Even if it is a gutted out car, solid roller, or built motor. Has anyone gone 9's on a H/C 346 yet?

Just curious...

 

I think I'm one of the closest maybe...Went 10.16 @ 132 mph with 3280 lb raceweight and a DA of over 2000 2 weeks ago.

NineFinger, one of the local SoCal guys ran 10.1@132? at a track that is 2710' above sea level recently (LACR 5000+ DA). He has run a 10.0x I believe also. Stock 346 lower end.

 

Is this N\A or power adder?

 

I believe NineFinger went 10.0x on a 200 shot and I think he runs low 11s on motor.

My bad! You're right, it was a bottle run. That'll teach me to read sigs!

 

Wow Fear

Just some negative DA and you're there!

 

Very Cool.

N/A no power adder. If you don't mind me asking, what does the car dyno?

 

I didn't get to finish dyno tuning but I left the car at 481 rwhp / 545 rwtq

This is with:
TH400 Transmission
Very loose converter
Steel Driveshaft
12 Bolt Rear
4.30 Gears
29.5" tires

Not the friendliest dyno parts eh?

 

Al Corda.

I think the question is heads & cam only with 1) no bottom end work, and 2) no power adder...

I think a couple of guys have gone 9's or close with h/c and the bottle. Corda's is 0.070" resleeved overbore with S/E'd bottom end (replacement stock compression pistons, etc.).

 

I think Lee's car has a built bottom end because he spins it higher. I doubt anyone with a stock bottom and hydro cam is under 10.5. All the low 10's car are spinning high with a solid cam.

 

Todd, in a week or two, I believe you might need to revise that statement, hint, hint...same cam, etc., just a bit of tweaking on a certain red Formula. Maybe next Friday at Norwalk...gotta get it off of jackstands after almost 10 months! You saw the 10.50, etc., in person last October.

Hope my hometown area is treating you well...

 

what are your mods? still runnin macs?

 

The mods are all listed in the HOT ROD article from April...still running home ported MACs with their stock collectors and 2.5" mufflers / turndowns. Only difference from the article is Strange rear brakes (which I had, they messed up the listing) and a spool I just put in and set up myself a couple of weekends ago...plus, I'm trying a LSX 90mm set up. If it helps at the track, great, if not, back on my old LS6 intake. Take care.

Whats a hydro cam? And whats a solid cam?

 

Hydro = Hydraulic lifters (traditional LS1)
Solid = Solid lifters (higher reving andhigher horsepower due to less drivetrain loss)

Dave, good luck at Norwalk...I know you like that track

 

i thought paul and angies car was still hydraulic roller. 10.2x wasnt it?

 

I believe it is but is not stock bottom end. I think he'll be running 9's and so will Fear soon enough. I'm just hoping for something lower than the 10.50 before I change cam or mess with the bottom end.
