New Bests Motor and N2O
Today was great lots of fun and I didn't break anything. I ran a 7.93 on motor and 7.28 with a 125 shot. I tried to get a video but the camera person didn't film.

That was 1/8th mile times correct? Not bad, what was the MPH?

Yeah 1/8th the 7.93 was at 84 or 86 I can't remember without looking for the slip but the Nitrous pass was 89 with 1.71 and 1.49 60 ft times. I was spinning terrible going into second gear on the juice, when I hit 2nd it started to squat but just turned sideways. I will add this is with completely stock suspension - front sway bar and a 7.5 rear.

Re: New Bests Motor and N2O
Yeah I'm real pleased especially for what it is and the money I've invested. No I don't have any hopefully next time I go I'll have some footage. It hooked pretty good out of the hole but the car in front of me had leaked coolant and they did clean it up real well but when I hit second then it kicked sideways and then fishtailed for about 50-75 feet, so i think that I could probably pull off a lower et like 7.0s-7.10s but I have a few other things to change before then, well see

Re: New Bests Motor and N2O
One way to find out , i cannot wait to get my stroker fixed, but i am doing a SBC swap in my 95 to rid myself of the junk LT1. Then it is back to the 89.

Re: New Bests Motor and N2O
For the 95? I am using a HEI, but of course i am doing plenty of cutting. A HEI fits ok when you do all the needed "trimming".

Re: New Bests Motor and N2O
Ok, I'd kind of like to find a 10.5 4th gen car and didn't know what all there was to do
