Everytime I go, I end up not having a camera, the one time I did(the 10.84 night) it wouldnt work LMAO. We had a rollbar mount and everything.My buddy was pissed...he paid some big dollars for the camera and it wouldnt work, humidty was high is all we could figure out.


If you go to youtube, search FASTFATBOY there are 2 vids when I first got it running from my local 600ft track. It runs low 6.50's at that track cuz its short.

I may take it to Hattiesburg Sunday if the air is good. I will video then.

Took some weight out, thats about it. Still wont 60ft like I think it should. Are high 1.30's too far out there to think about?


I am gonna pull the 4 inch Mufflex off and put the muffler right on the merge, that should be about another 35 ish lbs.

Gonna take it back to the track Sunday, supposed to be even better air. A buddy is gonna drive it and I will film it. He is 85lbs lighter than me.

10.69 in my future?

The weight at your stage in the game is big, I''ve been there.

You get it to 3400 lbs, and I wouldn't be surprised to see the car go 10.5x

Put some race gas in it and put a few more degrees of timing to it and you'll probably see better then that, 4l60 being the weak link that could stop that from happening.

Hell I'd be worried about that thing right now.

That's how I had the exhaust on my car. Gained at the track.

I see what your saying, but technically I am not making more power. I am pushing less weight with the power I have always had. So in my mind I am making it easier on the 4L60E, or at the least not any harder.

The lighter you make it the better it for that 4ljunkie tranny that is for sure, but believe me you're already on borrowed time with that thing

im interested in the results with the mufflex off, dave.
i pulled mine for back to back testing and gained nothing. even with the weight. my car is pretty dead on too, so i would have seen a change.
this is at 3400 pounds.
my new motor might be a different story.
