Tonight I ran 5.83 on 250 shot@ 120, it literally slid sideways through the 60. Jetted back to a 175 shot and went 5.81 119 and stood up. Timed it up two degrees for next pass and broke the center out of a Hughes flex plate..wth.. But she left out that time. Can't wait till next fri. And I stand corrected on the 7.0 on motor to a 5sec pass, I have an all motor cam with a tight converter.

I have seen cars go from a 7.2 on motor and then 5.8-5.9 on a 175, but that was less weight in the same fox platform. I'm hoping the anti roll will help on motor alone eliminating water energy on squaring the RR, I'm sure 1.3x will happen on the gas.

So, I wish you guys luck and I'll see if I can get where y'all are now! I just don't see a 5.9 from a 6.9 on just a 150 shot but imma give her hell. The new glass hood will help a touch and I am still going to pull the AC blower box.

Hey zone, I put a 175 on my 302 and went from 7.21 to 6.37, so have faith.

Being a lighter chassis than most and the fact it runs slower than most similar setups on motor, I think it may react well on the gas. I can always substitute driver. I'm 315lbs, so some 120lb sumbich oughta be worth a couple tenths, lol.

Please dont hurt it looking for that damn curve of the strap like we hurt the old mans car.
