Got down to 11.87 on Friday at PRP's Chrysler Classic, in bad air. Then four of us hopped in and drove home.

This is a great thread BUT,this is the internet and times sure seem real fast-the old saying about talk being CHEAP.
Superstock racer-very nice superbee,but 11.96 purestock come on,?????
Just what kind of HP does that 440 make to run 11s on street tires??

 

[lazermule]

69 Roadrunner 440, 906 iron heads, BG 775 Golden Claw carb, 727, 92 octane car, has run a best of 10.90 and runs 11.00's all day. Just upgraded to a Dana 60 and a trans brake so we'll see how that affects it this Saturday at the track. Going to try EFI and some nitrous next...

 

[ykf7b0]

It's really beautiful! Keep us posted!

 

[lazermule]

Thanks, I certainly will. Hopefully I'll get some good pictures at the track Saturday. I am just hoping it runs the numbers it did before the Dana 60 upgrade. All the local experts say they always run quicker and faster with the Dana over the 8 3/4. With the trans brake the 8 3/4 wasn't an option as I broke 2 of them before the trans brake was installed...Hmmm, if I had only went with the Dana in the first place...

I've got all kinds of timeslips laying in front of me here and a video if I can get it off my buddy.

Now we need to hear the rest of that cool Runner's build. We know it has more then a 906 headed 440 to run 10.90's. :grin: I would love to hear how you did it. :yes: Ron

Under the hood it looks like headers and a 4 barrel...It is light, 3390# with me in it(glass bumpers and aluminum brackets saved huge weight, deleted the HVAC and wipers as it's a nice day only car, and removed a bunch of undercoating), lots of porting and big valves (310+ cfm on the intake), a very special custom solid cam grind, full roller bearing 727, stock wheel wells and 30x10.5 Hoosier radials (awesome tire!), engine made 541 hp at 6250 on 92 octane, 10.8:1 comp, M1 intake, still had 1.5" hg manifold vac at peak hp on the dyno so I switched to a dominator carb and lost hp which would lead me to believe that the engine is out running the intake manifold. There is more in it, the cam isn't too radical (.590/.609), could add compression and go to race fuel, could upgrade intake. Knowing that the intake was a bit limiting, I built a sheet metal pan to seal up to the 6 pack hood scoop for some high end ram air and it got me an easy .20 on the ET. When I go to the EFI system, I may upgrade the intake as well..I'd like to pull .30 more out of the ET and make it a solid mid to high 10 second car. The EFI will also make it much more street drivable although it's not bad as it is.

I do get a lot of comments at the track as folks can't believe how quick it is judging the book by its cover so to speak. It breezes right through tech as I think they look at it like it's a 12 sec car with lots of safety equipment. Fine with me....

Hey Lazermule where do run at,-BIR?,those times are indeed pretty fast!!!

I run at Rock Falls and BIR. I live 2 hrs from either one. Both real nice tracks, Rock Falls is a little faster track, but both nice. The car has never run a 10.90 at BIR, I believe an 11.20 was the best there..must be uphill...LOL

familar with both tracks,elevation at BIR AS YOU probably konw is the problem for slower times there,

Yes, I'm in the N. Metro up by Forest Lake. Just happy to have a couple of tracks relatively close by. We almost had a 3rd track up by Pine City, but the locals didn't want it. The investor then purchased BIR and has done some real nice things with it and appears to cater to a whole mix of auto enthusiasts.

If you have been around racing for any length of time you will know that "its not cheating unless you get caught."

Just blueprinting the engine to stock class specs makes a HUGH difference from the way they actually came from the factory.

There are a lot of tricks to making cars run for a specific class. The pure stock class is a lot tougher with its limitations but the biggest problems when running on stock tires is learning how to soft launch for the best E.T.

Thats a very nice setup. And it runs razor sharp ! :yes: Thanks for filling us in on the cars info. And it runs as sharp as it looks. Ron
