9.50 first time out. Dave's 98 410 CID THD400 with a 250 DP Fogger runs 9.507 @ 139.75. It was his only run tonight and at the 1,000 ft mark started bouncing off the rev limiter all the way to the 1/4, it needs a gear change. We should be ready with the gears before the weekend, stay tuned. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

Re: 9.50 first time out. Julio, you have a very low 9 in that car. Seems like the car is slowing up top. MPH should be a little higher in the 1/4. Bottle pressure dropping at all?
Nice times! Another LS1 in the nines.

Re: 9.50 first time out. WOW,Not bad for the first time out!!!
Trapping 114 at the 1/8 should be about 144 at the big end w/this setup but N20 MPH is alittle hard to predict sometimes.Should be right around 9.38 once u get the gears worked out.
Have a great holiday guys...

Re: 9.50 first time out. Thanks guys.
It's a cast iron 410, 4.040 bore X 4.000 Stroke. It has a THD-400 with T-brake but since we were thrashing just to get a run that night we didn't get a chance to wire it, we got to ATCO after 8:30 and only had the one run. It should 60' better with the T-brake.
