How's yours been doing, havent seen you posting much.
even without 8s... .02 off is still hauling ***. 8s SOUNDS so much faster but you are already running that combo for all shes worth @ 9.02.
i mentioned a different fuel as in LOWER octane....wouldnt the c16 slow you down since you are still in the 15 deg timing range and was running c10 or 12 before? just wondering and trying to learn. Now if you say insurance...well you KNOW i understand that
I run 110 octane on 5 psi at the track even I will never be under-octaned again!
Hunter, KP is what you and i hope to grow up and be someday!!

Sucks about the weather at SDR, I'll probably skip that too. Thinking of hitting carolina dragway the week after though. Carolina is a good hookin track and if the weather is good its darn fast.

Congrats KP, and I'd not try and shed any weight off the ride. We discussed this a while back during the FSC article, and I know you don't want another "race car" again! 8's will come, I'm positive!

If I hit an exceptional weather day then it will run in the 8s as-is, when I feel this engine is worn out I'll replace it with something larger but I doubt anyone would buy this one so may as well use it up

But its pretty consistent, BS3 is the shiznit for that.

only 18 more cubic inches, more of just a reliability mod so I can push it a little harder. This short block has over 300 passes on it so instead of rebuilding this one I figured I'd switch over to the LS2 stuff. But I'll run the rest of the year on this one, still runs great.

very nice...i see you having it in the high 8's reliably consistant and then mid 8's when you push it...
i wanna get a built ls2 shortblock...some1 hook me up, these have gota be cheap with a standard 4 inch bore piston and basic ls1 rod combo with stock crank....
btw wrong section but yall smart guys are in here does it weaken it much by going with a 4.030 bore in one of those?
