really? no comments?

Nice cut on the 60 foot. Just curious what size cam you're running, as the mph seems to be on the low end...

Congrats 11's are just around the corner:)

who the heck are you?? lol

Nice drop in et, but if you have a cam and p&p stock heads, you should easily be in the 11s which might be one of the reasons why you're not getting alot of comments. You did mention the weather was crappy though..

nice run!

i do have that

My mistake, I meant "SINCE" you have cam/p&p heads, not "IF".. However, you still should be in the 11s. As far as your stock p&p heads, it can hurt et/mph if they're not ported right.

the weather was very damp rain was all over the area and the wet air was not helping power, that and he cant drive for crap since he is used to his slow cavalier lol.

as to who i am i ill give you a hint, we spoke on face book tonight

you ass!! lol

Your before and after are the perfect example of the old saying what ever you lose in 60' you can double for the 1/4. You dropped the 60' almost 4 tenths and lost .8 over all. I would say that convert was one of the best investments yet. I feel your pain on the air these motors don't run on water and thats all that was in the air that night. Good luck next time and good work Circle D

did you put drag radial's on @ the same time as the converter? just curious, we've gone easy 1.5's on stock motor'd car's w/a converter... get some suspension work done and you'll be in the 11's easy...

well yeah. i never would of listed the Mickey Thompsons if i didnt.
and already have some suspension done. some better weather and im there in the 11s

Everything looks ok except for the mph on both passes before the stall and after u are only picking up 22mph fromt the 1/8th 89.48mph mile to 111.74 at the 1/4 mph. Most cars I have driven/raced pickup 24+mph from the 1/8th to the 1/4mile. So i would start looking for restrictions, I'd start at the throttlebody forward on the intake side(FTRA or SUX2BU)mod helps,then the headers back. JMO MY old cam only LT1 ran 1.64 60', 7.70's@89mph 1/8th, 12.00@113mph with stock heads. I swapped the heads for a ported set (stock valves) and ran 1.58 60', 7.43@93mph, 11.61@117mph. Maybe you are getting knock retard or get it dynoed. Later

it is tuned. everything checks out ok.


not sure why everyone puts so much on MPH. what i mean is, ive seen cars run 13s at 108-110 mph. and ive also seen cars run low 12s at the same mph.

What was DA?

With that size converter and mods, car should be in the 1.5s.
Seem to be common with circle D. Anyone k.ow if they flash a little lower than advertised?

If you have the slip still... Google drag times da calculator... it will let you know the da as well as corrected times.

i dont put too much stock in those online calculators. but according to that DA calculator it would of been 11.924 @ 113.20 mph.

And that one is pretty spot on usually.

Plug in the supplied info to see what the DA was.

Nice gain with the circle d. Whats your raceweight. Your mph diff seems be low for ur mods. You may wana look into that. My bolton lt1 trapped 108.

around 3700 give or take. and what would you suggest i look into?

511 is actually a very good DA.

There is definitely more in that setup. Race weight Is a little high but that isn't it. I would definitely expect that converter to be In the 1.5 range with given mods.

Who tuned the car?

Hell yeah bro!

1st i would get that pig on a diet. lol Wats your tune look like. Afr, timing, dyno numbers? What are the shift points and gear u are running. U diff got some more in your set up. Youll get in the 11s with ease.

Circle D makes a nice converter. Iv'e been 1.42 sixty on that same converter in my car.

i had the car weighed 2 years ago when i 1st got it. ill weigh it again this weekend with me in it since the car and myself lost weight since the 1st weigh in.

a family member tuned my car. he did it before and owns a garage and dyno where he does this for others. im thinking with more practice ill be faster. there is another track in my area which i want to go to if it ever stops raining.

how hard are u turning the motor

how hard are u turning the motor

6800 rpm

didnt get a chance to weigh the car either. storms on friday dump 2 inches of water at the track. and saturday their was a bunch of cars by tech and thats where the scale is.

Something is up with that setup...6800 rpms with cam ported heads etc etc and a decent converter, should be decently quicker than that.

maybe its the track? i hear it goes up hill some
