well the car went out tonite and ran decent, it improved 3 tenths from last year..Still slower than what we think/hope it would run.
The car went 12.0@111
full BMR 12 bolt 430 gear th400 w/brake 4000 converter
224-235 581-595 on a 114 cam, headers true duels...
BUT I dont know how much of a diff this makes, no rear o2's the guy who made the exhaust didnt put them in, and they werent tuned out before and it hasnt been retuned yet.
So how big of a difference would that make?
Car goes to Speed on the 7th so hopefully Jim cant make some hp with that thing and we can go a lil faster before we make any more changes.

no dyno numbers yet, best 60 of the night was low 1.6 I believe.. We are still adjusting the chassis to get it perfect, we went on a street race night so we didnt get much T&T in..

Engine, cam-only? Your stall is way low. Need a more like 5000 stall - if you are never going to run nitrous. You are not in your power band launching at 4000. I'd wait until you get it tuned and dyno'd to find out your power. I ran a 4800 stall on engine (heads/cam) before going lower (4200) on nitrous. Speed will do you right.

Engine is cam only, I believe it supposedly has "ported heads" im not sure if it does or not.
Haider I believe we are going to try and do an Intake and throttle body before we tune it hopefully.
And the only reason we went 4000 stall and not larger is because he does drive it on the street quite a bit still, and I didnt wanna completely kill the streetability.
thanks for the compliments haider and big bill, i'll try and get pictures up of it this week from the track last night. the car does look good, even if it is on the slower side right now.

Did you have the Cameleon Paint Firehawk? Really nice looking car if it is? I had the white formula parked behind you. My time against you was 10.41@129 on a 1.40 60' runing on motor. I have a Neal Chance Nitrous converter, 4800 stall if that helps. Sorry we couldn't help you with the codes you had. It was nice talking with you. 
i ran a ATI 5500 converter that went up to 5k on the brake... it was very tight on the street and drove it all the time.
if you guys are looking to go fast with it, pull that cam out and sell it and put in a big cam... intake tune it and have the converter loosened to about 5k and i'll bet that car goes low 11's if not faster. WITHOUT HEADS

Haider I think we might do that, Im gunna have him look for an ls6 intake and I might persuade him into getting a bigger stick in the thing and see what it does.
We have a Coan 4000 in the thing, if it doesnt losen up a little more when we put the bigger stick in it Ill send it out and make it like a 4500-4800...
He also wants to spray the thing too.
