Default (sigh) another new best...

This is starting to get old... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" /> Anyway I proved to myself that my (mostly stock) suspension is set up great. No major changes since last time out other than adding my ypipe/cutouts in place of the dual 12" extensions. (The car is much quieter with the ypipe on. It added 20#s to my race weight.)

I ran back to back 6.846 (1.460 60' on one, 1.457 60' on the other, ~99 mph both runs), 1/8th mile, 2300' DA. The car was really pulling the wheels up tonight, it was a ton of fun to drive!

It looks like at a decent 1/4 mile track I'd be damn close to a 10.6x run! What does pepper run in the 1/8th in 2300' DA? How about Tony in his big-bad-MTI super mega super stroker? Project F Houston is shaping up nicely. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

All I need now is a trip to Sacramento for some 0' DA's and good traction!

To give a little tech input, I believe that the stealth lid is helping me leave harder than the normal lid. I think it gives me more cooler air during the first 60'. I used to dead hook to a 1.50 60', now with the lid and 60# off the front I spin slightly to a 1.45.

LOL...thats freakin awesome Terry!!

I wish I could have been there, but i had to work tonight. And if there are any doubters out there, i have two witnesses that saw those runs <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" /> Terry, your cars really leaving the line hard for basically the stock suspension that you have.

Congrats on the E.T. Cant wait to see what that Z runs in 0 DA. high 10.5's? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Also may have re-gained a bit of low end tq with the addition of the y-pipe. Looks awesome...maybe I should put those heads on my motor! Looks like I may be up and running soon, got some good news today <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

That is hauling *** for that kind of DA... With the 'glide, my car isn't running too much quicker than you in the 1/8th. I hope to pick up some by swapping the TH350 back in.

Was this just an 1/8th mile track you were at?

I'd guess 40rwhp and 500rpm on the peak. It must take some major torque to cut a 1.3 60' time with a 1.82 1st gear and no brake. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

Congrats on the new best. As for the 60' times, shedding 60# off of the nose affected it a LOT more than that induction did!

Congrads Terry. You just keep getting faster and faster. I would like to see your car at a track that hooks as good as Irwindale and has good air like the dirt pit, 10.50-10.60 <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" />

It's an air lid with a low radar profile. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

Damn that's pretty good your 13:1, solid-roller 346 is running as fast as Campbell's stock shortblock heads/cam car, CONGRATS! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

</font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">The 13:1 solid roller setup is coming soon, still using my MMS/stock shortblock 11.3:1 229 cam setup. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" /> I've got big hopes for 10.40s with the new setup after I get it all tweaked out.

FYI Campbell isn't using a stock shortblock.

John, I run 26x15x10 hoosier drags on 8.5" rims from a 3rd gen (they stick out 2" on each side).
