loosen up that converter and give it more STR and you'll be fine with those gears.

you should be '60 footing in the 1.5's.

Not so simple. The crossbars and stuff still have to be welded. It'd not just unbolting the floor plates. As far as backseat. The lil ones will still be able to fit

What if you get in a wreck? Their little faces will smash the bar, unless it's removable to.

Dropped to a 3.55 from the 4.10, 500 ft better air, car picked up .05 to a 10.81. Didn't lose any mph, actually bested my best mph by 1.

Car is also 110 lbs heavier now too than my other run, cage added and left pass seat in

I'm switching to drag radials this week, i think they will put me in the .6's

It's very impressive everything you have done in such a short amount of time!

 

[beefcake]

it's winter!!!

time to step it up!

thinking, pistons, rods, lowered compression, some sort of fuel system upgrade, maybe a converter, upgraded valvetrain!

 

[RetroGT2006]

Damn man, good luck! I can't wait to see next time its out! I wish we had winters so i can leave my car down for a while and work on it/let her get a break from daily duty.

Post pix as you make progress

Shouldn't there be a car around that engine?

 

[Twinscrewgt]

Nice job man!! Any issues pulling the motor? I'll be duplicating this myself here soon =)

 

[GrnBullitt08]

Nice. I will be watching this build.

What was it that went south? Piston? Ring? No real reason to tear into the motor otherwise. Seemed to be making good HP from those who tuned it...

 

[Twinscrewgt]

From my understanding nothing went south. Just preparation for bigger things.

Goal is to run all 7 nmra races next year, drive to each race, and drive home. Some of the races are over 1000 miles away.

Goal is to "drive home" from each race and be in the 10.0 range with a dip into the 9's in the fall air on pump gas.

So what did you find that got hurt? Is there an L&M bullet in your future?
