10.29@127.61. .Stock bottom end LT1
I went to Island Dragway yesterday...what a BEAUTIFUL day...
I only got 2 shakedown runs in (track was packed).
Run 1:
I took this run REAL conservative...short shifted..and had a little brain fart on the 1st to 2nd shift (shifted from 1st to 2nd..back to 1st..then to 2nd... I felt like an a$$...how hard can it be to shift a 2 speed )
60':1.475
330:4.350
1/8:6.773
mph:103.04
1000:8.822
1/4:10.569
mph:122.62
I waited @ an hour before I attempted my 2nd pass.
Run 2: Still pretty conservative...short shifted.. dropped the window switch to 6600 & ran outta juice at the end of the run on 900#
60':1.403
330:4.179
1/8:6.506
mph:109.17
1000:8.546
1/4:10.291
mph:127.61
The 2nd run felt real strong.... The car definitely has some 9second passes in it..
I have to give some major THANKS to MADMAN (brian) for his help in figuring out my ignition issues.... you were right...I changed the opti, gapped the new plugs at 32, and threw in an MSD 6AL...and VIOLA... no more break-up above 5800

The major mods so far are...
**Heads (stage III..ECS)
**BIG cam (Lunati 242/252 @.050 -.560/.576 lift on a 110ls/108center)
**strange 12 bolt
**TNT 150 shot (single stage-wet)
**K-member and suspension mods.
**Slicks (e/t drags..28x10.5Wx15)&skinnies
**Powerglide (4800-5200 stall+transbrake)
**A bunch of weight reduction
Thats about it for the MAJOR mods...but there are a crap load of smaller ones (ie..longtubes, MSD..you get the idea)

Sick times with the stock shortblock. What is the raceweight of the car? What are the flow #'s on those heads. 9's on a stock shortblock? Could be.

We never had the heads bench flowed.. (in hind sight I guess it would have been a good idea).
We haven't had the beast on a scale in a while... but we estimate 3000# (e-towns got the only scale in the area..and I'm not a big e-town fan)
I'm not sure what it runs N/A yet... I'll be runnin' N/A in super E/T on saturday... I'll post the results.

Well I was all set to run Super on Saturday.....
I went to the Island website Friday night......and low and behold... they are closed all weekend...( schedule shows them open).....
How dare they take off for a holiday.... I've got some 9s I NEED to run.... what could they possibly be thinking
The only place I could run was the Bill Mitchell @ Atco on Sunday... If I had the car a little more dialed in, I would have went... But I didn't want to drive 4 hours each way and pay $125 to have my a$$ kicked by the big dogs ($5000 race tends to bring out the big dogs).
Hopefully next weekend will bring good weather and I'll be able to post some N/A times as well as my 1st 9second slip.
