True Street car ET's - 11/10/10 03:30 AM

You guys are fast! I've only made 10 passes on the new combo, but I drive it there, flog it, and drive it home. Best is in the sig, worst is only a tenth off that.
I need to learn to tune this thing, as most tell me my combo should be a lot faster than it is (??)

I refuse to feel bad about a 12 second street car built all by myself on a shoestring budget, though.

Re: True Street car ET's - 11/10/10 06:57 AM

At Monster Mopar in St.louis with the ez efi my car did a best of 9.80 @ 139.13 mph in the 1/4 , 6.33 @ 112.40 mph in the 1/8th with a best of 1.54 60 ft. Now with the fast xfi and e-85 My car has done a best of 6.14 @ 119.33 mph in the 1/8th at my local track ( 114.33 actual mph my local track seems 5 mph higher then others). It was missing/popping some above 6700 rpm right before I shifted to 2nd and going through the traps. I only have 3.23 gears so I rev it out in 2nd in the 1/8th about 7100 rpm. My 60 ft has improved to a best of 1.43 with this new setup, along with the high rpm miss the data showed I was lean, but until I fix the miss I will not know for sure about it being lean at high rpm. I did richen it up more for the next time I go to the track just to see. Hoping it is open one more time this weekend, but it is calling for rain. Here is the 2nd pass I made at benton.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V6m0fg28l2o
Went 6.25 @ 118.85 mph ( 113.85 actual mph ). my third pass was 6.14, my fourth was 6.18. Hoping for a 6.0x pass once I fix the miss/popping. If you listen to my car over the chevy rattle cage in the other lane you can here the miss some right before I shift to 2nd.

I've run 10.50 @ 132 weighing 4100 + my 220 in the R/T.

Yes I run some 104 octane at the track , however just for extra insurance I do not adjust timing etc from my street tune. So other than slicks and drop exhaust open i am fully streetable. Hence front license plate in sig.

For the record my Duster did have treaded dirt track tires on it as this was before ET streets and drag radials but otherwise could pass a state inspection nearly anywhere. A true 344 cubes with no power adders.

Now uncorked with slicks it was an 11.10 car.

That's an argument that will never be solved on here, LOL. I say if it can't be driven through heavy traffic without issue, it's more of a race car.

But my husband says if the motor vehicle office is dumb enough to give him a plate, it's a street car.

I know that there are a lot that are "street legal" and the question of "True Street" is subjective. Heck, my Challenger that went 9.3's was in that category!

I think a lot of cars are stretchin' it here and I do realize that everyone's opinion of a street car is different. PS and AC is nice, but not required. I think a lot of cars would have to drop out of this thread if you had to drive 30+ miles to a cruise night... Strap the kid in the back seat... and maybe drive it to work once in while. I think we'd be left with a bunch of 11 second cars.

Re: True Street car ET's - 11/11/10 01:01 AM

Mine has gone the best of 12.50 and is a completely street legal complete car. Full interior,working wipers,radio, heater,lights,column shift,full exhaust out to the tips(never unhooked). The only thing I change at the track are the tires and thats just for practical reasons but it hooked well with drag radials. The rear tires I use are Hoosier Quick times but why ruin them on the street

I have to respectfully disagree, if it is legal to run on the street and is licensed for street use then it is a true street car regardless of what everyones personal opinion of the matter is.

Re: True Street car ET's - 11/11/10 02:53 AM

As stated before , I guess street is subjective. I don't drive my car much on the street , but I can when I want to. My car never had a/c or power steering , but the heater kicks ass and all my factory stuff works.

I had thoughts about removing my AC, PS and Stereo stuff to try and get below my 4200#, but I decided I would accept a slower timeslip and not suffer when driving it. Without the AC - I would have to park it for the AZ summers. I can't show up for work smelling like I ran a marathon.

I love driving my 63 and I can drive it as far as I want to. Its a 90 mile round trip to the track and it was a 180 mile round trip to Carlisle this summer in 95 degree July heat in Md. But like I said I love driving my Mopar. Ron

Well our street car has been 10.20's on pump gas. Weighs 3800lbs has a/c and an overdrive and is as quiet as a mouose. No power adders either. Jeepmon can attest to most of that. We can drive it anywhere on any grade of fuel. Someday it will have some real tires on it and hit it with some nitrous and we will see what it is capable of. Horrific 60' times but it does ok getting down the track. It meets the OP's criteria. It can go anywhere or sit in traffic and never get hot. Can cruise the highway at speed with ease as well. It is raced on the same junk tires it drives around on as well.

