Default Test hits Carb'ed 408

Broke 3 ribs a few weeks ago, so y buddy made some license runs last night at Cecil in my car.

Combo
408ci 4.030" x 4"
Mast LS3 Med Bore 6 bolt heads
Diamond Pistons
Race Proven Motorsports cam
L92/LS3 Victor Jr. w/ ProSystems 4150 Carb
GMPP Distributor cover w/ MSD 7531
Edelbrock Plate kit
NOS Launcher Progressive

Had to make the last 3 runs for license, first run was on nuts for a 10.13@138

2nd run on bottle, car spun on the hit, pedaled it, and went a 9.5X letting out before the 1000ft

3rd run we made some changes to the progressive. 8.731@145 letting off at the 1000ft. Racepak data showed it was hazing the tires through first gear. 1.396 60' 5.614@129 in the 1/8.

Pretty happy as the tune up was a "get the damn thing down the track" set up. Very conservative on timing, high nitrous fuel pressure, and only a 225hit.

Nice runs for sure, 129mph in the 1/8th shows a lot of promise especially with just an "A to B" tune-up in it.

Any video?

How much compression static and dynamic?

Im real happy with the 129mph. Especially considering there was barely a timing mark on the plug and the fuel was way fat.

No video, spent too much damn coin on getting this thing goin didnt get a camcorder yet.

As for compression.... Not enough

Good deal. Non eventful launches are always the fastest.

Damn.

Where are you at on compression on the rear shock settings? Air pressure?

I know you know what you're doing just curious.
