I got my truck back from getting the rear gears and posi! In the process I had to have screw in studs put in my heads! It is running like a Raped Ape! Now its time to do some suspension work its scary fast now!

djracer · 01-14-2004, 12:28 AM

I will definately mash on it. I hope they have test and tune this weekend! I've been working too much and racing too little!

djracer · 01-14-2004, 12:58 AM

that just gives me a nice warm fuzzy feeling....not a lot of guys think like us...good luck at the track..post your times

Oborny71 · 01-15-2004, 06:51 PM

what is your drivetrain and motor combo? What times are you hoping to run? i can't wait to take my truck to the track, i've never run it before, so i am excited!

lukecp · 01-15-2004, 06:57 PM

Weren't you running like 14.3's with 3.08 gears?

If you have 3.73 posi now.....i would guess that you are into the 13's (but i have little real-world drag racing experience).

Sounds sweet....post some times!

383 Stroker · 01-15-2004, 07:08 PM

Have fun! Let us know what it runs.

djracer · 01-15-2004, 08:49 PM

Jace's 68 What kind of work do you do and how long are you in b'ham? I'm about 100 miles south!

Bigjimz I love these folks that have 9 second cars but never been to the track! I test everything I own! I couldn't get my 307 to run in my 71 for super chevy so I ran my 03 duramax/allison crewcab 3/4 ton 4X4. I freaked some folks out when I went 9.78 in the eighth with that beast and its stock except for a predator programmer!

Oborny71 I ran a 9.12 eighth mile and 14.31 quarter with a homemade zz4 motor with vortec heads a small stall convertor turbo 350 and 307 rear gears with cheater slicks! I tried the skinny radials but it spun all the way down the race track literally!

Yellow 72 custom That's right I hope the gears pick it up allot. We also found a couple other small problems that have been corrected so I can't wait! My best local track is closed this weekend but I may try to find somewhere to run it! I can tell a major differance in the seat of pants feel! Now I got to work on the suspension but the stuff I want at a deal is about 900.00 bucks (ouch)!

It's January, my truck is barried deep inside a shed in many, many parts.

Good luck! Post some times and pics if you can

djracer · 01-16-2004, 12:16 AM

Will do Tom. Its not much to look at yet but I can make it pretty later. Its the one in my avatar. I have a couple pics that I need to scan from the last time I raced it.