My Dart Sport has been a best of 10.24 at 132mph on pump gas. Definately not as fast as some of you guys. It has a full factory interior and mufflers. I street drive the car, slicks and all. Wife doesn't care to ride in it as much as she used to though.

Re: True Street car ET's - 11/11/10 03:26 PM

Im not saying it has to have AC, etc. Im just saying that is really a true streeter if you have all that (if it came with it orginally). Street car is a street car.

However, the saying if it is tagged/insured it is a street car is a farse. There are plenty of race cars that you can do that too.

When I lived in Colorado I drove my Barracuda to and from the track (60 mile round trip), and the car had to pass Colorado emissions (car strapped to a dyno with the sniffer in the tail pipe + inspection). It ran 11.12 @ Bandimere (5800ft above sea level)on the bottle back then.

Now that I live in Indiana (with a new motor) it runs 10.90’s NA and I still drive it all over the place. Current times in the sig.

Re: True Street car ET's - 11/11/10 05:02 PM

Back in the early 80's I would drive my Cuda to the track with the slicks in the back seat and the floor jack in the trunk. I'd change the tires and drop the pipes and race. The car would go 11.70's-80's 115-117 mph. The eng. was a 440+.030, TRW dome piston (actual comp. 10.9) Crane hyd.552/528 cam, torker, vac. 750, hooker 1-7/8" headers, 3500 stall conv. and 4.56 gears. An 11 sec. street car was pretty rare in the 80's especially with a hydraulic cam but other than the 4.56 gears being a little too much it was pretty mild mannered. Here's a pic with 12.00 on the window from late in 81. I was 19 I wore that 12.00 on the window like a badge of honor.

I drive my car to work several times a month. To cruse nights a few times a month. Took my kid to the doc saturday in the challenger.
Had to get milk from the local store, 5 mins, just have to drive my car.
I drive all the time.

My only draw back. 12.8 to 1 comp. Wish that I would have built my stroker different.
I have to mix gas. No problem really, my GF buys the Cam 2, she likes the way it smells. lol

Sunday morning my GF and I went out to breakfast, then to the grocery store, and took the long way home. Hit every back road we could. Even a dirt/gravel road. Is that a street car???

Oh, and with a few 6000 RPM passes through all the gears. Then let off when in drive.

Why do you say that? The turbo cars are the easiest to do that with and then run big numbers. I ran 1200+ miles with mine on drag week and flogged it at every track with only one cooling issue and it turned out to be a defective fan clutch. On the last weekend out, I drove it 2 hours to the track and ran the 10.10 while everyone around me unloaded 12 second trailered drag cars. I also took it to several cook outs with the kid in the back seat. Look at Chip's big E body. He does the same thing yet runs 9's.

I have driven mine 100 miles round trip to my friends house in the middle of nowhere just to do burnouts in his driveway and play around. My 2 sons love going for rides in it. I have a flex fuel sensor installed to run gas when I can not find e-85. My plan is to do drag week if I can get the time off. I built the car to cruise and run heads up king of street racing which I think is the most fun.

From what I've seen lately, I do believe that turbos are the way to go. I think that stuff is really neat, but honestly, I must admit that I know nothing about it and wouldn't know where to begin. Seems like a lot can be accomplished with a fairly mild engine/gears and a turbo.

11.09 @ 119.4mph. Not fast I know, but I'm workin on it. 10s are coming.

While it's not a "daily driver", it does get driven every chance I get. Heck last winter I drove it twice. Not far, but my then GM daily driver wouldn't start , so out of hibernation came the Dart . Was interesting with the drag radials on .

A lil vid of this past summer.



It's nice out today here, so another cruise is in order before it gets put away for this winter.

Re: True Street car ET's - 11/12/10 07:35 PM

10.77 @124 - It runs consistent 10.80s on the 4bbl. 10.90s in the heat of Summer.

All I do is swap my street tires for my slicks. If I change to drag radials, I won't even have to do that and I'll probably be a little quicker. My bird has a full interior, everything works from the dome light to the wipers, no lite weight parts, and no roll bar (yet, I need one). It runs on pump gas. It has a CD/MP3 player and a 4 speaker stereo. I drove it last weekend to the hardware store and ran a few errands with it. Driving a 10 second car to the grocery store is a blast!


I plan to freshen up the motor this winter and see if I can squeeze a little more out of it. I think high 10.50s are possible with a looser converter, more gear, and a few tweaks here and there.

Inspection not needed when running historic plates in MO as far as I know. If you are running regular MO license plates, then yes you would need one every year or 2 depending on your choice of tags. Our cars have not been state inspected in years...actually, my wife's Barracuda has never been inspected. Just mail the registration and $ and it's good to go. With that said, I don't have a problem if they ever enforced inspections on them. I think most of us keep our stuff in pretty tip-top shape mechanically.

