Actually no. He's posted 13.9 at 102 for the RR. I guess he's gone 13.3, but have not seen an mph. Probably out there some where.
Anyone running mid to high 12s, what are your 60 foot times?

Ok! The high 13s (13.7-8-9) was before the FBO ignition, Toyo Proxes TQ drag radials and 17" aluminum Rallye wheels, and the Promax modded Holley 2bbl carbs.
Also before I switched to power shifting aka the "no lift shift".
After all of that, when I don't blow up the tires off the line, which (for now) means rolling out a few feet and standing on the gas, I've been running consistent 13.3s
I ran my buddy's SRT Jeep and beat him
3-0, all 13.3X runs, and 105 to 106 mph.

That is close. Now that the GTO has the modded Tripower Rochester carbs, line lock, and me power shifting, I ran 13.5s, with room for improvement via me driving better.
Thanks a lot for the interest guys!!
Both cars are about to be brought up a notch. I have so much confidence in the HitMaster, I bought a hydraulic throwout bearing for the Goat too, that can go in w/the TKO600, and all I have to do is get a HitMaster for her car.

From that thread:
I didn't post mph, but 106 is the new neighborhood it lives in.

completely different cars but my 340/727/3500stall was ripping off 13.3's@101=303fwhp
same car with 4200 stall/more hp..12.4's@108=368fwhp...3560lbs.
those ET's/mph are for a car with a "decent" hook, nothing out of this world 60's.
Something else that hasn't been addressed here. The drivers ability to shift a 4 speed. Definitely a fair amount of ET there. I've watched many videos of 4 speed cars being raced. The conclusion is that most drivers were not as gifted as Ronnie Sox. I can tell you having watched different drivers run our Challenger (yes, I've let more than a few run it) that we are looking at over .5 in ET compared to my ET's. If you wait to pull the shifter until you push the clutch its to late already. When racing I pull on the shifter from the time I the clutch out. When the clutch is touched the pressure on the shifter will cause it to come out of gear. By that time the clutch is no longer needed. Clutch is on its way back up. Full throttle the entire time.

Thanks Doug.
I think I'm doing a pretty good job shifting. "Shifting without lifting" off the gas is something my vacuum outboard carbs really seem to like, and the 440 does too.
I'd say that was worth 4/10ths of the 6/10ths improvement in ET.
Still room for improvement, and that is yet another reason why I like rowing my own gears!
