ok guys ET is a little off but check out the 60 foot :rockon:

R/T-.558
60'-1.893
330-5.934
1/8-9.353
MPH-71.34
1000-12.347
1/4-14.883
MPH-89.04

 

Good times still, but you lost a few mph somewhere.

 

Those really are great times. That is an amazing 60 foot for an LO3. You should see some awesome numbers once you start adding mods that increase the ponies. You deffinately have the traction down.

 

yeah i dont understand the better 60 and lower trap speeds that one has me boggled

 

Your better 60 times are due to a great launch and being a good driver. The low trap speeds are because you have that poor stock LO3 up front.

 

true, but IIRC he was trapping around 92 or so mph before.

 

yeah before it turned 91mph ah oh well im still stoaked about the 60 foot

 

My geuss would be that his improved traction limited his motor from reaching its power band as fast as it would if there was some slip. Top fuel dragsters will trap the best with moderate slip all the way down the track. We all know how close an LO3 is to a top fuel car . I am pumped to see his times when he gets some top end on that car. If he can pull those 60 foot times with even a mild cam and some tuning he could easily knock off a half second.

 

yeah thats what im worried about i just dont have the resources or the knowledge to burn a chip for a different cam or heads

 

What all you got on that thing to push it into the 14's? I know I have one of the faster bone stock L03's on TGO from what I've seen (not bragging, so no flaming guys) and the best I've pulled is a 15.3! Yeah, that 60' IS amazing! Wish I could do that...

That's an amazing 60' man, real nice. When a little bit of wheel slip is factored in, as soon as the tires "catch", the motor is usually in a higher RPM bracket (closer to peak HP) so even though you spun, you kept your revs in a more powerful part of the powerband and you get higher MPH, but a slower 60'.

 

What was the weather like between the two runs?

 

what all suspension mods do you have done to that thing? those are amazing 60' times. keep up the good work!

 

To Chuck- The weather was pretty good down in the low 50s

the suspension is bone stock of course i removed the sway bars both front and rear to give the car better weight distribution out the whole

but heres the list again of all the mods down to the exact part and brand

wow, and you still don't have a posi yet? That's very impressive for a 1 wheel peeler.

 

those are some great times, although i wasn't suprised to see a monster stall converter, and DR's on your mod list

 

yeah the next mod is defenitly posi

 

Hence the great 60' times. But damn 3500 stall?!?! Thats beefy for the stock cam. Imagine with the posi.
U need to start crackin those manifold bolts and head bolts and get to work.

 

Ohh duh forgot about the other thread you said all that stuff in. Yeah, rockon dude, I can only imagine what your times look like with posi....

 

I thought you were also running an aluminum driveshaft and aluminum drums?

 

It IS possible to get both wheels to hook with a non posi rear end and drag radials or comparable tires. It's not hard, you just have to heat both tires before you get to the line. It usually takes getting the RR heated first then it's easy to get the LR heated. Then just come off the line at your best rpm (just depends on your converter or clutch condition).

Steve

 

oh yeah duh i forgot that stuff i got a aluminum drive shaft from a 2000 trans am and a set of aluminum brake drums from an 86 IROC

 

Yeah man, if you're putting down 1.8X 60' times, posi is definitely the least of your worries, I'd say the biggest gain is to be had by burning your own proms.

 

yeah man thats got me worried stiff cause i want to put a cam and a set of heads on it but im just a hill billy and dont have the resources or the knowledge to do custom chips

 

I read in another post about a company that burns chips for cheap(around $50). You just call em up and tell em the set up and they do it all for you.

Check out www.TBICHIPS.com

Hope they can get you in the right direction

 

Yup that is who about 99% of TBI modders turn to. The guys name there is Brian.

 

thanks a million guys maybe now i can start on the inside of this mean little small block

 

Do you think you will be able to get it into the 13's?

 

im gonna try like hell:hail:

 

Hey guys, where are all of you mounting your MSD's or boxes like them? I can seem to find a good spot to mount mine and that is what is delaying the install of mine. I have a Crane HI-6 with coil to install. Any recomendations would be great. I still have have AC if that helps with recomendations.

Thanks

Bill

 

That'd be a better question to ask in the Tech/General forum or the Electrical forum. Try to stay on topic with the thread header please!

 

Dennis,

I have gotten two chips from Brian so far. He has done a good job for me. Just keep in mind that it will take a long time and a lot of chips to get it dialed in right. But if you don'e know how to burn your own, Brian is a good place to start.

Bill

 

Sorry about that guys. I forgot.

Thanks for the info on the chip though. I will definitely give brian a hollar.

Thanks again,

Bill
