Talking 11.05 at 120.22

First 1/4 with the new stall and rear It managed an 11.05 at 120.22 with a 1.49 60ft. I have a few issues to take care of like oil pulling through the TB and fouling my plugs, but I am quite happy. Need a bigger tire because I was out of rpm before the end. It did manage a 6.98 in the 1/8th The car sure felt strong

Nice times. I can only hope my car will be as fast as yours. But I have a 383 in my car with stock ported heads. What size gear do you have? And what transmission do you have? Good luck getting into the 10s.

Darren is right, the bottom end has about 105k on her I think the rings are on thier way out. My rear susp is a set of 2 year old CE drag shocks,v6 springs, relocation brackets, LCAs, and a Wolff anti roll bar. Just picked up a set of hals for the back, should be an improvement over the CEs

My 1/8 mph was only 97.4. We think this was due to all of the oil that was getting into the intake, alot , from the pcv system. I don't think the stock set up dealt with 7k rpm very well. I think blow by was a factor as well. I have done a couple of things to take care of it and the car feels VERY strong.

Thumbs up Re: 11.05 at 120.22

Awesome #'s!!! On my car I got rid of the PVC and just have the crankcase vented to atmosphere. So far no issues with oil leaks or anything... bone dry all around the engine.
I'm sure you'll be in the 10's VERY SOON!
