1st and goal

Even though it was hot as hell out today I needed to get to the track. I've had the car back together for about two weeks now but was on vacation with the little guy and was fishing / camping / tubing etc....
First pass left at idle and nailed it and ran 10.595 @ 129.08 (1.556 60 ft).
Next pass, left at 1500 and cut a 1.504 60 ft, ran 6.610 @ 104.94 in the 1/8th and ended up with a 10.339 @ 131.57
Next pass I raced a buddy of mine in his 78 Z/28 (he's dyno'd 550 at the wheels with a Paxton ~12/13#'s of boost and a 150 shot
Was going to launch at 2K this time but after we decided to race I figured I'd go with a known commodity for my launch as this was only my 10th pass on the car with this motor and third with the new torque converter anyway....
cut a 1.517 60 ft to his 1.777
6.617 @ 105.32 in the 1/8th to his 7.026 @ 103.02
Ran my new best of 10.310 @ 135.73 to his 10.733 @ 128.02
I then asked a friend of mine to take a video for me and had to ask some dude if I could cut in front of him so I could get the right lane for a better video and as we got closer it looked like I was gonna race some newer Mustang and I was like cool, good video slapping a Mustang around will be sweet, then as I get closer Rick moves some cars around as someone had a pre set up race and I end up againt some early 70's Mopar, w/ full cage, slicks, fiberglass everywhere (no headlights, just lookalike headlights molded into the nose) and I thought now this sucks gonna get my ass haned to me on my best video......
Well campers not today
.611 r/t to his 1.098
1.559 60 ft to his 1.566
10.390 @ 132.22 to his 10.422 @ 129.84
I'll see if I can get the video up shortly.
Gotta thank Lonnie Pavtis ( www.lonniesperformance.com )for helping me select the right stall on my new torque converter as well as all his effort and support in getting the car to run this good........as Lonnie says "who says a CC305 can't make good power" ;)
Also all the above runs were in the high 80s for temp and I was running FLP longtubes with their dual cats and was only in the 630 HP trim the the third and fourth runs of the day.
Looing forward to taking the cats off and getting some colder weather and laying the smackdown in 654 HP trim (not sure how much taking the cats off will get me but I'll be sure to post as I'll be going back to New England Dyno and Tuning to find out ;)
