11.84 @ 118 mph.

I finally got some used mickey thomsons. It bogged off the line, as I wasn't prepared for how hard they would hook. Since the tracks are closed, looks like it is time for some hooker LTs and my nitrous system.

Ohh, I have a cheesy 2.8 mb video from my digital camera If anyone knows how to make it avalible to the TGO people, let me know.

 

I get to be the first to say: CONGRATS!!!

 

Great job! Gotta love those 406's :hail: Gofaster, if you can post all the stats of that timeslip. I just want to compare them to some other cars and my own.

 

Yeah, I will post the slip, at school now, I will get it later tonight. Post that slip for that 383 with the ported 210s.

 

I'll check out that slip later. I am too at school now, it's break time. I'll get times for the new engine asap. If the track's closed by then, I'll get dyno #'s instead. The engine will be in the car this week. The shortblock is completely put together and is sitting on a motorstand. I just gotta get the car in the garage and get the brackets, heads, and intake on. Not to mention the little things. I would've already had the engine together, but the shop had to order tit. retainers in order to finish ***. the heads. I'm really excited. I'll get the heads later today!

 

Yeah, that thing should really run, that is more motor than I have and a good exhaust too...

 

I'm hoping to run around your times, Gofaster. That would be the same as it was running before. I'll be happier if I hit 120mph traps and I think I could because of more comp. and brand new everything. I figured it up and if I were to duplicate my motor with all new parts the engine would end up being right at ten grand. That scares me. The best deal was getting the race shop to put my entire shortblock together including the cam being degreed for only $150. That brought the total machine shop bill to $1100, which was more than I figured, but I always do that. Talk to you later.

Good job Gofaster. That bog will be gone with those long tubes.....I promise!!

 

Good job man! I think the 406 is what I want to do... very nice... now its time for your vid.

 

I know Brett ran a 12 flat at around 118.5mph. I gave you all the details on the fastest actual slip he gave me, I think. I know it trapped about 117mph, but that's because the distributor was having problems in 3rd. I know the 1/8 mph was almost 93mph. You should pm Lethal, he's know what his best time was.

 

Thanks guys.

David, actually it bogged b/c I dumped the clutch too low. That was a 2500 dump. I went to 3500 on the next pass (see the video link above) and it spun and went sideways to an 11.95.

wait, when did u give me leathals times?
