Re: chevy crate motor running slow

Updates!

Went to the track tonight, ran a best of 9.043 @82.5mph w/ a 60ft time of 2.106 seconds! A big improvement over what I had been running before. I'm seeing ATLEAST a 2.5 mph increase. this car has never been over 79 mph in an 1/8th of a mile. I am very pleased with the performance of the car considering it's weight. I know i could get higher traps with an extra 500 rpm. I think it will be tough to get much faster w/ my current setup... Second gear seems to end right @ 80 mph... then I hit the wall that is 3rd gear.

No big deal. I am very pleased and feel that the car is finally operating as it should. i was running close with a 2010 370z, LS1/ t56 trans am, audi S4 TTv6 (all stock), and a lightly modded 09 mustang GT all night.

the mustang didnt beat me once

if the tranny can take it i might hook up a 75 shot and call it a day.


Thanks again! hopefully this will help someone else out
