Post by: Ttype83 on January 15 2006, 04:08:28 PM

Went to the track yesterday with Tony Moore and a couple of his friends(Chuck, Bruce)
I got I little lost on the way took me 4 hours...190 miles one way
The first picture is of tony's car, his friend bruce's to the right and my behind.
The second pic from left to right:Me, Chuck, Bruce and Tony..We stop and had dinner after racing ..This is the first time that I have stopped to eat after racing. Normally I have to work in the morning an have to get back...this was Great....got home faster..only 3 hours from the track

Tony let me make some runs on his slicks
14psi boost 0 timing pull 5-6psi launch
Last run R/T .055 60' 2.080 1/8 9.153 75.7mph 1/4 14.342 @ 94.67
On the heals Rich(B4Black)...maybe I should fix the header leak and weak battery.
I think that I'm at stock SFI times
Oh and I have a time slip that says 15.4 @393mph :rofl;

Well you are faster than my car when I first bought it in the 1/8th... I ran a best of 9.51 @ 73 with a 2.2 '60... on BFG radials...

That was two years ago and havn't been to the track since.

The best 60' that I have gotten on BFG radials is a high 2.1 that that was yesterday, only to have them cut loss after the 60' mark..They suck.
I plan on getting some M/T ET's and a larger rear sway bar.
I wish I had some vids of the launchs, it would help in the setup.

Is the rear suspension relatively stock?

All stock except for a single air bag on the right side.

Wow, you're gonna make the intercooled guys start sweating.  Great times, was the air temperature cool and dry?  Winter should be the best time to race 'em.
 
I would say the 393mph was probably +/- 10 or so.

Oh, next time put that big guy(third from left) in the passenger seat if you need a little traction.

of an empty glass. :atbeer: here's to Chuck.
That will change in Vegas....

I've done 13.4 @ 99.51 on street tires with a 1.9 60ft.

I guess Be4u and I are lucky to live fairly close to a dragstrip.
Those are still good times for a carbed hot air. If I had to
guess. I would say those cars probably did high 16s to low 17s
in stock form.

There are 2 tracks closer, I went there to meet another board member and hang out/race and beat him with his own slicks :rock:
Stock time for a 83 is 16.9..
My new build will be alot faster..but not sure how long it will take to get ready..maybe next year.

Jim, do you need any stock 86-87 parts? I'm looking to lighten my load since my car isnt stock anymore.

I can't use any of your intake stuff unless I convert...that's not going to happen.
About the only thing would be the stock heads

I aint got them. When/if y'all come out I'll make a pile of stuff I dont need and let y'all pick and choose. I would try to sell the stuff but thats just a PITA. I'd rather give it to my friends and people that were there for me. Even JDGN could have some stuff.
