Dan,
Look at it this way. It no fun eating ice cream if your holding your
*** in the other hand

Ahh, good point! I guess this is a heads-up kind of race, no bracket, then!

Otherwise the ol' WB edition Venture minivan would waxx the competition with it's solid 16.950 second E/T's

Oh, and I can officially say that the Y-pipe is done today. I will be boxing it up and sending it to JET HOT for coating, which will run about $148 including shipping.

Grand total for making my own Y-pipe is then about $280.

 

sweet its on! and heads up race would include the reaction time. then its a race to the finish line first. we could just race for ET's, then use the reaction time to decide who buys me ice cream.

 

Ha ha! We're going to hand you your cone in the staging lanes then watch you eat it in the burnout box---

 

let me know when you guys go.. this could get interesting

 

Yeah, count me in. I want to be there to congratulate Dan when he wins.

 

Chris,
have you tried the Autolite 103R's?
If not check em out.

 

whats that? sp. plugs?

 

ya iuse them in mine (Autolite 103's) but i usually change tem fairly often, like every other oil change, just to be safe and i usually throw a fresh set in after running @ the track all day.

 

Yep,
Last we talked I beleive our short blocks are pretty identical.
I spent last summer looking for the perfect plug for a 12 to 1
set up.
NGK 7 too cold
NGK 6 better
Autolite 103R (cut back strap) worked very well and I wouldn't hesitate
to decrease the gap and run a 100 shot on them.
I picked up a set of 104's I'll try out when weather permits.

 

103s are gret for killing knock on the 3800s, switched from 104s, FWIW...

 

well there's a big difference. mine has 10.8 compression. think I got stock plugs in mine. dont remember. maybe NGK TR55. hmmm?

what pistons did you go with? mine are -16cc. you must have gotten the -6 dish? wishing now that I would have milled the heads and gotten it around 11.25.

 

-5
The 55's are probably working well for you?
Consider the 103's over the 6's when you spray.

 

School me here, whats a 3800 run compression/times?
My limited experience tells me that would be too cold a plug
for you. But my brain says get more info before making such
a statement.
Any mods?

 

That was me, I was looking for a Dairy Queen.
