Went to NPR on Friday night. The air was good(-800ft) but the track was cold. My 60fts were off .05 but i did manage a new best 11.273 at 118.90. My raceweight was 3325. Our track will be closed till Jan 4. I am hopeful that with tuning that i can run low 20's or teens. Frank95z

 

fawking awesome.
any video?

 

Sweet!!

 

Thanks simple. No I went to the track alone. there were a couple of guys there that post on LS1tech but i don't know if they were videoing. I made 5 runs and the worse was 11.33. The car was spinning but consistantly. Frank95z

 

Awesome times Frank. It looks like you finally retired that baby cam.
For a refresher, what was your best time with the 104227?

 

you should look into an in car mounted video camera (roll bar mount). it'll only add about ~8lbs too the vehicle

again, congrats on the times and hard work too get there

 

Are those truely untouched stock heads? Great times,regardless.

 

Time for a little weight reduction so you can put that thing in the 10s. Great job.

 

true dual my best time with the 227 is 11.40 116.59 but that was with the car about 100#s lighter and -1800 air. 97bow tie I believe with tuning,3100#s and good weather 10's are possible joess I had my headers off to be recoated and decided to remove the heads last year(to look them over and change springs). I had a stock valve job on them,changed valve seals,changed springs,no porting, no tricks,no milling.Total cost $90 and springs. I had them flowed at thunder racing and they didn't even flow average. They flowed 195cfm. I put them back on because at the time thats all that i had. Now when I put on some ported heads I'll be glad to offer these historic heads for sale. If there is any interest in these heads e-mail me Frank95z

 

Nice times Frank..What gear are ya runnin'?? Usual 60' times?

 

Awesome times!!! Seems as though we have another Joe O. cammed car that hauls...how big is the cam? Mine is only a 22X/23X but I've been thinkin about going a little bigger....And we are putting the Kooks stepped in place of my shorties to try for 11.20s looking stock...Again, good times, congrats..

those are very great times!! i am working the bugs outta mine. but i got a joe overton cam and tune in mine, looking for to seeing what it is gonna run. but again nice times

 

Flying Z I run 3.73 gears/27x11.5x15 QTPs/and a Vig3200. My usual 60fts are low 1.50's and in good weather high 1.40's. ABA383 Joe and I really planned this cam with ported heads in mine. I told Joe some of my thoughts on cams and he shared some of his. Thats whats so cool about a custom grind. Mine is larger than yours. Now with that said i believe that if someone would call Joe and asked for a cam just like mine(Lets call it a Joe O /Frank B cam) ,install it right,and tune it like mine they should be able to outrun most of the off shelf cams. One other note I run stock injectors also Frank95z

 

Yeah Frank you are movin'...I talked to Joe about what I wanted for a good street/strip cam. I wanted to stay somewhat small because I drive this thing everywhere. Plus I was coming from an LPE 211/219 cam so anything would be "bigger"...Anyway, this winter I'm going to the stepped Kooks in place of my LPE shorties with the ultimate goal of going 10.90s with a stock looking car (16x8 wheels all around..etc..). I think I'll get 1-2 tenths on the headers and a re tune from PCMforless, but it looks as though a little bit bigger cam is in order for the 10s. Everyone's telling me to do the Bogarts/slicks combo with the headers and it'll probably be close, but I'm hard headed and like the sleeper look...

Have you talked to Joe recently? I posted on his forum and been trying to call him with no luck...Hope everything's ok....Again, congrats with your car...

ABA383 I haven't had any luck getting in touch with joe in the last couple of weeks. I suppose his transport company is busy at this time of the year. I did reach his voice mail a couple of times. Frank95z
