I understand all of that, Rob. Just trying to explain, to those not as familiar with racing, why some are questioning the slips.

Not sure why dynos are even being brought up. I remember Pat's 500rwhp thread. Over 500rw on a dynojet, then under the same conditions on a known stingy Mustang Dyno, barely broke 450rw.

I agree with the notion that if you say it can't be done then prove in can't be done so I can see why you would say that.
Unfortunately for Rob and AMR in this case the record is more important to them than most of the people on here. It was initially posted on here to let people know about the accomplishment.
Probably only 2 reasons to post up the time, any time for that matter.
1-Personal/collective accomplishment recognition
2-Draw future business for shop/tuner etc.
I don't think either of those 2 goals were met here because of the doubt in the members minds and the questions they feel haven't been answered.
Of course Rob doesn't have to prove anything if he doesn't want to, I'd be upset if people started saying this stuff about my set up.

I had no goals for posting. My goal has been met by running the pass.
I'm happy I was able to run the car to most of it's potential. I haven't even taken advantage of the trans yet.(Other than the fact that its held up to all the major abuse I have thrown at it.) I do believe the car has a chance at a 9.8x. I though it would be cool to post how a 346 vette could run a nine.
Mark was also at the track with me about a month ago on a street night when my car ran 10.17 and 10.18 and we were talking right against my car.
Again, doesn't everyone know not to believe everything you hear/ read especially from unreliable sources?
I'm satisfied knowing that most people can agree that:
1) My car ran a 9 second pass
2) My car is a 346
3) My car is n/a
4) That's my car in the video
5) The timeslip matches the video
6) My car weighs between 2700-3280lbs
7) My car is driven to and from the track
8) My car was driven to the track over an hour each way for that 9 second pass.
9) My car ran the 9 on a street night, not a rental.
10) My car ran the 9 on small drag radials that some people think suck.
11) I have backed up the pass.
12) My car has been running low 10's all year even in the summer(90 degrees)
13) My car has run a 10.2x in average air on a pro tree in heads up competition.
14) My car has trapped over 138 mph on 2 occasions.
15) My car dynoed approx. 457rwhp 382rwtq on a MUSTANG dyno.
17) My car's weight is similar to the weight it has been for years even with my old setup
18) My car is fast.lol
.
I can live with that as my resume'.

Okay...I think I do remember meeting him that night at E'town and since he was there then he should have remembered that you had your hood wide open...more than once that night, and that you didn't come on a trailer to the track.

I know MY hood was closed the whole time because it's a PITA pin on hehe.
Don, gates open at 5pm on wed and fri nites, I'm at the gates at 3:45 because I hate to wait on line at tech so I get there early. Unless you're there early and I get to talk to you before the gates open I'm not gonna see you. I have no idea how Rob's car got to the track that day, maybe he drove it maybe he trailored it. To me, if he says he drove it, then he drove it.
I didn't see him leave either. He's got a black vette anyway, they all look alike. Coulda drove out right next to me for all I know, on 4 wheels or on a trailor, I have no idea.

Like I said, I don't remember the hood being open and like I said I wasn't with Rob's car for the whole night either so it may well have been open, there is no reason for me to have noticed it since I really don't give a sh*t who's hood is open at the track anyway.

I think enough has been said.
I'll be sure to post again if I go faster.
From one n/a brutha to another.

Don't forget power under the curve, DA, and 60ft. time, as major contributing factors to mph.
If I was to cut a 1.27 I bet my mph would be a bit lower, yet so would my et.
Or if you happen to spin off the line and cut a 1.50 your mph will be higher.
Plus I'm a six speed vs. your auto.

Rob I have to disagree on one point. You claimed that if you 60fted better then the MPH would show it. Thats wrong. HP showes in the MPH. 60ft would show in your ET. Otherwise internet racing has never been my sport. Show up at a race and WIN thats my game.

haha, since I really don't know sh*t about this 6 speed stuff, I have a question.
I'm going to use my car and Ashleys car as an example because we run similar times, both weigh about the same and both have non loc up transmissions. Only difference is she has a tighter converter right now (and she's a bit faster)
My 1/8 mile mph 111.5 1/4 mile mph 138.8 diff 27.2 60' 1.30
Ash 1/8 mile mph 114.4 1/4 mile mph 143.3 diff 28.9 60' 1.39
If we both had stick shifts, as opposed to non lock up 3 speeds, what would you guys say would be our 1/8-1/4 mile mph's?
Huge difference in 60' here so I'm curious as to what the #'s will be.
We both have bigger cube motors which obviously make more power than a h/c car and our mph diff from 1/8-1/4 at least for one of us is almost 29mph. That's on a non lock up trans though. If we could lock them up or it was a stick shift what kind of difference would we see and is there ANY ******* WAY we could compre this to Rob's pass?
Probably not, hehe WHATEVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!-I give up.

I do know that at times when i cook the launch and my 60 is poor it often shows a higher than usual mph than other runs on the same day.

Wow all this 5K dollar tearin the motor down stuff. Nobody seems to disagree it's a 346 it the N/A part in question. Why dont you just shut all the naysayers up and show up at the track weigh the car let them look it over and make a 139mph pass. I'll tell you what after all this i'd sure as **** do it and then come back here making ALOT of people look mighty dumb. I'm sure There are enough guys here to even toss in a couple bucks to see this happen and pay for gas etc. Me personally not that it means all that much here but i'm having a hard time digesting 33mph on the backhalf with an "N/A" 346 (NOTICE I DONT DISAGREE ON THE 346).

haha yeah I hear that, why not just go back and prove everyone wrong to shut them up?? I mean the worst thing that is going to happen is you get a night of racing and probably some money off of people. Anyway great job, I might have to make some trips to Atco because it sounds like some BA cars run there a lot.

Ok so either something is strange or I am going to drive my C5 off a cliff. My nitrous H/C C5 with 520 RWHP and 565 RWTQ thru a stall and an A4 would have a hard time breaking 130 mph. (126 mph with stock tranny before..BOOM!). And it would take an almost miracle even with a drag pack, lighter weight hell even swapping in your trans and clutch and gears to pick up another 8 mph. TRAP SPEED IS POWER so you didn't gain another 4 mph without having more power...(most likely). SO I can understand why everyone is curious.
SO tell me is it a wet or dry kit?
