Well the turd got a bit faster It was a cool day at the track, about 84*f, humidity was in the 20's but the barometer was in the sh!tter. Previous best from a few weeks back was a 12.24@111.40. Yesterday I managed a 12.17 during time runs at 111.55 mph. 60' picked up too from a 1.688 to 1.658. Heres a slip;

.509
1.661
4.973
7.759
88.93
10.146
12.171
111.55

Made a total of 5 runs, 60' were 1.661, 1.660, 1.660, 1.652, 1.658

 

Cool?

What's your setup?

 

carbed 383, Holley 650, th400, 28" ET Radials. It needs gear bad, only trapping 5400 RPM

 

What heads/cam/compression/intake and how come only a 650 carb?

 

I just updated my VB Garage, check it out!

AFR heads, Custom ISKY cam, RPM air gap intake and 10.7:1 cr. The cam is tiny, right around the same as a Hot Cam Only a 650 carb because it made better power on the dyno with it opposed to a bigger carb. Spent lots of time with it on the engine dyno setting it up right.

 

OK I was just curious. So the cam is hydraulic roller? Your combo is similar to mine. How much converter do you have?

 

It's rated at 3600. Had Hughes build me one based on the dyno results, car weight etc. I leave from 2000 on the brake and it flashes to right around 3600 so they got it pretty close

 

You are using a TB with a 7.5" 10 bolt?

 

At least he's not coming off of the brake up against the convertor!

It should last for a while matt is pulling 1.64 short times on a foot brake and so far the little rear has held up!

 

I meant foot brake, no trans brake on a 12 sec car, lol.

 

A few guys have even went into the 1.5s but that's on faster cars that are moving even harder the last 59.5'.

I have never seen a brake on a 7.5" car.
