Decided to run the TA after work today at local track and wanted to spray it.. Every pass blew tires off first and second, dropping mickeys from 15, 14, 13lbs. Best 60ft was 1.70 due to n2o killing traction, also running out of gear at 1000 mark shifting into 5th on 10.6 pass. Not mad about, no prep, first time racing car since 1.5 years and first time spraying at track with t56. Car has bested 1.5060ft na and hope to beat that.. Should be able to get her down a good bit.. Passes were 10.87 - 1.85 60, 10.66 1.75 60ft, third and last pass 10.81 - 1.70 turning on n20 in third gear, it bogged when I turned button on initially...Not a record breaking day really, It was fun though to get it back out. Also new best for Vega last weekend 9.14 @ 149.. Still dialing in though.

man track must have been horrible for that kind of 60ft's for that fast of a car
gonna be back bottom 10's (maybe crack the 9s) once you can get a little bit of prep

What kid of parts are in the trans? Stock?

Mickey radials or other? The radials are very picky about manual transmission cars. It's takes a lot of suspension and clutch tuning to get them to work well.

.2 in 60' would put you at low 10's out the back door though, that's pretty solid.

They are et streets, as mentioned car has 60ft 1.50 slipping clutch with 10 bolt still, there were only about 30 cars that showed up - they did not prep once at all. Should go low 10 if I ever get to drive again, most race days are for the Vega, so only extra time do I race this car.. As said also it was spinning hard throug second as well, so track was killing it.

What is in the T56? Curious to see if it is running that fast stock.

I would think its a stock T56 or one with mild rebuild with stronger keys. I decided to not do a T56 swap since i didnt want to pay 1800 for viper rebuild to handle the power i planned on running but so far soo good for you

Nice runs, glad to see that car is up and running again

Yea, wondering if it is a LT1 or LS1 trans too.

Lets see some pictures of her. I thought your TA got totaled a while back... Sounds like alot of fun with a 6 speed running that fast!

Thank you guys,
T56 is totally stock lt1 with bronze shift pads and steel 3-4 shift fork.. Car was also 100% street trim 93 octane.. Bullydog, yeah 87 was totalled, this combo has gone 10.07 with auto, so long way to go yet but should be able to get it close.. If I get traction I will throw more to it, but right now about 125 shot is all its getting. Here is a link to a vid I made of, also some other random videos there.

some more, need to get Orr back to the track and maybe I will have a video real video again

good job
congrats so far!!!!

Let me know when you go, i'll go to video it. My car wont be done for alittle while still

Thanks man,
I be running the Vega today, calling for high winds though. maybe tail I hope..
Still trying to work that car down, inc timing from 37 to 40 last weekend and picked up a tenth.. May try some jetting today depending on wind conditions.
Got in to 9.14 leaving at 3000rpm, any more than that its hitting wheeling bars to hard and unloading tires.
You should come over just to keep yourself engaged in racing and motivated to finish that beast..

Man i'd love to today. I'll see what i can do. I am going to First Try to pick up a TH400 and then got a hockey game at 4. I may beable to go between there tho

Rained out Bro! Tell Jeff I said hi.

Good to hear, cuz when i went down to jeff's, rt 22 was shut down where it merges to north 60. Traffic everywhere! They detoured up 79 to rt 60 exit and then backtracked to robinson. Took like 3 hours to get there. I left at like 11:15 and didnt get home till 3:30 and I didnt stay long at jeffs! I told him about your cars so far and he was impressed.

I was gonna try to come out too

134 is good for low ten`s, next time out bud!! Hey get some videos of that vega, it`s gotta be a blast now that your getting comfortable (with brakes and all) :-) good to hear your making progress though!

engine specs? and congrats!

Thanks Greez! I like the new wing, its fits! Looks like an 8 sec ride now
Here is a vid of 9.20 from a few wks ago. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lRjQ6...e=channel_page
also a pic of new tow vehicle.. I am happy with the MPH for sure, it has more still I think, window switch comes on at 4500 and off 6400, gonna lower the 4500 to 4300 and off 6600, and extend limiter to 7000, and if I get a 27" tire should be able to stay in 4th gear. And wait till the prep to get those 60s back down, even if it were hooking in second would improve alot, I figured it would be a problem, when I tested on street in third it was spinning the mickeys alot then, can't wait to thor more to it...
Badgta, its a stock 400 block, cast crank, 11:1, afr 195s, miniram, solid roller.

Let me know the next time you go racing, and i'll come up if i got nothing else goin on. I'll get some vids
