Has anyone converted the DA to sea level and crunched the numbers? Is that like a 8.50 in 1500 ft DA?


Damn impressive car.....man you need to come south, we have some awesome outlaw/limited street type stuff down here. Put some drag radials on it and you look to be EZ street legal down here!

This last time out I had the 275 radials on it. Took some work, but we got the sixty down to a 1.32. And I think there was more left on the table there, we just didn't want to stand it up on the bumper so we were coming in slowly.


First qualifying was an easy 9.08 @ 153
Second qualifying was a 9.03 @ 149...it decided to nip a plug and do some cylinder damage somewhere around the 1000 mark. Bummer too, because that was my 8!!!!!

I don't know how I missed this thread when it originally came out, but kudos on the super quick pass. You'd absolutely fly down here.

Hey some of us are still pimping the stock PCM and Stock cast heads and look at what is going on. My whole top end is going up for sale in a few weeks

The 18* stuff is for my bid into the 8s

You pretty much nailed it @ 8.50 at least per NHRA adjustments.... Not an exact science, but its fun to use anyways....

ET of 9.03 x .9405 to "sea level"= 8.49

If I don't go to a Dart Little M over the winter; I'm sure we'll get that 8 up here on the mountain. This was kinda of a "rookie" year for us. Lots of new stuff that we were sorting out and getting dialed in during '08.

To see a 9.03 outta the car this year was leaps and bounds over our original goal for the first year.
