Big time congrats Coleman.

Very nice times a big Congrats! More details on mods?

very nice. Incredible times.

Awesome job Coleman!!!! I thought you were gonna call it a night after the 8.98 or we would have stayed around to see you bury your PB again.

Those ETS and 60fts are just crazy for a small tire and stock suspension.

Major props to you and your team for a job well done.

Awesome! I was happy with 9.2 at 145+ last Saturday...makes me look slow!

Anyone get any video? Would love to see it. Great job. Dave

Thanks guys, DA was about 200 feet on my last pass....very impressive air... but finally got the car to leave on the money @ 1.223 60ft. very proud of that.. most all of the cars that really fly have mini tubs in order to lower the cars in the back...without them , we know how hard it is to b consistant with these crazy torque arm cars....never thought my car would get there...and with my 625 lift hyd cam...but to mini tub it would take all the fun out of the challege...i do hav a video.. if i can figure how to get it on there.. and anyone running low 9's with these cars are FLYING!!!! there are plenty of ways to make them faster, like lock up trannys, and other ultra exotic combo's, i'm out!LOL

Congrats, any details on the combo? Those are great numbers and certainly worth being proud of.:cheers:

Congrats Coleman, super impressive! :cheers:

I need to have a conversation with your secret weapon, the G Man! Been a long time!

Hey Dave, got the video up.

amazing, both car and driver put in some work! whats the cars race weight?

great job coleman, I knew you would get there and more. I need to go see Big G, been working alot lately.

heads?

heads?

TFS 235's or 245's.

Hey Dave, got the video up.

Straight as an arrow! Thanks for posting it up...

Congrats Coleman, now you see why I put the chute on it!!!LOL

Why so secretive with the combo?
Is this some kind of class car?

I would be interested in some details as well. Race weight?

Coleman can tell you about the powerplant. The chassis is all Madman with alot of attention to detail and TLC by Big G. Then we have the driver Coleman and the man pushing us to go faster Big R.

Coleman, what rear tire you run?

Slick?

Radial slick?

Impressive!!!!!

In reply to (crossbreed 383) . The thought that this is a (class) car makes me very happy. But I class raced 20+yrs ago ,when we won 2 world championships in comp eliminator, for the NHRA. Now I race when its cool outside (did enough sweating back in the day)LOL! My car was done by MadMan, The motor was machined and assembled in orange, tx. (i know never heard of it)Ha!427 ls7 block. T.E.A. Trick flow heads. Etc. Cam by E.P.S. My car weight is between 3020-3070lbs. But all the guys I compete with have (Stock suspension) Camaros and firebirds. All about the same cubic inch.No trick stuff. I've been trying to get the car in the eights for 2 yrs!.We run the ultra light hoosier radial drag slick.And the true(class) KILLER car in this setup is Mr. Massingill @S.A.M. in houston....With over 1000hp and times i
in the 8.20s ..He IS the man!:) P.S. used to run @bandimere sp way... loved it!!!

Congrats Coleman, now you see why I put the chute on it!!!LOL

I Don't want no stinkin chute!LOL!!!!U DA MAN @ 1.223 in 60ft...

Why no chute? You got wheelie bars on it.

Awesome Job to all. This is a nasty and fun setup.

Phenomenal times. Great job!! :)

Why no chute? You got wheelie bars on it.

:D

how long does the th350 live?

holds up very well..i've had it a long time.. usually put new clutches in it about once a year....:)ati unit

So hum?
Long runner or carb style intake?
which was on the car for that run?
Vacuum pump?
Has that block been resleeved/filled or still running stock sleeves?
Still a TEA245 head on there?
What does it 330'?1/8 ?
:D:D:D:D

TFS Cathedral port???
...And getting it done with .625 lift...?

WOW!!! :eek:

Hey Andy hows that new bullet doing?
made any laps yet?
Call me when you get a chance buddy

Congrats!

What fuel?

Your car has always been impressive. What is especially impressive is the fact that you are going so fast without any 'exotic' parts. It just goes to show that properly matched parts on a race car that was tuned with attention to detail, will outrun 'trick of the week' every time.

Geoff, i want to thank u for all ur help. u hav been with us from the very beginning. Anyone wanting to go fast, can count on ur combinations...and you can do ANYTHING with a stock computer, including make them idle right . u r the man!!!!!!

So there are no trick pieces ,and its not raced in a class where your trying to keep a combo from other competitors ,then why so tight lipped?

My car runs out of the box trick flow t.e.a. 245 cathedral port heads and out of the box ls7 block. never needed any more head than that with cam and horse power limitations... my motor makes in the 650-670 h.p. range.. the guys running inch lift solid roller set ups with 2 1500 cfm throttle bodies need monster flow numbers,and make 1000+h.p. not me....we hav always run v.p. gas. 109unleaded and 114...which ever we have..

