2002 camaro build up
hope so... that was with a 1.57 60' so shouldnt be too hard.... the carb seems like its "gummed up" a bit so cleaning it and launching it off the Tbrake should help a few tenths atleast... along with shifting it higher than 6k rpms it shouldnt be too hard...
cant wait to get back out there again!

Gummed up.... maybe it's too rich on the 2ndary's down low? Might need a little more timing at lower rpm to help clean it up some too.. unless you're taking the car is physcially dirty LOL. In that case nevermind 
I can't imagine that 6000 rpm is even in the power band yet either, probably need to be shifting it a bit higher then that yes, like another 1000 rpm LOL.

the carb was off a friends car and it has sat for about a year and then sat on his shelf for atleast 6months... so i think its actually dirty.... hahaha...
we will shift it at around 7800 its got a pretty large nitrous cam in it which is meant for atleast a 300shot so it wont run very well NA along with my tight *** converter...

we worked on my car friday night until 6am saturday morning making sure we'd race that afternoon... a 3 hour nap then back to get the car and race!

Oh, the carb is actually dirty LOL. Oops 
With how clean the rest of the car is, I'd have never thought 
7800 Sounds good, and I know you were planning on spraying that thing hard, so if everything is set up for 300+ and you can get it sub 6.50 n/a you're in good shape IMO. That's starting off with bottom 10 second car with a setup meant for 300+ worth of nitrous you're on your way to bottom 8's without stressing too much.
Can't wait to see some video!

actually the car is really dirty... kinda embarrassed about it but any time i have to wash it i always have more productive things to do to it besides washing it... lol...
i'm gonna try and get everything done by friday night this week and take some time and vacuum it out and wash the filthy thing... my friends rag me about my dirty race car.... hahaah

Verdad Gallardo how low is your car to the ground JL? measuring from the rocker panel behind front tire and in front of back tire?
what angle do you have your LCA's set at to get that car to sky like that? do you know what your corner weights are by chance?

getting there slowly but surely....
track was *** and slick as glass....
weather was 45* and windy and cloudy...
60' 1.5739
330' 4.3550
594' 6.1098
660' 6.4960
mph 116.53
i'm slowly getting there.... i think on a decent track i should be right at a 1.40 60' the way it is.
we plan to change a couple of things and should be able to hit a 1.3x next time out and hopefully dip in the 5's....
the car was hauling *** after about 250' out (after i got pas all the bald spots and spills)
leaving the line with a total of 20* timing and ramping 8 degrees in over 1.75 seconds...
as low as the car is and as heavy as the nose is i think i'll end up with about 130lbs of ballast bolted in the bumper... for running these shitty tracks... and after the cars working well i'll start sneaking the weight out...

That MPH is way more then a 6.49 worth... I went 115 mph to the 1/8th and that was on a 6.09 pass. 116 should be a bottom 6.0.
28 jet isn't alot of jet either not for a motor as big as you're running... hell I plan on hitting mine with a 30 as a 2nd stage when I get the car back out, leaving on the 150 plate unless I get the intake changed in that case, probably leave on a speedtech plate with a 150, or if 2 foggers make it into the budget I'll put a 24 or 26 in the first one.
As it is you have the power, just have to get the car working. Was it blowing the tires off right away or a little ways out? Have any video of that run? Be very helpful to get some from directly behind the car.

we had to detune the starting line soo much and it still slipped the tire a little bit... it would make about 2 revolutions and thens start pulling the car pretty decent.... but like i said the track was pathetic at best... wouldn't even make the "sticky" noise like you get in the kitchen when you spill O.J. in the tile floor... lol
we are gonna get the car scaled to atleast 50/50 front to rear and start from there... around here its just entirely too light on the ***... when we start pulling the wheels too high we will gradually pull weight out.
Awesome build....
That MPH is good for a high 5 or 6.0 as stated above... What is your initial timing? Sounds like the timing is way too low. Why are you pulling out 8 and bringing it back in? If you are not having a problem launching the car just leave it in and you should pick it a lot.

the car is still having chassis problems... thats a given but to atleast give us a hint where to start at right now we are adding weight and handicapping it off the starting line...
