Thanks guys, this has been an extreme budget build. It is mostly junkyard and Craigslist parts and I've done all the work in my garage.

Impressive for sure and a Regal is no lightweight. Your mph seems down a little though. By looking at the half track mph I would think it would run around 115.

I don't thinks so. No Brick is going to pick up 26 MPH on the back half at 11.99. 22 MPH back half is right for a car of that power level and aerodynamics.

Nice job! 1.6x 60 foot times too for first time out is darn good! Some tweaking and that might improve a little too!

How mild a cam?

My first time racing at a dragstrip was in high school in 1987

I am having transmission troubles - third gear was sketchy so the trap might have been a tiny bit better.

Cam is a Howards #190245-12 specs: 222/225 @50 .561/.578

I have stripped a LOT of crap out of the car. No HVAC, fiberglass bumper etc. etc. etc. It weighs 3230 (two different scales) and 3440 with me in it.

I was thinking first time at track with new combo?

Nice the cam is similar to the one for my ly6 222/234 @50 with .598/.612 on 111+4 (107 ICL) gives me an idea were I will run thanks!

Aww tranny issues always something isn't there? Good luck!

Nah. I'm sorry I dont agree bud. I have been drag racing for 31 years and have owned 8 86 and 87 Turbo Regals and I still say it should MPH a little better then that. I'm not saying I cant be wrong but I think with time and some more passes you will see that MPH go up by a few,maybe even 4.

Edit: Just noticed post # 11.

Your cam seems "hotter"

I think mine is more oriented toward lift than duration (over stock) which ends up as more of torque/lower RPM cam

Avoiding piston/valve issues was my main concern. I did not want to dig into the motor any more than necessary.