Your mustang runs as good as my car, and sounds like you have gr8 parts ,so it's up to you to put it all together, it took me 2 yrs to figure out how to really get my car off the starting line...

Hey Andy hows that new bullet doing?
made any laps yet?
Call me when you get a chance buddy

Track rental at MIR Friday so I hope to get some info on it then. I will give you a call and let you know...and maybe to discuss the topic of this thread? It hauls the mail for sure.

Now Coleman i'm not trying to stir the pot:nod:
I just dont always take all i hear or read on the web a gospel is all
I realize running fast is all in the details per say
My car has the potential to run mid 9.50's at your elevation or better as it SITS.
Or should i say SAT
As we speak i have a ls7 block being machined to get my TEA 245 heads ive been running on my litttle 4.030" bore some more room to breath
That along with some intake work ,ring pack,piston redesign,and getting less than 13% converter slippage in this thing,an ass ton of suspension and finally scaling this heap and we may be on to something:D
Also Brian Tooley and i have been scheming a little as well:D
In fact the car was last raced a month ago
At this moment it is sitting in the shop minus motor,rearend,frt suspension,dash ,seats,etc getting all the little tweaks it needs to work to its potential
People such as yourself drive others to better there own program.
If anything im jealous of that sweet air you folks have to run in
If you have raced up here as you eluded to ,then you must surely know what it does to a car/engine combo
I applaud your efforts and some day would love to get down there with you and line our heaps up and show everyone what these OLD CATHEDRAL PORT motors can do :judge:
Good night sir

My car ran 9.40's with a 404 cu in motor..Ask brian, he did the heads..As I said before, my car competes with other camaros that don't have real racing suspension. I love the fox bodies for there pure racing potential. And I feel u will make the best of urs...My car will never compete with an all out racer.. But the time slips we have gotten with my camaro, I am truly proud of..And we have worked very hard with help from others, BUT , nobody gave us anything, we did this...ourselves!!!Week end, week out, at the track...Nothing has come easy with this setup... And as far as the good air, its for anyone who wants it...:)

I don't think he's tight lipped, I think he's just one of them there older guys who doesn't type much. :)

Any pics of the motor, I'm recalling maybe a carb intake and 4500 but not really sure....

Coleman, You should be proud. You guys just continue to impress me with the way you proceed to chip away at your ET. Impressive just doesn't begin to sum it up. Congratulations on all your hard work.

Crossbreed needs to make up his own thread to talk about himself and stop interferring in others.

He obviously doesn't know Colemans racing background and accomplishments. To the rest of us it's no surprise his Camaro runs this well.

Hey Firehawk
Last i checked this is a technical site as in ls1-TECH
Therefore ,if someone is going to get on here and say look what i did ,then someone reverves the right to ask what did you do it with?
Noones saying anything negative here ,and i dont think anyone needs you to defend them :eyes:

Also just because he ran a comp elim car before, doesnt mean going fast in this one is a given:D

Mike, coming from you that means a great deal to me. You know what we've gone thru to finally get in the 8's. And very much appreciate your contribution..... Just goes to show how much punch your little heads have! Hope you come up with something a little x-tra down the road... finally got the suspension lined out...and without mini-tubs. Thanks again...GOD Bless

Hey thanks for the very kind words!!! I guess even for us old guys(lol) accomplishing goals are still a blast!!! And it's a lot more fun doing it at our own pace... And you know it's an honor for people to think I might not have the set up I do, or wan't to know more...My friends know what I have and the guys that help me with, parts, suspension,tuning are all first class guys who I very much appreciate...I know there will b a lot faster guys than me with the little cams. But we are still proud. as you well know these cars are a handful.LOL!!!! GOD Bless

You guys worked your tails off and the combo was there. I called it , but didn't know you were gonna go crazy with it.lol.

I was a bit worried the track might throw some unsafe conditions, but you just motored on down like the car was on a string.

Awesome job dude!!!!!

Awesome job Coleman! I have seen this car run at Evadale track and it always impressed me but I didn't think it would run 8's N/A so keep up the good work.

Thanks, coming from you , I know you know your stuff. You and your wife are a class act....And yes ,I was worried that last pass, but we made it.. Hope to see yall soon.....God Bless

I don't think I've ever seen results this good from a setep like yours, Congrats man!

Verry impressive! Glad to see the trick flows getting it done. Seems like there is always a dyno war beteen cathedral and rectangle but you cant argue with times like that. How many converter changes have you made to get where you are now? Great job!

Great Pass.....
