Took the car to Cecil last night to make some runs before I tear into the engine to do some work on it.

60': 1.545
330': 4.577
1/8: 7.097
mph: 97.15
1000: 9.265
1/4: 11.091
mph: 123.62

Also ran a pair of 11.1x runs

Pretty much matched my best from nice cool air in pretty warm air (~2000 ft DA)

I got videos of the runs too...I'll post the 11.09 tonight

 

Damn. Does your car still weigh 3500+lbs? What are you doing to the motor now?

 

its probably high 3400 range right now (haven't weighed it recently)

I'm going to do some valvetrain work and a bottom end freshen up

 

very nice times. esp for the gross heat.

 

Valve train work and a bottom end freshen up????? So basically your going to redo the whole thing... LOL

 

Nice.

So, are ya going to just going to freshen up your curent set up?

How many miles and track passes do have on your Hot Rod?

Good luck with the rebuild.

Caoch

 

I'm going to leave the current pistons/rings in...but redo the rod/main bearings.

Might slide a new bumpstick in too while I'm in there

 

Sweet.

Good luck brother.

Car has 78000 miles and a shoebox full of timeslips

current engine has ~18months and 75 or so passes I guess but the fact I run 7000 rpm on an unbalanced bottom end (factory crank/pistons/rods) is hell on bearings

 

I am getting ready to do the samething to my cam only motor. It has about 50,000 miles on it and 234 passses since Nov. 2003.

Please keep us updated on it.
