new setup, ET results and pics! Crank trigger rules!
new setup, ET results and pics! Crank trigger rules! Well after months of scratching my head with the ignition trying to find out what the problem is, I gave up and put a crank trigger kit + MSD 7AL3 in the car, boy did that fix it!!! Here is what she runs now N/A
R/T .077
60' 1.496 <--!! 100% 94Z28 STOCK suspension minus a BMR rear sway bar
to flatten out the launch.
1/8th 7.173
MPH 95.05
1/4 11.338
MPH 118.28
unfortunately shes now maxing out the stock injectors past 6,000 so it stops pulling hard at 6,000 Ill try cranking up the fuel pressure.
Also, the ignition timing... I have no clue where it was at, I just eyeballed 30ish degrees and locked it in... Car cranks slowly now, Its probably more in the neighborhood of 40 degrees which will kill my power
With proper tuning, more fuel, some new plugs, and more practice on the new setup I think N/A 10s might not be too far off for this little budget 355 Racer
Not bad for self ported stock valve LT1 heads, a cam & valvetrain, and 11.5:1 compression on 93 Octane
when I do get her running in tip top shape, next stop will be bumper dragging 9s courtesy of a 200shot from my TNT F2 kit.

Verdad Gallardo Thats with the new converter installed but I think my car has got way more left in it N/A... I may get a sportsman trans brake for even better 60' but just simply disconnect it for footbrake racing and be legal
I also got the nitrous to play with, the goal is a 1.2X 60' soon and a 9.90 N20 Pass, 10s N/A are the first thing ima go for unless It seems impossible then ill play with the juice after I got it fast as it can N/A

yeah, it's a real sleeper until u start it up and if u don't pay attention to the slicks.man, i wanted to be there and i would have been if i could have. great to see it finally running better. it's definitely gonna get close, but u may hafta drop some weight to hit those 10s NA.
i still haven't found those keys, so i'm gonna go get one cut tomorrow or tuesday
all that work and had to get a key cut anyway.
