Well I got 2 passes without gas '
had 1.49 60ft 7.02 at 95.96 mph
1.49 60ft 7.01 96.27
it was real bad humid and muggy
so the first time tried to leave with 100 shot at 35 deg timing and it just plane riped the tires up and spun like crap, so I uped the tire pressure to 14 pds. and the the best was like hit the bottle at the 60ft and run it to the mph cone and left off it was done on 6500 and it was prob about 700 on the bottle pressure and it went 1.47 60ft and ran a 6.73 at 101.64 mph,,,so about 3 tenths pick up ,,, the 4.88 gear is way to much for nos with a stock cam...lol the air was just not there like it was last week.. and my fuel was 93 and 110 mixed half and half,,,, well it time to put the 4.56 back in....but im happy with my motor..

 

I would like to see pics of interior where weight was removed if possible man. I am astonished every time I see "2350 lbs" in your sig.

I have trapped a best of 98 mph, so your car shows how much I should have left with a better 60 foot.

At least you didn't break anything!

 

ive cut out part of the door metal and beams it still has all the plastic on insides, it has the top part of back seat but not the bottom,, no console, I cut all the air and heater wiring stuff like that,,, it has only one seat,,, door panels still in,, I took all the bumper struts and metal beams and plastic beams out,,i took out just about everything u don't need,, but I do have a mchrom-moly front end and a-arms with coilovers,, I have 5 gal aluminum cell with spare tire part cut out. ill try and get back again and weigh it again, and get some pics posted..

well tonight is bracket night,,, ill try and post what it will run tonight,,, ive got a few things to try out tonight,, but its also muggy today too, so might not run the best...

 

I'll be back in town late tomorrow.... going to Paradise if weather is good

 

Windmill let us know how she does
Streetknight let us know how sunday goes.

 

well didn't do real good racing,, we had a fan relay went bad, also my buddy broke his nova so we double team my car so we both went out 4th round
these 2 is my time runs
.496 red
1.49 60ft
7.01at 97mph
2nd pass
.506
1.48 60ft
6.98 at 96 these was my only time runs
1st round the other guy ran first then the fan relay went bad so the temp was on 200 so turned the gas on, this run the guy padded the gas on me 2 time waited till he left then sprayed hin at finish line and went back in front and got the win
.507
1.52 60ft
7.07 at 95
next pass got a easy run so I didn't squeeze the tree and and won.. so the car did well for what had happen.. it was muggy bad, so everyone slowed a tenthfrom the week before,, if we was not double team the car the car would run 6.98 all the time,, the guy that went up first went went 6.98just about every pass,, he got beat only because he let the other guy get bye him when he padded the gas on him, it was like .008 at the finish on him... but was a good night,, sorry for so long post.

 

Nothing wrong with a good night bracket racing. Sucks about the fan relay. I dont doubt the 2350 for a second once the cutout wheel comes out to play. Lots of stuff you can lose once you tell yourself its not a street car anymore OR that youre willing to live without it.

 

My 30 amp relay is melting, going to throw a 40 amp on next week, probably Sunday.

 

well I got the vic jr intake back on again,,, I rejected the 800 dp(4780-2) I had 75-85 in the carb when I had the rpm intake on,,,, 2 more day till test and tune again,,

 

Uggg, Sunday won't get here quick enough...

 

well got some passes in,, first pass with the vic jr and the 800 dp,( with dual plane I had 75 and 85 jets in it and it ran 6.98 last week),, ok tonight went 6 sizes front and rear,, would not make it down track run like 7.8's ok next pass took 3 sizes out front and rear. it went a
1.55 7.18 at 92.84 till kinda fluttering some
next pass put the same as when I ran the dual plane 75 and 85
1.51 7.006 97.02 ran good
next pass did nothing to it
1.51 7.017 97.02
next pass went to 73 jets in front
1,53 7.031 97.02 it fluttered little when left
next pass everything the same
1.51 6.988 97.02
so I guess me changing to a vic jr with a bone stock motor and stock cam you stay the same jets or less,,,,, only thing I can see that the stock cam just cant get any more fuel and air in it to make it run any faster,,, so hope this will help other people out maybe down the road,, but now I did lose a little oiin 60 ft from the 2 intakes...

 

If bracket racing was based on MPH , you would be THE MAN! 97.02 four times in a row. Talk about consistent!!
Speedtigger saw the same thing between the single and dual planes. If I remember right he lost some 60ft with the single plane but picked up a MPH on the big end. That was in the 1/4. I think he was quicker in the first half with the dual.

 

I'm still in shock that the car runs what it does with a basicaly stock motor in it. How much does it weigh?
I would expect that the intake wouldn't need any more jet or maybe one size up in good air. Now you have everything in place to take advantage of a cam swap. Keep it mild because of the converter and the car will rip.

 

yes speedtigger said he had to go up 4 sizes in jets in his car,,,, I would still think mine would need more to but I guess the stock cam(I think like 490's in lift) just cant put any more in it,,, the ole mustang works real good for bracket racing. the car should be around 2350 without me,, im right at 290. I have a z06 cam here and some 241's kinda wanting to put them on just to see what they will do,,, also im just leaving at 2000 rpm's. yes I lost some in the 60 fts going to the vic jr, but its still running the same

 

I wonder if you would be better off just milling the 317s with the LS6 cam. Looking forward to see some results.

 

well it looks like im going to put the cam in first and get some et's with it... then work on porting the 241's some and cut them 40 thou, and run the smaller head gaskets....

 

Well, i went down two jet sizes in the front and 3 in the rear to get from 11.4 to 12.7, car didnt pick up much at all. Guess these engines really arent that picky. LOL

 

yep u never know what these motor's really need,,, but im a tune freak,,, I try and get the most out of what I put on the motor...

 

well done some good Friday night at the races,,, I won the run for the money payed 110.00 bucks and got to 8 cars and won a little bit more,, so was a good night the car did great 1.47 60fts and run a 6.92 at like 97 mph.... and this is with the vic jr intake,,,

 

Great results! Less than a 10th between the two intakes. I guess that would prove that a feather weight car doesn't really need the extra torque the dual plane gives as much as a heavier car does.
So....when you stabbing a cam in it? Id really like to see a 1320 pass to see if it noses over at the big end or busts a 10 sec pass out.
