What does everyone run / what's your setup?

I would love to see what everyone on here runs and the specs on your setup. I will start, all of my cars are DOT cars on street tires:

Current car: 1989 Iroc Z 5.7, 2.77 gears 2800 converter
Best: 14.6 @ 94.5

Previous car: 1982 Camaro 350HO crate with xe274 can
Best: 12.28@111.85

I will be doing heads can headers intake and carb this winter on my 89, I miss wearing a helmet .

What is everyone else running?

Re: What does everyone run / what's your setup?

357 motor, 10.9:1 C.R., Vic Jr., 650 Mighty Demon carb, Comp solid roller 236@ .050 .550 lift, Canfiled 195 heads. Cobra T-56 trans, Ford 9" 3.50 gears with a locker

Best run so far was a sad 13.3 @110.16 Car needs lots of suspension work and tires to hook, but mph suggests the motor is making decent power for what it is. Going to tear into the motor soon to see if I can get a little more power out of it.

Re: What does everyone run / what's your setup?


So far I've been 10.97, @123. Plenty more still in it. Trying to get the rest of the car up to par with the drivetrain. Still sorting out suspension and proper gear to get the best out of it. Car is street driven all the time!

The motor is an 010 350ci block with Diamond billet main caps, Stock GM forged crank, knife wedged and lightened to 43 lb's. Eagle 6.0" rods. Ross Pistons 13.8:1 compression. Dart Pro1 heads, Schneider solid roller .680Lift. ProForm 950. Car runs on E-85 only. T400 with a brake, 5500 stall, Moser 9" w Detroit Locker.

You'll have to wait a little longer. I won't be at the october race since it's the same weekend as OC cruise. Converter is at PTC now getting adjusted and the car should pick up a bit next time out.

Re: What does everyone run / what's your setup?

the l69 cars were very surprising. didn't take too much for them to get going quickly. now beyond where he's at will take some serious thought though (not hard, just not easier either). i have a buddy that had an 85 lb9/t5 car that made some impressive runs with just a handful of bolt ons and free mods done.
