new time slips, im in the 12's finally
 

well after a string of bad luck, from breaking the rear first time at the track and running a dissapointing 13.2, then fixing the rear only to find out when i started it up it was knocking, broken crankshaft, im finally where i should be. best pass was a 12.71, best mph was 106. all throttle no bottle. man it took a while but im finally happy, now to start tuning and hopefully not break anything else.

Congratulations!

That must be fun.

Jim

pics?!!! Congrats!

man thats smokin....

That's fast as hell. :D

.....into the 12's with a small block and no bottle...very nice work

running a dissapointing 13.2. I would be happy to run a 13.2:D

if you and the truck weigh 3800lbs your HP is just over 550...you got to tell me your secrets

Your hauling....i would be happy if mine ran high 14's, lol.

What are the specs on you engine and drivetrain?

Thanks for all the replies, truck is a 68 short fleet, weighs 3575 with me in it, small block 406 with 12:1 compression, dart iron eagle heads with 2.05 valves, lunati solid lifter cam with 1.6 roller rockers which makes the cam have 585 lift. victor jr intake and a 750 dp., mallory unilite, hooker super comps, csi water pump. centerforce clutch, muncie car m-20 four speed, , 12 bolt truck rear with 4:56 richmond gears and moser axles. mickey thompson 30x12.50-15 et streets. i will send pics in when i get home (im at work now :D ) best 60 ft time was a 1.7, but im sure that will break the trans so i backed it down on the launch and was getting 1.8's all day. hopefully with some jetting (needs a little more fuel) i will see mid 12's. P.S. its street legal and still looks like a primered P.O.S ha ha.

Good times! What did you do to get it that light? My truck weigh's right at 3900lbs with me in it. What was your 1/8 mile time and MPH?

Sweet running man! I would say with that 406 and your light weight 12s is pretty good! I am sure that 406 is putting down some NICEEEEEE HP.

have fun with it.