Let me define "street cars" for this post.

Functional headlights/tail lights - Yes
Inspection sticker and can pass inspection for their state - No State Inspection in California
No lexan front windshields or side glass - Has original glass. The body and bumpers are all steel except the hood scoop 3400lbs w/me.
Pump gas (E-85 ok) - Mixed w/100 unleaded (sold off

the pump )
Tagged and Insured - yes
Full interior - No Back seats but has original dash,gauges and headliner with race bucket seats
Drive it the way you run it!- Only change is tire pressure. Have driven it 50 miles round trip with my grandson on a booster seat to a few car shows.

Were you at I-57 last Sunday? If it was your car there, it's awsome, when it came idling my pit it was so quiet. Then i saw it run low 6's , I about fell off the trailer. Honestly I thought you were spraying it. Does it have a 8 3/4 in it? I couldn't tell from where I was standing. I'd put a bar in it too, but thats just me. Very cool fast car .

I drive mine to work, cruzin and have driven it to get groceries on a couple of occasions. It's been mini tubbed, has the frame tied and has a roll bar. I hated to put the bar in it but the thought something happening at the track (1/8) at 104-106 mph without one didn't appeal to me. It has Kirkey seats, at the time I couldn't find a decent set of factory low backs. The ones I found were $400 and meeded recovered, the covers were another $400. It also has a glass hood and front bumper.
It has full interior, factory gauges, factory glass, good heater, wipers work well, the map, glove box and trunk lights all work.

It runs high 6.50s in the 1/8 with 1.38 60's on street radials without the exhaust on it. It's powered by a pump gas 408, a 9.5" converter in a 727 with a 4.10 geared Dana and weighs 3260#.

I'm probably disqualified from being a "street car" (at least thats what one of the local gm guys said) because I don't have a horn. I had to remove them to install a puke bottle. If I ever find a beep beep horn I'll find a place to put it.

Awsome Dart, I seen the 3:23s and said what...then I seen the BIG cube numbers

It seems many have opinions on what a real street car is.....I say if you can drive it downtown in the town you live in by the PO PO and they do nothing your golden.

If you get pulled and checked, drive away your golden.

If your junks on a flatbed and you have a fistfull of tickets, its probably not a street car, I think the states we live in govern that semi well......thats why I have GA tags, they hate that here

That reminded me to get one for mine. Just ordered a universal one since I put the MSD in the stock horn location. I'm figuring I can find just about anywhere to stick this one!

I have pics of me and my 63 driving on the street. By all means it is nowhere near the fastest but I feel happy with the performance for what the combo is. Thats all that matters is that you get your car to run good for the combo you have. Ron

Re: True Street car ET's - 11/15/10 07:08 PM

I have to wonder how many of these "street cars" that are running 10's and low 11's are running a nitrous kit to get there? I have the feeling there are at least a few guys here that have outlined their combo, and conveniently left out the 150-shot plate kit. I know Turbo seems to be the best way to go crazy fast and stay streetable, but lets stay within the budget of the average street / strip guy. Of the guys driving to and from the track, and getting deeper than 11.90, who can claim 100% N.A.? We know the Red 63 is on the list..... Who else?

Re: True Street car ET's - 11/15/10 09:33 PM

It really doesn't matter what you do to get your et's...

What is more interesting is to hear the cam/converter/gear sizes and how loud the vehicles are...

IMO, a real street car would have a little hydrualic roller in the .228 duration range, no more than 3500 stall, around a 3.54 gear with a 30" tire and be super quiet like a factory cadillac and still run 9's!

Oh wait, that sure does sound like mine!

Drove it to work tonight. 6pm to 6am. 4 1/2 hours to go.





Were you at I-57 last Sunday? If it was your car there, it's awsome, when it came idling my pit it was so quiet. Then i saw it run low 6's , I about fell off the trailer. Honestly I thought you were spraying it. Does it have a 8 3/4 in it? I couldn't tell. from where I was standing. I'd put a bar in it too, but thats just me. Very cool fast car .

I drive mine to work, cruzin and have driven it to get groceries on a couple of occasions. It's been mini tubbed, has the frame tied and has a roll bar. I hated to put the bar in it but the thought something happening at the track (1/8) at 104-106 mph without one didn't appeal to me. It has Kirkey seats, at the time I couldn't find a decent set of factory low backs. The ones I found were $400 and meeded recovered, the covers were another $400. It also has a glass hood and front bumper.
It has full interior, factory gauges, factory glass, good heater, wipers work well, the map, glove box and trunk lights all work.

