I couldn't get it to hook..traction was a problem earlier in the day. I would of had more runs, but it overheated after this run, I parked it and just chilled for the rest of the night.
I left the line at 1/4 throttle..

Let me put it in perspective..my LT1 setup ran a best of 10.50@100mph, 1.85 60'..
To break it down even further, I wasn't even in the Peak Horse Power Band for the Heads and Cam, just using the Torque at half-throttle..

What kind of tires you got? Suspension mods, at all? I don't even have SFCs or anything, just ET Street Radials and no front sway bar and I average 1.64 short times and have gone 1.61s quite a few times.

I have a full UMI Performace Tubular Rear-end in it, Torque Arm with a Tunnel Brace Mount/Adjustable Pinion Angle..
It was getting the power to the Tires, it's just alot of power hitting it at once, and traction was an issue..

I say that it said 10.15 and my jaw dropped until I saw that it was at the 1000 Ft mark. What does that equate to in the 1320? Also what tires are you using?

Where are you supposed to be shifting Merv?

dhdenney

iTrader: (53)

Probably somewhere around 6500. That's where I shift my 396 but the L92/L76 combo may rev like a whole different animal.

Not bad man. get it lined out and I see 10's in the future.

Merv you know my Buddy Chris who has the MS3, 6.0, stock heads, Blue Z28.
He revs his car near 6800. If I was you I would spin that motor over 7,000 RPM, big cam+badass heads= High RPM.

you can add 1.5-2 seconds to the ET to get the 1/4mi.also depends on how good the car mph sweet deal Merv

Merv....10's are in the bag for you. I say rev that thing to 6800.

the_merv

iTrader: (88)

It's supposed to go to 7000..I plan on bringin it to 6500 and goin from there.
That equates to roughly high 11's in the 1/4..on half petal under powerband..


I though he was supposed to come down?
