Thanks again guys.

Track: Edgewater Drag Strip, NHRA

Race weight = 3800ish (guessing), not a lightweight by any means. Nothing has been removed (not even jack/spare), plus 10 inch sub, and amp, plus 12 bolt, plus me etc etc.

DJ: Your car has 11s in it too. Just need to do a little more tweaking. I think you would have been VERY close if not there if your valve springs hadnt been getting tired.

Evan...heads are in the works, soon my man, soon.

 

jared by no means has a large cam... congrats on the new times bout time its outta the 12's.... by my plans, i should be breathing down your neck again by next summer via suspension. not touching the engine again for a while.......

 

While i wish you all the luck in the world tig, but you need to get a rear in that thing first. That 10 bolt is going to go kaboooooom and 3.42s are a PITA to launch hard on. Been there, tried that

Anyways, where you been hiding??? Havent talked to you in awhile. Keep in touch bro.

 

been launching my 120k mile 10 bolt since BG at 6k rpm.. been to the track almost every weekend since then except for the last 3 weekends or so. no whines, no clunks, no problems at all.. even tore it apart at school, and no abnormal signs of wear... now my u-joints.. thats another story.....

 

Ya i've whacked my 1350 U joint conversion pretty good on the 12 bolt. Mines shot too.

You are fine for now with the 10 bolt, but once you hook it hard is when you will start having the issues. Suspension only means more stress on the axles and gears.

Let me know if you will be in town the next few weeks and racing, ill head to the track with you guys.

 

I've personally seen a stock 10 bolt go 10s at the north vs south shootout in bowling green

All the ones I know that broke had a different gear in em. From my personal experience. . . except for mine, which was stock on street tires on the street, but thats a different story

 

ahh i figured a 1.85 60' on ET's at a 6k clutch drop was a fairly decent job for the 10 bolt, especially when the data log said it dropped straight to 2500 rpm i'd say thats a bit of a stress.. now if i had 4.10s SNAP. can't go racing till i get enough money to pay for edgewaters charge.

 

Autos dont count cracker. And for you, ill leave it up to tigger to beat your heads and cam time

 

hey no need to be a racist jared. wanna let me borrow your tire combo, and pay my way into the track so i can try though? my car loved the mph it made on those ET Streets of the same size.

 

lol. I would but everything i ran wasnt even mine. They were all kevins from GCFBA.

 

stock or ported TB?

 

TB is 52mm, stock throttle body, bored over by halbert performance (NOMAD on board)



Figured you might want to see all the timeslips:

mph: 114.56

2nd Run:
60: 1.691
1/8th: 7.758
mph : 86.45
1/4: 12.25
mph: 111.74 (missed fricken 4th gear, i was so pissed, that was an 11 i thought at the time)

3rd Run:
60: 1.687 (nothing wrong here
1/8th: 7.690
mph : 90.09
1/4: 11.98

Then i had to go to work

Sorry to bring this back from the dead but Altjar:
Sorry if I missed something but what is done to your engine? I saw what you've done to the valvetrain and the GM847 cam, ported TB, headers, CAI. Is that it? Sweet man congrats again!

read his website.....hes got just about everything you can possibly do to the car besides heads or stroker.

 

I'm hopin' to hit 11's w/ my car next summer after some suspension mods - car's been down on and off all of '03. How does the 847 cam compare to the Hot Cam? Lift, duration, etc? Would anyone go with it over a cc306?