It runs high 6.50s in the 1/8 with 1.38 60's on street radials without the exhaust on it. It's powered by a pump gas 408, a 9.5" converter in a 727 with a 4.10 geared Dana and weighs 3260#.

I'm probably disqualified from being a "street car" (at least thats what one of the local gm guys said) because I don't have a horn. I had to remove them to install a puke bottle. If I ever find a beep beep horn I'll find a place to put it.




Yup that was me. There was a lot of mopars there that day more then I have seen at I-57 in a while. I did put a roll bar in it. I did not want to but safety first. It does have a 8 3/4 with 35 spline axles and a spool. I looked but could not find a locker for 35 splines. Stock wheel wells just has offset hangers, cal-tracs with mono leafs afco double adjustable shocks in back. I have a tci streetfighter converter 10 inch rated 3500 but flashes to 5k, still tight for street driving to suit me. Its all steel bumpers hood ect. No bottle here just lots of cubes.

Low deck indy aluminum block. 4.5 bore 4.375 stroke 6.535 rod. Diamond dished pistons 16.5 cc. 440-1 heads cnc ported by modern cylinder head 350cc runners 75 cc chambers for 12.2 to 1 compression. Harland sharp 1.6 ration rockers. Isky red zone lifters. Bullet cam 264/274 @ 050 690/690 lift. Tti 2 inch headers gona buy the step headers 2 1/8 some time. Magnaflow mufflers.

Re: True Street car ET's - 11/16/10 01:01 AM

Mine is NA and has an 8" Converter and a big nasty roller cam. Its also slower than it should be LOL but I am lining that out. (11.70s)

I think streetable is a matter of opinion or tollerance. Mine is loud, rattles, has no heat or AC and I love it. Sure it would be nice to have overdrive and AC but I have played that game with a mustang. While I miss the comforts of the stang sometimes its just not the same as old school muscle.

my challenger is a total street car. with a 340, 727, and 3.91 gear, its run corrected 12.1's. i think its a good street car, tho, i do suffer hearing damage after a 5 hr trip, my back is sore for a few days ( stock interior/ seats), the gas mileage sucks, its loud enuff at idle that people either roll their windows down and drool, but as time goes on, and the whole "greenie" thing catches on, i find more people roll their windows up!
it has all the stuff it came from the factory with, working radio, wipers, lights etc. well, except for the power steering, i thought that was for wimps, so i went with a 16:1 box
my mother wont ride in it, my lil guy loves to watch it go, but gets nauseous from the noise when he sits in the back. Very few of my friends get invited for a ride anymore, because they refuse to learn that you dont NEED to SLAM a car door to get it to close! " BUT dude, your supposed to slam old doors to get em to shut" it takes more effort to shut the door on my bloody fridge!!

Me too. All motor also, but I've got to admit, I bought a trailer last year, so it's my choice now as to whether I drive or trailer the car. For 35+ years, it was driven to the track. I was driving it when it was going 11.8's.

I hate to even post on this subject as I've not got a complete 1/4 pass in without breaking or bending something. According to the math the motor has enough steam to run a 9.60-9.70, with the chassis it's in though I'm guessing real low 10's. It runs on 89.5 octane swill, tagged and insured and driven everywhere. It even has cracked 10mpg a couple of times when I drove it nice.

I have to wonder how many of these "street cars" that are running 10's and low 11's are running a nitrous kit to get there? I have the feeling there are at least a few guys here that have outlined their combo, and conveniently left out the 150-shot plate kit. I know Turbo seems to be the best way to go crazy fast and stay streetable, but lets stay within the budget of the average street / strip guy. Of the guys driving to and from the track, and getting deeper than 11.90, who can claim 100% N.A.? We know the Red 63 is on the list..... Who else?





100% N/A here and although I don`t have all of the creature comforts, that wasn`t the plan. The plan was and still is to have a fast N/A car that I really drive up to 60+ miles at a time and whoop on the nos and turbo guys and so far so good...............

The only power adder I have is my right.... and left foot!!!!!

Re: True Street car ET's - 06/06/14 10:08 PM

I'm running a single-turbo for my power adder on my heap to get 4200# street truck to run 10.50's @ 133 mph. Magnum 360, mild cam, EQ Iron heads, M1 2bbl intake - in a truck.

Without the power adder it would probably be a 13-second ride.

I agree! I love stick cars. I read that you're the original owner. That's twice as cool!

