Post your 10 second combo's

[ozymaxwedge]

with the power that cuda` seems to makes
that's if you can get it hooked up
in the 1st 60'-330' it'd probably be knocking on the 10.0 {9.99 or better} barrier

Im going to the track with my son on Wednesday night to watch him race his 440 Valiant, Im going to try and sweet talk the officials into letting me out there one more time :love6: in the cuda, 9.99 would be nice.

 

[Budnicks]

yeah that would be nice, my old street/strip last 68 RR went
9.77 @ 135 best N/A on the 479ci/6bbl, 3520#

your car is easily/possibly within the realm of the mid to higher nines/9's in the 130 MPH range

BUT
good luck if the tech guys know your car, they are usually hog tied,
mainly because of liability insurance reasons, if something would have happened

I had usually ran mine on Sat. test & tunes, got away with it for a while in the 10's
as soon as it started dipping well into the 9's & I knew all the track guys too,
then me pushing it mid 8's, 8.58 @ 156 with a 300 shot of N20 w-single Dominator
they put an end to me running below 9.99 with just a 4pt rollbar, I could run 10.0-slower
I have a NHRA Comp License
{that could be another issue for you under 10.0},
so that wasn't an issue for me
(mine was a 6pt actually, but not by NHRA specs thou)
& no "real" NHRA sfi cert. cage or sticker, with a top hoop, dash bar, rear bars down thru the trunk or real door bars, much higher up...

it was my street car, I didn't want to put a full cage, that's a dead giveaway...

good luck
Happy Moparing sounds like your Cuda' is impressive runner

 

[ozymaxwedge]

Here is the 440 VG Valiant of my sons, I ran it on full street rubber last Wednesday to 11.26 @ 122.95, this Wednesday it's on some 26x9 Hoosiers so expecting a 10 with the young gun driving.

Yea 122 mph should get you in the 10's with good hook. Good luck , Ron

 

[ozymaxwedge]

Hi Ron, what is your 63's 60' times ? 1.6's ?

 

[383man]

Hi Ron, what is your 63's 60' times ? 1.6's ?

My best 60 ft is a 1.50. I average about a 1.52. What does the car weigh ? Ron

Will put it on the scales tonight as we are racing it Ron but I would guess 3500lb, it is an A body. Will post the time slips tomorrow.

Has a 3500 converter, think it would be better with a 4000+

 

[Tex013]

go big - 5000 . you won't look back Al :headbang: . You know you want to

Well I use a Dynamic street/strip 9.5 converter that flashes about 4200 and it works very nice driving on the street and at the track. But it all depends on the combo if it will like more stall. It may go faster with more stall but if you have it together I would run it and see how the conveter in it works for you. Ron

Ran my Barracuda on Sunday, getting off the pedal at half track as I was limited to 12.00 due to no cage or harness but the plan was to go out the back door when I was ready and go home First card is 11 half track and the second is the one that was going to be it but I stuffed it and left in second gear, as you can see from the half track et it would be .4 better than the 10.60. Anyway I still got told to piss off so did not get another chance.



The car, 71 Barracuda 528, Indy top, roller cam and dominator carb.

Well it's ON !! they have allowed me to show up on a Wednesday Night so it's is happening this Wednesday. We are coming into our winter and it is starting to get cold, altitude air density was at +1400' on these time cards but it will be around -500' this week. We have added bigger jets and the plan is a few half tracks and then all the way without any stuff ups . Im not going to say NINE yet.

 

[Badbelvedere]

Don't have any pics up here yet but I have a 67 belvedere 4256 lbs with me in the car.

440 with the 499 stroker
1250 holly ultra hp carb
hoosier 29.5X10.5
strange s60 with the lpw girdle
harland sharp rockers
super stock leaf springs no clamps out of the box
636 luniati solid roller cam
rpm heads 84cc dome diamond pistons
this is the fastest I have ever been took the car out last night still have some learning to do with shifting.
fastest time was 6.34 with a 1.38 60ft in the eighth

 

[Mike Gaines]

wow...that is very fast for your 4256lb car...good job. what is your rear end gearing, stall speed and compression ratio ?

 

[Badbelvedere]

The rear end gear is a 456, the compression should be around 13.1 maybe a little under. torque converter is a turbo action 4200 flash 5200-5800 stall

Well i am following this thread closely i will be building a stroker motor soon i hope... But for now this is my combo and i have a fibergalss hood & scoop & fiberglass Bumpers front & rear i have also taken weight out of the car like Aluminum parts on the engine and there is no wiper motor or heater box anymore no back seat at all car has a fuel cell...

My motor is a 440 bored .040 over keith black pistons stock crank & stock rods i opened up oiling for better flow ARP bolts used on all the major areas the entire rotating assembly was balanced i am running a Mopar 312/590 cam & lifters a holley 950 carb & M-1 Intake port matched to my Indy Sr Heads that have mild port work done they flow 334.5 @ 700 MSD Dist & Box headers are TTI Step Headers 2" into 2 1/8 Tubes into 3 1/2 collectors into Dynomax Super Turbos.
Trans is a very well built 727 with racing clutches & Bands aftermarket 727 BILLET REAR SERVO KIT & BILLET ALUMINUM ACCUMULATORS with a CRT-22 Reverse Manual valves body & deep pan stall is a 4500 rearend is a 8 3/4 with 3:91 gears SS Springs & Long Drag shocks & a Pinion Snubber.

I do have a set of 4:30 Gears i want to change out.

Tires and rims are Center lines up front on radials tires 165/80/15 Rear tires & rims are steelies 15x7 i am running Mickey Thompson Drag Radials 275/60/15
I hope i can reach what you all have done & be Consistent..

 

[Badbelvedere]

Let me say that is a sexy 66 man I love these belvederes, Mine is a 67. You should be in the tens all day man honestly with those heads flowing like they are it has alot more potential. My heads only flow 301 at .600" and they stay the same up to .800" I am sure you are like every one else that has a budget because it is so expensive. But that combo with a 1150 dominator should run its but off man not saying the 950 wont either though. You should def be in the tens but the question is how far? lol Good luck man itll be worth it in the end

Have you raced your car with that 440 as that sounds like a pretty healthy 440 you have ? My EZ heads flowed 329 @ .600 as they have a little work done to them. But your heads flow pretty good. It reminds me some of my old 440 as I had KB pistons in it with a stock bottom end and it was .030 over so it was 446 cubes. I used the MP .557 cam and 906 heads I ported but it hit a best of 11.49 with it. Your 440 sounds like it should be a strong runner. I am using 4.30's in my 63 but I use a 30" tall tire which really gives them the effect more like 3.91's or 4.10's with 28" tires. I dont remember how tall the 275/60-15" tires are you are running. But I was curious if you have raced your fine Mopar with that strong sounding 440 ? Ron

 

[stuka1166]

thanks Mike it came out pretty good. Wrapped it in flat black... Been working on this since fall of last year. Just finished it last week. Had a girl wrap it in Roseville Ca. It took her a couple of days in the mean time I painted out the front end and the grill and the glass bumpers. I really think its way more aero now. and I can see better than with that big scoop. ( not that it helps me cut a better light)

What does wrapping roughly cost...I also have a 68' and may consider that as well.

Hey ron not yet sir i am this year to see where i am at and thanks ...

Good luck when you do run it as it may surprise you and be a very fast car. Ron

 

[67coronetman]

The 275/60/15 are 28.1 Inches tall so with a set of 3:91 gears or a set of 4:30 gears what would be the final gears ratio..

Good luck when you do run it as it may surprise you and be a very fast car. Ron
