696pack, do you ever come to Speedworld Dragstrip?
I used to own a house in Surprise and used to go out on occassion.
I took my 66 Hemi car there a few years ago to run it but at the time the trans was screwed up and it would not go into 2nd gear under any kind of load. After running it several times trying to get it into 2nd I tried a shift with no left pull pressure on the shift to see if it would help and ended up shifting from 1st to 4th. I ran the 1/4 out and still ran a 14 flat at 105 mph which i thought was pretty impressive under the circumstances. That was on drag radials not slicks and i did not have a very good 60 foot time either.
Since then i have had the trans fixed and now when your power shift from 1st to 2nd the glove box lid flies opened as the car hooks very well. I think from the feel of it, it should run low 11s or high 10s on slicks.
I would take it back to see what it runs but I have it for sale and don't want to take any chances with the car.
