new track times!!!!

yep, almost bone stock motor. no cam or heads or headers. ran the time in the sig.
a 13.009 @ 105.9mph on a 1.914 60' time.

i think it runs pretty good for as little as it has done to it.
i think it is prolly one of the fastest bolt on cars w/no headers around. anyway, now it is time to get serious and put in the 9" and the cam.

sorry about that yall..... that was on a 1.896 60' time

the run was as follows...
60'..... 1.896
330.... 5.453
1/8..... 8.411@83.60 mph
1000.... 10.945
1/4....13.009@105.9 mph

i had a backup run of a 13.182@105.2 mph
that was the one with the 1.914 60' time

BTW, all runs were made with the cut-out open and on DR's

weather was in the high 60's
not sure of elevation

i cant wait to see what my car runs with long tubes and a 9"(will have 4.11's and SLICKS)

I wish I could cut 1.9x 60ft times on street tires.

On slicks I have went as low as 1.61 60ft time with stock struts. I have sinced changed to 90/10 struts so I am anxious to see if the 60fts will hit 1.5x on all motor.

Nice times, but whats the point of putting a cam and rr's on your car without headers? They are a huge mod!

i prolly will do headers at the same time. i just havent bought them yet. the 9" is takes priority over the cam though.

i am looking at getting a RAM or a centerforce for budget reasons.
p.s. i wont be using stock hydraulics. the centerforce in my buddies 340 RWHP LT1 grabs like crazy and hasnt shown signs of slipping in over 15,000 miles and 30-50 passes on drag radials.
