No I havnt had spray on it since 1989 . I was trying to get more mph . Like I said I just missed it . Oh our trip to track didnt go to well we had a constant 20 plus mph headwind . The track was also marginal at best . The two passes I made I was out of the groove .Could only go 5.77 @ 121 and 9.05 @ 147 . (I can run more mph an the stop)One buddy of mine with a Camaro was 2 tenths and 6mph slow and another with a truck was 3 tenths slow so I guess this thing will run 8.80s .

bigjimzlll · 03-19-2008, 02:30 AM

How much do youusually pick up on the back half? Looks like you picked up 26mph on that pass. Thats pretty good with one of our barn doors. I'm about 23-24mph

Super73 · 03-19-2008, 07:46 AM

Interesting Jim. I would have thought you would pick up a bit more MPH than me in the last 1/8.. Last time at the track I went 89mph in the 1/8 with 110mph on the big end (21mph). My recent late night solo farm field test showed 93mph 1/8 and 116mph (23mph). I know it's not the track timers on the last one, but the Gtech was with in .1 and 1mph on a bunch of back to back track passes.

bigjimzlll · 03-19-2008, 07:59 AM

I was just looking at my last pass of of last year.
60'-1.35
660'-6.07 @ 112.47
1320-9.60 @ 138.31

so I picked up a touch less than 26mph...I was still tuning most of last year

Super73 · 03-19-2008, 08:12 AM

Change your sig

Still says 9.95 @134..

bigjimzlll · 03-19-2008, 09:33 AM

I hope to be faster the first time out this year....I;ll wait til I get the 5.9x sub 9.50 pass

I usually pick up 30 to 31 in the back half wide open or on the stop . Normal back half et on the stop 3.32 to 3.35 , w/o 3.22 to 3.25.

Yea, I'm finding out the 3.08's are not going to work very well. I'm looking for 3.42 or 3.73s. I may end up with 3.73 because I want to keep the 12 bolt. Pull strong but a little more gear will tear up the tires better.

I'm guess 14's with traction. What da think?

djracer · 03-22-2008, 06:23 AM

you should be able to do that!

kwhite4 · 03-23-2008, 12:12 AM

567 BBC
Dart block
Callies and Manley guts
JE 14.5 slugs
Profiler 360's
Crane goodies
Sniper intake with 1150 Quickfuel DOM
All ported pretty
Dynoed 1011 HP @ 7400
almost 900 FT LBS
Abruzzi 1.80 Super pro glide
Moser Fab 9 With 430 pro gear
Ladder Bars and coilovers

Dont know what she will turn yet still needs cage and a few other nic nacs.

Went from mild BBC to this and nothing would carry over, had to change everything from fuel system up

Man this sport is costly but alot of fun.

OH speaking of costly I bought 10 gallons of fuel today, at $11.00 a gallon good thing I dont drive on the street no more.

sqrbdy · 03-23-2008, 06:29 AM

Here are a few pics of mine.

First 2 Pics are the way I took it to the track last time. Street Tires with 35 psi in the tires. Spun the tires for the first 150 yards.

gm 350 crate motor
vortec heads
510 lift cam (not sure of the other specs for the cam)
demon carb
long tubes
100 shot (never even hit the bottle, hell I couldn't get traction with motor, no way was I gonna try juice it.
3500 stall

14.14 1/4
90.83 mph

Second two pics are how I am going to try and combat the traction issue.

How much time do you think I can shave with the slicks and the bottle?

djracer · 03-23-2008, 08:35 AM

sqrbdy that's a sweet @ss ride the slicks should help a bunch!

Super73 · 03-24-2008, 01:33 PM

105.60 mph and I missed 2nd gear. I ran it up to the rev limiter and left it there it seems like forever then I shifted. I just installed a Hurst Promatic 2 Ratchet Shifter and I was excited about the launch and just forgot to shift. That annoying orange light on the tach should have gave me a better inidication that it was time to shift

. Oh well it was only my second time in my life to go to the track. I think it will get better with more experience.

60 ft was 1.79

reaction time was 1.0095 (I know I waited to long but I had to finish my sandwich

)

djracer · 03-24-2008, 06:23 PM

cool! Seat time is your friend.
! Try leaving on the bottom yellow!

69trk · 03-26-2008, 04:35 AM

sqrbdy, love that color, very nice truck!!!

sqrbdy · 03-26-2008, 05:26 PM

Thanks for the compliments. I am really loving this truck.

Oh yeah, and this is justy an absolutely fantastic forum. There are just a bunch of very nice folks on this board. Some of the previous hobbies I have been involved in the people seemed snobish, that is clearly not the case here.

djracer · 03-27-2008, 06:51 AM

Thanks for the props on the board! I have been on several boards and this one kicks all their @sses!

collin86 · 03-27-2008, 10:29 AM

man if you can get traction and get the shifts and reaction times dialed in...you can be in the 11's with no bottle.

what hp numbers are you runnning
