Default New best 7.69 @ 179!!!!!

ok so its not ls1 powered but its still fast... .


took the pontiac out to virginia motorsports park saturday to do some testing. i think we got all of our problems straight. ran 4 7.74's in a row. played with it some more and ended up with a 7.69@ 179 w/ a 1.12 60ft. the 60 is still a little slow. we're shooting for a 1.09. not bad at all for the adjusted altitude reading close to 2000 ft on the weather station. do i hear 7.50's?

You still have some catching up to do man.

7.26@190 all motor (@1000ft)
Jerry Bickel 63 Vette



Course it ain' LS1 powered either, but ya never know, if a true outlaw class ever opened up, we may shove something LT or LS based in it to take everyone's money.

9.90 @ 176 is badddddd!

My Dad is going to run Super Comp 8.90 @ 200. It is a 1977 Chevelle 588 Blown and injected on alchohol.

Madman, Dad and myself are trying to get the bugs worked out.

I love footbrake also. You have to drill the tree and drive the top end.
