Good luck Jeff

It is never easy to break a record espeacial in FAST but it looks like you have plenty of smoke! Can't beleive I will be missing this race for the first time in 5 years.

Took 5 years to relize work should come first.

644 hp i thought most of these 340's were in the 500/ 540 hp range last year! Thats a big jump even if the dyno is "happy" cant wait for the results!

Only got a second for a quick update.

The best pass I could get the whole weekend was 11.78 (spiining a little, 1.90 60 ft.) 95mph-1/8 118-1/4. I weighed the car at the track, 3550 race weight.

There were three thing different than on the dyno.

1) 2ft. of open pipe on the dyno instead of full exhaust on car.

2) Fuel supply from regulator back (I am running a 3/8 line with a single holley blue pump at the tank with a 3/8 pickup)

3) Ignition, I ran my distributor on the dyno with the shops MSD ignition box and coil. I am running a SMP LX101 (same thing as a MP chrome box) with a jacobs coil.

Needless to say I was dissapointed but it was the first time out with this motor, need to try some things but my gut says there is not 1/2 a second left in it, but I hope I'm wrong.

I have an LM-1 but the plug is frozen in the bung so no A/F measurements.

I did see a mid seventies GTO (Nova) running it looked like it had a BB pontiac not a SB chevy. I saw some low 12 second passes later he was running slicks running low 11's. Dave said he dropped out and was just making some passes.

We pitted next to Bob K and got to get to chat with him and his daughter a little bit, very friendly guy, I asked about Tom Hoover and he had many good things to say.

Hope all that went had a good time racing and watching.

Thats like a 200hp difference. I was thinking maybe the air was bad, but 1800 corrected is great air. Is this the gto we have been hearing about for years?

I think this is the car Donny Brass mentioned as a GM 350. Dave said the guy came expecting to run tens. I guess he was so dissapointed he dropped out and bolted on slicks for the rest of the event. The quickest I heard that he ran on slicks was 11.2-ish.

This was my first time racing instead of watching with the 74 duster 360.First time back on a dragstrip in about 7-8 years and first time the car had been on a dragstrip period.Best pass was Saturday morning when it ran a 14.50 @ 94 MPH.Had several 14.60's but was consistenly in the high 14's.I did not get to have a best of three race due to some cars dropping out for breakage.I still had a blast and made 20 passes in all.Can't wait for Stanton!