My 'Cuda DW project will be streetable but with no creature comforts. I dig the "Two Lane Blacktop" theme.

fact is could be faster as only have 520 net cam lift and 440+0.055 ci.A little weight reduction wouldn't hurt either .
Car is only legal to 11.00 - no roll cage , fire suit , unlimited licence , tech etc

Same here as I have never even owned a car with a power adder. But I have to live within my budget and I cant afford to blow up many engines so I like to stick to N/A like many here. Just put about 50 miles on my 63 tonight driving to a cruise spot. I do enjoy that I do drive my car to the track and race it just as I drive it on the street capped up on pump. Actually I have never uncapped my 63 or had race gas in it and thats ok with me as I am getting old and dont want to slide under the car at the track to uncap it and I cant afford race gas anyway.

My Satellite has run a best of 10.60 @ 127.... With a pump gas 440. I working on trying to get it to hook.... I can't launch at over 2000 rpm on the converter or it will just spin.... Don't get me wrong I wouldn't drive this thing down the interstate but it still wears everything it needs to be a legal street car and I take it to cruise ins and run errands with it.....

Re: True Street car ET's - 06/07/14 10:08 PM

I havent run a true street car on the track in over
20 years... couldnt afford to bust it up.. now I built
the Rampage but it hasnt been on the track YET.. but
based on math it should run 9.80.. but I only want
10.0 to 10.1.. I'm hoping to get out in a week or so
to start dialing things in... I worked on the carb the
other day but I went a touch lean for cruise.. seen
the coolant temp raise 5* in the cooler evening temps..
was great in the heat of the day.. so I'll fatten it
up some then start some WOT testing at the track...
so till then its all just math and I'll let you know
how it does on the track

Just drove mine to the local 1/8 mile track last night, which is only about 20 miles each way. I'm sorting out a new combo and only hooked on one pass (where I took off in 2nd gear). Went 6.42 @ 113.47 with only a 1.602 60' time. 100% factory interior, drag radials, exhaust, all steel 70 Charger. Not the quickest thing out there, but not many cars around here drive to and from the track.

That's pretty good MPH in the 1/8 work on those 60's and all is Good.

It has potential. I did leave out that it has a Procharger. The car was previously a N/A car that went 6.71 @ 101.5 with a 1.44 60' All I did was swap head gaskets and the cam when I threw on the blower. I'm still tuning as last night was the first outing with the setup, but I see 6.1X @ 115 as a real possibility. I need to learn to read plugs better but my wideband is saying I'm pretty rich. I'm only running 8-9 PSI as well.

I drove my Barracuda to the track last Friday for the Good Guys All American Nationals at Lucas Oil Raceway, entered the Street Machine 1 category (11.99 and quicker class), laid down a string of 10.79's and WON THE RACE!!....and drove the car home again...left a lot of folks with their jaws hanging open.

I love that kind of stuff!! I went to TNT at a local track Friday night to try to get my car to 60ft. better. I popped the hood to let it cool off and I get people checking it out saying " That still has all the headlights and wiring in it". I need one of those sun shields at the top of the window that says "This is a Street Car".....

My 'Cuda runs mid-10's thru full length exhaust, 3800lbs on the motor,91 octane pump gas,DOT tires,gets between 12-13mpg. I have driven it on the Car Craft Anti Tour twice, both were between 350-400 miles each way,have driven it on MANY other drives, cruises or just cause I felt like driving it to breakfast with friends 40 miles away.

Re: True Street car ET's - 06/10/14 12:15 AM

Mine is not a car but I drive it on the street. I have been driving my D50 to the track and running it. It is a 40 mile round trip and the best ET so far has been 6.29, 109 with a 1.33 60ft. It is small block on 93 pump gas, drag radials, mufflers and 2950 lbs. I just put a bigger carb on it this weekend and hope to go faster this Friday night.

Thats cool. Kinda reminds me of my last time at the track as I ran 10.76 three passes in a row and still lost in the second round running a 10.76 on a 10.75 dail. I was kinda very pleased and surprised as here a street car I drove 45 miles to the track with just SS springs and it was more consisdent then I thought it would be. But I kept thinking I would run a new best and it just wanted to run 10.76 all the time. Oh I lost to my brother because I hit an .078 lite to his .012. Ron

Hey Doug, the Anti Tour this year is tentatively going to Escondido on Friday ,July 25th then to grudge night at Barona the next day, haven't heard a definite plan.
I've never been able to get pics onto this site as I'm not great with computers and my old laptop had issues, maybe I can get my new laptop to get it done.

Heres my street car. This pic was back in 2005, but combo is the same. Pump gas 470, Indy SR standard port, Victor intake, solid flat tappet, 4200 converter and 4.10's. 140 mile round trip drive to the track. (Cross fingers that nothing breaks). Best ET is 10.98.
