no the 383 is naturally aspirated.. i do have nitrous on the car but havn't used it yet, i'm gonna get it going 6's b4 i spray it to the low 6s

rear gears = 4.10

Joe - i drive it here and there, after work if i feel like hitting up a car show or just going for a drive i'll go out. we should meet up sometime and go out for a cruise

orr89irocz - haha just a simple pumpgas 383 man, car weighs about 3200lbs, good heads, solid roller cam, 10.5:1 compression, good suspension, 28x11.5 Et streets

Its not very hard to do in all honesty, i went for most of the high dollar stuff but you could definately pull it off if you were on a budget, decent heads and a roller cam really make for a mean ride u'll be surprised with what you end up with

just got alittle better, 7.05 @ 96mph.. This weekend i'm gonna up the launch rpm to around 4000 instead of 3000rpm, hoping to hit some 6's in the 1/8th

i have a vid of it doing a burnout and launching but its 19mb, too big to host on the free hosting sites.. i'll try a few more

or you could get VirtualDub program....download it and compress the file yourself assuming its from a digital camera. you just need to capture the file from the camera to the pc... i forget what program i used but i had it on my computer... then save it as a AVI file and upload it to streetfire or whatever. LOL

i dyno'd the motor, never had it on the chassis dyno. Motor made 550hp 500ft.lbs naturally aspirated, i have a 250shot fogger system on it which should up it to around 800hp and 850 ftlbs, havnt hit the nitrous yet but i will as soon as i hit 6's NA

Short vid, just the burnout and launch, my digi cam doesn't zoom in so i can't get the scoreboard at the other end

Vid


couple more pix..

so So close tonight.. 7.02 @ 97.8mph riding the brakes across the finish line so i didn't break out and i still did but hey i went fast, here the vid of the 7.02 and a few pix

Vid2





In that last pic i upped the launch rpm on the two step to 3600rpm, it didn't work so great, i need an antiroll bar bad lol.. When i launch it at 3200 it works pretty well as in the front shot above..

thanks again, its been alot of hard work gettin it together and i'm very pleased. This winter i'm planning on getting some weld wheels on it, make it look hotter and lighter, i'll get the hood painted, and a couple other finishing touchs i've been meaning to do, i honestly expect that it'll be running 6.7-6.8s NA next summer and low low low 6s on the juice. Also gotta get to the 1/4 and spray into the 9s this year

Motor combo: Jan-Cen Motorsports built 383, motor is run on 93 octane, 10.7:1 compression, AFR 210 heads, small solid roller cam, vic jr intake, might demon 750 right out of the box, made 550hp 500ft.lbs.. Wanna fast street car, call up Mike Janis at Jan-Cen and buy a motor
