Well done Dodge 330! In general if your a regular a tenth or two under they might say something but wont give ya the boot. But if you look like your on the edge all over the place than expect a bit more than a warning. Now you get to upgrade some safety equipment,jacket,belts......

New goal is to get a 10 this year. Even if it's 10.99!

My goal this year is an 8 second time slip,,,,,even if it's an 8.99!
Been changing air bleeds and need to make a test hit.I have a good 3 lane road 1/2 mile from the garage and the weather this week is looking GOOD. Adjusted the idle AFR up to 14 for idle,but need that test hit to see where it is at WOT.

I love the enthusiasm on here.
A stump pulling stroker motor going low 11's and trying for 10's.
And a 9.55 car who's going to get a 8 second time slip.
Do you realize how hard it is to go from 9.55 to high 8's.

Just got my new Koffels-built 588 Hemi. Was thinking about running 70º of total timing in it. Should really fly!!!!

Haha! Now who would do something silly like that?!
Isn't it funny how some people BUY a finished car, start tuning on it and it SLOWS DOWN and is NEVER as fast as it was with the previous owner?! That's gotta hurt!

Actually you can do that. On about 90%.
I know how hard it is to try and get a 9.02 car to go 8.99

So that's quite an accomplishment, in your mind however I'd be more inclined to think that a 10 second time slip would've be something to toot your horn about.
Many years ago my small block 340 Valiant ran 11.08 first time out with a hydraulic MP cam (it was a .533 cam-Purple Shaft) and then a progressed to 10.80. It weighed 3200 lbs with me in it.
So I believe you have some work to do to really do justice to utilize all those cubes.
