Gave my car a 30th b-day present today. The motor made more than I ever expected. You can see the vacuum pump sucking air on this pull. We had to fix a leak after the pull. I dynoed a 4500 carb and a 4150 for class racing. The 4150 made 15 less hp. That is one heck of a 4150 carb....

I tried to fly Gary in for tuning but he was unavailable today.

 

sounds great !!

 

LMAO

 

Might be buying a new rear end finally... just not sure what. 12 bolt or 9 ", moser or strange or others? decisions decisions.

 

I would like to be satisfied in 2012 with something......anything. I'm always thinking theres a better car out there for me. A better combination, a better body style, better street mannors, faster time slips, better sounding stereo..... Bigger *****, firmer butt, blonder hair. Oops vered off...

2012 = hope to be satisfied with my '87 T-type build which I think will run 11.50's with a grandmom tune and 10.80's on the track tune. so far been driving it everyday and it's a great, quiet street car.

 

9" for sure, I've been very happy with my moser, going on 6 years I've had it so far.

 

I hope it's holding up with those 14.0's your after......

 

Just barely, but it does alright.

 

I just need to use 4th gen brakes thats all my main requirements are. I seen your moser install/setup thread and it looks like alot more work than I imagined. It thought they came ready to bolt in and install??

 

someone sells a full assembled 9", can't recall off the top of my head, but you need the axles off to press on the bearings behind the factory caliper brackets. If using strange brakes, etc then the bracket has an opening for the axles. Takes about 2 hours for me to put one together if I'm taking my time.

 

Get the car off the jackstands, and moving back under its own power. Make at least on TnT low 11's are the immediate goal.

 

12's... If I can figure out why my 700R4 keeps shifting out of 2nd by itself that should be no problem.

 

run in the 11s after 4k stall

 

Wouldn't mind mid 10s on just nuts...

 

Ill be happy if I can get into high 12s motor and high 11s on a 75/100 shot.

 

To make it past 2nd round in IHRA top dragster a end up in top 3 in points. also win more than my brother this year, the year just started and he has 3 wins and i have 2 so im on his heels

 

my goals have changed slightly...i just want to get back to the track with a working car now! msd has deemed my ignition box junk and is sending me a new one...eventually...they're on back order

 

Those 6010 boxes don't seem to be very reliable. I was disappointed last year when my box went up in smoke for no reason. I bought another box to use until MSD sent me a replacement box, it took them about 2 weeks I think. I kept the replacement box so if it happens again the car won't be down.

 

yes, i'm seeing a trend. i'm not going to spend any more money on it...just wait till i get my box back. having the car down means more study time...

i'm looking at the front distributor drives now...msd makes good product when you get into there 7 series boxes and stuff, so i was thinking of a distributor drive, and a 7530T box or something like that....would give me lots of room to grow. just don't know how to tackle things like timing marks and other odds and ends that you need to do when going to a distributor. wonder if someone will come out with a more reliable box than the 6010? or if msd will step up there program, and make like a 7 series version of the box with more capabilities? i'd love to keep my coils if i could...

 

hoping to hit 6.70 in the 1/8 with the new rearend and gears.

 

Matt couldn't you just use a MSD 6301 LS Trigger converter? Sounds simple enough if it actually works....looks good on paper.

 

instead of a crank trigger? maybe? i'm unfamiliar with that part number...i'll take a look at it. that could be the answer to this whole thing!

 

Its' designed to convert the factory LSx crank trigger signal to a 12 volt square wave signal that will trigger a conventional MSD 6 or 7-Series Ignition Control......

 

Updates on my goals:
So far my goals have be complete for the beginning of the season. Running low 14's, won a few rounds so far for Points in sportsman. And the main thing...the car is still running good and has been quite consistant for a boosted application!

14.02-14.26 in the last 10 full passes when I wasn't on the brakes or peddling. Car definitly passed my exspectations.

 

Swaping the top end on my motor. Hope to get down in the low 8s or high 7s (my home track is an 8th mile)

 

Waiting for the 2013 thread...

 

well, i met one of my two goals that i set: made the Dean's list at school this semester

barely went racing at all though as a result, and changed the whole car up and now rocking a t56 and a junkyard 5.3. the 6.0 is sitting on the stand waiting to go to the machine shop, and the th400 is in a turbo 4.8 car in kentucky running bottom 9's/upper 8's.

 

Congratulations. It's easier to race with a degree!

 

didn't make the fall race but in the 4's pretty easily now....maybe this Feb.

 

Shave .13 off and run 10's.

Not as easy as it sounds cause I have to add the weight on a mild steel 6 pt. rollbar.

 

Yeah I know. I was a little slow this year

 

 

GOAL......MET. Ran 12.30 with bigtime bog, then changed to a 4.30 after breaking the 9" and ran a 7.62 1/8th (i.e. 11.8x 1/4).

The LS1 has absolutely blew me away in performance.

Also, 243's already finished by AI, I'll be starting a new build thread soon for all my winter "upgrades"...muhahaha.

 

It took some doing but I eventualy got my main goal for the season with my first 10sec time slip. I smoked the t400 in June and didnt get the car back up and running till late July. Car woudn't 60ft for ****. 1.6-1.7 60ft. times. Seemed like the motor wanted more gear. Tried going from the 28" slick to a 26" drag radial. I had to walk it out to get it to hook with the small drag radial, but when I did I got my best et's with a 10.9et and a 1.51 60ft.
