me running a badass viper

 

What were your times?

 

That combo has got to have a lot more in it. For those mod's, 14 flat is leaving a lot on the table. What is your 60 foot? mabye the launch is where you're losing the time? I ran a 327 with 76cc heads (like 7.5:1 compression) and massively sunken valve seats, in a heavy 2nd gen, to around the same time, although at 99.5 mph.

 

updated sig. 13.998@100.6mph it was very humid out there probably 95 most of the time. i have a bad exhaust leak and i was not getting any kind of traction on my street tires. my best sixty foot was a 2.10... i didnt get to spray the nitrous like i planned because my nitrous side fuel pressure bottomed out... went to 1 psi. so i played the safe route and didnt spray it.

 

there is no doubt i am loosing alot in the 60 foot. like i said 2.10 60ft. i have lowering springs and i think those are killing my launches plus the track wasnt really "hooking" yesterday. i agree i should be running better with my setup but on street tires with those 60 fts. and weighing 3600 with me in it i am pretty pleased. i havent done much to the carb just changed a couple jets when it was on the dyno i more to pull out of it i think. i am putting 1.52 comp pro magnum roller rockers on it before i go next time that should help a couple tenths. i also am having a very hard time sealing up my edlebrock T.E.S. headers. i mean i have a BAD leak on the driver side, i know that is hurting my horsepower a little. so i think if i can clear up these leaks with the copper gaskets i got and the roller rockers i think it should do close to mid 13-s i also have not taken off the front sway bar and wonderbar so i will do that before i go next time as well.

btw the block is a factory idk how many miles block. so i could be low on compression i still have yet to check that. the heads are pretty much stock. 64 cc stock sized valves and springs these times are even with stock rocker arms. so it is a very mild setup i just have a decent sized carb on it and a very very mild streetable cam. with a couple more tweeks to the carb and those mods i was talking about above i can pull some out of it but i think some is all im going to get. with my weight and suspension(no SFC's factory everything other than LCA relocation brackets) i think im doing good. i will be changing the setup before next year but i think this setup has performed well for my first build.

 

Looking good! Wheres the other half of your passenger side hood louvers??

 

flew off at about 120 on the way to the track... i hate the way those things mount to the hood not very secure.

 

I figured it was something like that! Didn't hit anyone behind ya did it?? My buddy bought a nice 68 camaro and when we were stretching her legs on a back country road all the rear window trim came off. By the time we got turned around to pick it up a semi ran it over, and we never saw another vehicle on that whole road rest of the way home... totally sucked!!

 

lol naw i kinda pulled away from everyone.. no one else got on it behind me. i didnt worry bout going back for it, couldnt do anything with it anyways.

 

i couldn't come up there with you cause i was pullin' a trailer, lol!!!

at any rate, i think your suspension and tire selection are the limiting factor, cause if you ask Rich, the track prep was fine! HAHAHA! i was pulling pretty decent 60's myself. you really should have ran those DR's i had with me. i had a spare driveshaft so you'd have been safe if you tore that up...but i don't have a spare rearend for you really good driving on your part though, squeezing a 13.99 out of it with street tires and as horrible of air as we had yesterday was EXTREMELY impressive.

 

lol you were giving me a run for my money with that old diesel towing 3000 pounds lol. appreciate the compliments. i konw my tires and springs are killing me at the strip i just cant seem to commit to making the car ugly(by jacking up the back and using the too big of tires i have) just to race it. you know ive always been more into the looks rather than speed, ill probably end up getting some v6 springs and cut them to a height i like hopefully that lower spring rate will help me out, i know these stiff intrax arent doing anything for my launch. with those and some nice 26" tires and maybe some drag shocks on the back i could get it to do better thats probably what ill be looking into if i want to continue to race it out there which im sure i will i have the best time out there at the track even though the car isnt "fast" its still exciting as all get out.

btw i never took those spring raisers out, that we put in the week before either, so i know that hurt the launches even more. just keep me updated on when you are going out there, i will go with you if im off.
