13s
Got em on friday, I have to find the slip and post up the whole thing but it was a 13.97 at around 102 mph. I was kinda frustrated because the best I could put down on motor was a 15.13 or so, couldn't even get into the 14's
. Clutch is slipping pretty bad, but I think I just suck at driving in general
. I've knocked out a few 104 mph passes and I pulled out more timing this time, so I think if I bump it up just a little I might gain that 2 mph back and get a little deeper into "slightly fast car" territory.

Congrats Tony. Your where I could never get to. I'd like to be running a mid to high 14 on just the motor. If I had chosen the proper cam I could probably get there. But it's not to be. I will shortly be getting out of the third gen business.

All ready have a buyer. I just don't have the time to put in it any more. And having it as my toy is detracting me from getting a corvette. I have wanted one of those for years.

Grats Tony!! When is the next time you are going down to the track? I'd like to go, haven't been there in a while. Won't be racing, just wanna watch. Give me a call before you leave next time!

Dude, That Rocks!!!
I am heading out to Firebird Friday to see what this new motor I just finished can do myself......13's would be nice but the last motor I had pulled me into a 14.98 so anything better than that would be sick.....Little worried about traction though....On the street I burn the tires all the way thru 1st and that is from a 20 MPH roll.....I can only imagine a clutch dump.....
Man I hope the track will hold traction better than the street....

hopeing it will help, we'll see yeah, plagues, your setup should be running faster than that... i run high 14's with swirl ports and a stock cam... good luck with that... hopefully my next trip out to phoenix will be in a 1992 RS 355cid TPI & BW/WC T-5 that runs mid 13's on ported heads and stock cam...
