10.847 @ 126.08 staight off the trailer N/A. 60' was 1.598, all I can say is this is a dog with the tight converter. This was runnning pig rich never messed with the timing dropped 5 jet sizes in both sides of the carb and went 127.37 next pass with aworse 60' (1.895).

Tried hitting it with a 100shot lifted before the 1/8 and went 10.97 @ 100.32mph. Damn hood pin came out and one side of the hood lifted. That could have been worse.

I think after the timing is dialed in and I get the suspension to work it will go mid 10's on the motor. This is with a converter that only goes to 3500 wide open on the brake, glide and 3.89 gears(nitrous combo).

Next time out I'm going to work on tuning the N/a combo a little and see what I can get out of it. I think I'm going to have to hit it with 250 just to get it moving.

Sweet passes!

You wanna make me up one of those nice cold air kits? I saw it on yellowbullet and I erally like it??!!

 

I almost need your car just in case the motor is sitting a little different. I used motor plates and moved it around a little for the headers. It's not that hard to make.

 

I'm just finishing up mine now, but I like a few things about yours, I guess version 1.2 will have this.

 

nice passes. so you car doesn't have an LT1 any longer?

 

LT1 block with a carb, crank trigger and distributer.

 

that thing is really moving.

good job.

Lloyd

 

so the only thing LT1 about it is the reverse cooling? just trying to understand

 

Whats wrong with that? I have nothing agaist the opti or fuel injection but this motor will be going to 8000rpm's when I feel good with the tune. I was shifting at 7500 last night. Are you willing to do that with the stock ecm? After spending what I spent this year the carb was a cheaper way to go.

 

I don't think he's challenging you.... no need to over-react. He just wants to know more about the car/engine, as we all do. You haven't provided much.

 

Says you went 1.35 60ft with the 100hit...That's getting out of the hole for sure! I have a similar combo..396/glide/heavy/nitrous...It'll scream when you get it dialed in, have fun!

 

The short block was built by LME. They say it will take up to a 400shot. The heads I picked up on here for $500. Had a couple seats and valves replaced and they receaved a set of manley 221442-16 springs. The cam was spec by cam motions and Brian at LME which was intended for nitrous use. I'm running 1 7/8 primary headers, a Brodix hvh intake with a 1050 dominator.

If you want to know anything else just let me know.

 

Awesome run. You def have a low to mid 10 Na.

What headers do you have and where did you get them? Also I see they are a stahl flange. What did you have to do to have your heads adapted for a stahl flange? BTw, what heads are you running?
I am building a similar 383 right now and trying to decide if the hooker 1 3/4's are enough or if I should step up to the 1 7/8's.

Thanks for any info!

 

There was some info in the sig so I didn't retype it. But the heads are brodix -10's. Their converted sbc heads. I think this winter I may replace them with a set of Brodix track 1 heads. But anyways the heads have the brodix spreadport exhasust flange. Hedman Hedders has the headers listed in their race or hustler header catolog. I had to have the number 1 tube redone because I coundn't get the plug in that cylinder and I have to run autolite plugs because they are shorter then the NGK's from the seat to the wire terminal end. I was going to have some custom 2" headers made for the car but these were cheaper

My exhaust ports measure 1 7/8 across the opening so this was the smallest ones I would consider. What type of power are you looking to make?

 

Thanks for the reply/info!

The 383 I am building is 11.8-1 comp, diamond nitrous pistons, Lunati pro mod rods, Eagle forged crank, 4 bolt splayed caps, solid roller Joe O grind 258 268 .635 lift with 1.6's 106lsa, endura x lifters, Eric Bradby ported AFR 220 heads (flow well over 300cfm), T&D shaft mount rockers, Accel single plane intake, with a 1200cfm tb (carb style). I hope to make 600 N/A at the crank and ~850-900 crank on a 250 hit. My goals are to go at least 1 sec faster than my previous combo N/A and on the bottle.

thanks again,

Matt
