Nice cut on the 60 foot. Just curious what size cam you're running, as the mph seems to be on the low end...

Nice drop in et, but if you have a cam and p&p stock heads, you should easily be in the 11s which might be one of the reasons why you're not getting alot of comments. You did mention the weather was crappy though..

nice run!

608kZ28

i do have that

My mistake, I meant "SINCE" you have cam/p&p heads, not "IF".. However, you still should be in the 11s. As far as your stock p&p heads, it can hurt et/mph if they're not ported right.

the weather was very damp rain was all over the area and the wet air was not helping power, that and he cant drive for crap since he is used to his slow cavalier lol.

as to who i am i ill give you a hint, we spoke on face book tonight

608kZ28

you ***!! lol

Your before and after are the perfect example of the old saying what ever you lose in 60' you can double for the 1/4. You dropped the 60' almost 4 tenths and lost .8 over all. I would say that convert was one of the best investments yet. I feel your pain on the air these motors don't run on water and thats all that was in the air that night. Good luck next time and good work Circle D

did you put drag radial's on @ the same time as the converter? just curious, we've gone easy 1.5's on stock motor'd car's w/a converter... get some suspension work done and you'll be in the 11's easy...

608kZ28

well yeah. i never would of listed the Mickey Thompsons if i didnt.
and already have some suspension done. some better weather and im there in the 11s

Everything looks ok except for the mph on both passes before the stall and after u are only picking up 22mph fromt the 1/8th 89.48mph mile to 111.74 at the 1/4 mph. Most cars I have driven/raced pickup 24+mph from the 1/8th to the 1/4mile. So i would start looking for restrictions, I'd start at the throttlebody forward on the intake side(FTRA or SUX2BU)mod helps,then the headers back. JMO MY old cam only LT1 ran 1.64 60', 7.70's@89mph 1/8th, 12.00@113mph with stock heads. I swapped the heads for a ported set (stock valves) and ran 1.58 60', 7.43@93mph, 11.61@117mph. Maybe you are getting knock retard or get it dynoed. Later

608kZ28

it is tuned. everything checks out ok.


not sure why everyone puts so much on MPH. what i mean is, ive seen cars run 13s at 108-110 mph. and ive also seen cars run low 12s at the same mph.

What was DA?

With that size converter and mods, car should be in the 1.5s.
Seem to be common with circle D. Anyone k.ow if they flash a little lower than advertised?

608kZ28

didnt look. like i said in the 1st post the air was crappy with rain being in the area. given some good air and ill do 11s easy
