Re: Who's in East Texas (Tyler region)?

Mine is more of a street/strip car. I go up to rocket fizz in Tyler and hangout with those guys on Friday/Saturday nights from time to time, but that's about it.

Re: S10 V8 conversion..

Its stock except for exhaust. It runs good for what it is... Probably low 14s. One thing I will say about a V8 S10 though- it will be a tire spinning sonofagun with even decent power if the...

Re: Raced a coyote...

Thanks for the input. Thought about going big block and I may still at some point, but I'm gonna get everything I possibly can out of my old school small block before I go down that road.

Re: S10 V8 conversion..

Yeah I actually have one right now. Its a 91 with a 5.7 vortec in it. It won't melt your face off or anything and it can't beat my 85 but it runs good. Its a fun little truck

By Chris I assume you are meaning Chris Speier(sp)? I was already looking at his heads, so we're definitely on the same page. I'm definitely not gonna skimp on the heads. I agree on the Coyote...

Re: Raced a coyote...

11:1 is rounded up. The math comes out to 10.72 with the amount the pistons are down in the hole, head gasket thickness, combustion chamber volume, etc. I want to do a cam swap mainly to get a roller...

Re: Raced a coyote...

You guys are right. I let it hang too much and ran it too high in each gear before shifting. Idk why... Just adrenaline and trying to do something different to possibly affect the outcome. But yes I...

Yeah. You guys have helped me figure out alot in this thread. It was a square peg- round hole type situation. I thought my car had enough juice to beat him at a race I knew was not optimal going in....

Re: Raced a coyote...

Called my buddy that runs the trans shop, had him dig it out. You guys were right... It was 117, not 107. I'm really sorry for putting out incorrect information- I would have sworn it was lower than...

Re: Raced a coyote...

I said 120 was slightly above where I trapped, just to clarify. But screw it I'm going to the Trans shop and digging the timeslip out

Re: Raced a coyote...

Re: Raced a coyote...

Wow... Impressive car man. And to be honest, I was just going from memory on the mph. The car is in the transmission shop and the slip is in the console... May have been 108, 109, but definitely was...

Re: Raced a coyote...

Tim, the trap speed was 107. It was kind of a dog on the big end. Don't remember what my rpms were passing thru the traps.

Challenger R/T = mid/low 14s. Not too surprised at the outcome. Don't try that with an SRT8 and expect to come out on top though...

Re: Raced a coyote...

No offense taken at all to anything you guys have said.

I hear you guys on the Flowmasters... I may look into some Magnaflows or Borla race mufflers or a cut out to bypass the 'problem' entirely....

Re: Raced a coyote...

Ok so the 4 speed overdrive option is out then. Gutting the car to shed 2-300 pounds is definitely an option as is the solid roller cam, but I'm not ditching the Slowmasters Lol. I'm married to those...

No traction issues- car hooks really well with the ET Streets and this thing is running SUPER STRONG engine wise. I haven't tried any practice launches from a slow roll... Not a bad idea. May be...

I'm running 1.75" full length headers and 3" 2 chamber 40 series Flowmasters.

Re: Raced a coyote...

Just to clarify, we ran from a 20 roll to 120, which is slightly above what I trap in a quarter mile. No set distance. We ran fender to fender thru my 1st gear, then my fender to his door thru my 2nd...
