I'm with you. Plus it's only 3100 lbs, at Atco in November. I bet the DA this weekend will be negative 1000.Its a proven car, good suspension, trans, converter, roller cam, decent heads, intake & carb. Whats not to like. Lack of compression, subpar ring seal? I stick by my prediction.
Doug
No compression. Stock cast bottom end. I know c12 is going to slow it down, that's why I mentioned it.You're saying you put some compression in the moder? If not, the 12 will probably not make it run any faster.Let's see, low compression with C12.....a bit of a cam and a 'head job'........mid 12's
Nope.I'm thinking dvw might know a bit more of the combo than the rest of us?![]()
31 inch tire.Wait, will that motor pull to 6300 rpm???
What's you're tire diameter?
That would shock me.10.90's I think it will surprise you
31 inch tire.
I put a 6300 chip in rev limiter.
6000 chip in shift light.
AgreedAlright. I'll stick with my guess. That tire will probably actually hurt et and mph with this motor.
I dunno....stuck a 29" tire on a 318 Demon because of a lot of gear. It had a stock converter which killed the 60' but the thing turned on at 3000 rpm and ran hard to 6200 with a stock bottom end and pocket ported 360 heads. A couple of other small goodies and it ran a 13.50 so maybe Bob's car will go what dvw says. The 'thang' ran 102 mph.....Alright. I'll stick with my guess. That tire will probably actually hurt et and mph with this motor.
So I'll put you down for 11.53 -12.19?best wild *** guess
high 11's to low 12's with a smog pump bottom end
good air & good track/hook 11.69 - 12.19 marginal air & cold track
wallaceracing.com
says 3100#'s @ 400hp 11.53 @ 117
I think that's wishful thinking, low compression with no power adder
my low end prediction is 11.69 making 383.54hp
11.80 @ 3100#'s is 372.91hp, good middle of the road prediction Doug
my more likely prediction of 12.19 making 338.25
a 10.90 @ 3100#'s is 473.12hp, that's way optimistic
good luck & have fun dial it in & go rounds
Just win baby
So I'll put you down for 11.53 -12.19?
Your odds seem a bit more favorable than others...
You sure it wasn't blood?I found a puddle of trans fluid under the car when I got home from work today.View attachment 862506 View attachment 862507
