Cam/head stock bottom lt1 A4 runs 11.63 on drag radials
Since James Eddy doesnt have internet access ,he asked if I'd post his new best and I even have to say for drag radial cam /head lt1 the times were impressive...
1st pass
1.70 60 ft
7.469@92.82
11.69@117.04
2nd pass
1.66 60 ft.
7.419@92.80
11.638@117.28
car was short shifting so we have to get that ironed out.As well as get some new meats on this thing ...and possible gear change to take advantage of the upper rpm charge...since tha car only has a 3:73 gear new gear and heavy foot launch will put this thing in the low 11's no prob...

Good runs Joe, Looks exactly like the slips from my car about a month ago.
1.69 60' spinning
7.46 1/8th 93.5mph
11.66@116.95mph 1/4mi. with 3.42's!
Joe his car must be heavier than my car or is he running thru full exhaust b/c I was running dual bullets fro the longtubes on my runs and about 3550lbs.
Later Clint

good tire going on for this weekend and hopefully shifting prob sorted out ..following week putting cutouts on the car and possibly moving the cam in the motor.which will all depend on how things look after it makes a good clean pass.. I like to note changes so I only like to do one thing at a time...

The car feels great! Got alot of issues to sort out like tranny shift points, tires, gears, fine tuning, suspension, ect,ect. I'm pretty damn happy with a couple of shakedown passes. She'll be at the track this weekend and I expect it will be a little different with a 1.50 60'
On a sidenote, the guy I bought this converter from had heads and cam and trapped a best of 109. It'd not too efficient but has a 2.6 STR
It was kinda frustrating not being able to use the stall at all and giving some up on top.
Big thanks to Joe. I have very little money in this car and it is running stronger than I could have dreamed. The motor is all there, just got to get the car set up right now.
It's still hard to believe that a stock cast head with stock size valves that flows around 250 cfm was still gaining at 6700 and made great TQ all over the place

Sounds like you're going to have a very nice running car once it's all done. Are you full weight or have you done some weight reduction??

For all the naysayers about Joes cam combo, please explain why my 403RWHP, TEA heads and comp XE230/236 went 11.77@115.34. Nothing done by Joe. I`m not running the mile an hour people expect. Maybe its the 1.70 60` time, or the very peaky dyno graph, that its an auto w\ a stall, shorty headers w\ no midrange torque, weight, 3:42 gears on drag radials, fullsize 16inch all around...............You get my drift.
This year w\ a dynotune vs mailorder, 77lbs weight reduction, 3:73 gears, Longtube headers w\ full mandrel bent 3 inch Ypipe, I expect to hit 11.4`s at 118+.
What people fail to understand is that you can`t say X hp equals X mph. To many other factors.
Example two cars 400rwhp, equal in all respects weight, gearing ect... one being an auto, one being a 6spd. Do you naysayers honestly think they will trap the same mph?.....Not!
Class dismissed.........
