What's this thing gonna run? 437.1/475.0 What are your guesses on this one - i'll give you as much info as I can. I will have new times Sunday.
Cardomain to see the mods.
Just dyno'd at 437.1rwhp 475.0 rwtq with a broken spark plug since fixed but I won't have new numbers until tomorrow night (Friday)
Track is Quaker City in Salem Ohio 1300ft elevation. I usually cut low 1.7's on drag radials @ 16lbs psi and run 12.6-12.8 @ 105-107mph in the Summer heat.
The track is slower than other in the area due to the finish line being 16' higher than the starting line - this incline starts to take place around the 1000' mark. Usually .2-.4 and 3-5mph slower than say Norwalk for instance.
Assuming I can somehow pull a 1.85-1.90 out of the car - what are your guesses?

Yeah I don't think i'll hook good tomorrow - not used to the blower yet - first time launching with it so i'm gonna have to relearn the car. Tough chore with no suspension other than LCA's and drag shocks with DR's. We'll see in a few hours I guess. Gates open at 9am and we have the track for 8hrs - plenty of time.

First pass was an easy one - 3/4 throttle just to make sure that it would hold - blew the pcv vent tube off of the pass valve cover and dumped about a quart of oil onto the header HUGE smoke screen. Took about 3 hours to fix cause we had to run out to the part store which is a good distance out - anyhow - got it fixed.
Next run was a full on run in eliminations - dialed in at 12.00 ??? Had no clue so:
RT: .580
60: 1.763
330: 4.904
1/8: 7.503
MPH: 94.98
1000: 9.677
1/4: 11.623
MPH: 121.47
Followed this up with 2 hotlapped runs of 11.88 & 11.70
Pretty good day since I was able to still drive the car home. At our other track that would run around 11.30's @ 124 or so.
Need a rear and suspension work to launch effectively.

My best 60' was at the Norwalk track rental - a 1.67 - I love that track 
The difference I see is actually between Quaker and Dragway 42 - just used the Norwalk name because it's more popular.
1 more track rental at Norwalk this year - I want to get some drag seats in there and remove the passenger airbag - lose a little more weight.
BTW - all runs, and the 3475 race weight, were made with between 3/4 and a full tank of gas - something I never do. Usually it's 1/4 tank
