There's still time to add a guess or change your guess up until the time I post the first et. We'll need 45 days after the first et post before we decide what it'll run "dialed in" Although it'll probably run better next winter when the D/A improves.

I've been saving my lunch money and just about have enough saved to cover the payoff now. Soo don't worry about my financial security.

Buster,

It's a 408W 4.0" stroke 4.030 bore.

351w stroked 408w. Right Steve?

Erik

I have a friend that was running a 373W stroker, with a C4. Best time was a 9.98.

It was a white 86 GT with the name Stalker on the door. I think the weight was a little less though.

The driver wasn't the tuner. The engine tuner was one of the best that I personaly know, that used to be a funny car driver in the 70's.

It also had a high dollar 950 BG carb. The intake was port matched. They sent the intake to Champion to get it ported and the car slowed. Not one of the runners were the same, so they replace it.

Ben,
Wait

Larry,
Tha Dart's already got Edel RPM heads. Good enough for now, just gotta get ride of that lime green paint.

MM,
How about at Sears Point's new track?

Erik,
Yep

TomP,
Yeah I agree.

Buster,
Yes sir a bigger cam and springs is next. But it's my 19 year old daughter's car and we have slowly progressed from an 18 second ride to the 11's so far. The car felt slow to her the last time out so that's my signal to pump things up a bit. Eventually she wants to drive a RED, but I tell her she'd better get a good job after college or marry right.

Everyone,

I fired the new motor up this afternoon. Lit on the first crank, 60#s of oil pressure idling/65#s at 3000rpm warm with 10-40 dino oil. Gotta tune it and set the valve lash tomorrow and put some road miles on it. First race on Monday Memorial day at SearsPoint. I'll post the first numbers and then the predictions will be cast in stone. The first numbers will be break-in runs with the timing laid back and the carb "out of the box" and shifting at only 6200 etc. Thanks for playing!

SteveW

What was up with the inadequate lubrication? Did the engine builder have any comments?

Is she single?

Remember with nothing tuned yet and 2 1/2 exhaust.

It ran,

60' 1.539
330' 4.458
1/8mi 6.939 @98.37
1000 9.112
1/4 10.978 @ 119.59

A slower 60' run later hit 121 mph. This thing's got a bunch left in it's tank.

Oh by the way, she won the first round and lost the second in a stripe war. It was a fun day!

Good luck,

Yeah,

But can you afford her?

Melissa said it was a blast to drive! Really slammed her back into the seat. I said "just wait, it's gonna get faster"

That's good news, I'll stay with my 10.46 guess....I think you can find 5 tenths in a month and a half

Me too! We coulda run uncorked today, but didn't. That alone will be worth 2 or 3 tenths maybe more if it's a bottle neck. Thanks for your help!

That part does suck, and I know how she feels. I lost the run off saturday night by .001, and lost the second round sunday on my "A" card by .002.

Yeah Rob,

She had the guy but thought she might break out and lifted. He was dialed 11.11 and she was dialed 11.00 and she ran a 11.20 @ 115 mph, he ran 11.29 something. He won by a .005 mov. She'll get it and she's a fast learner! She's just not used to the new car like she was with the 351 version. But she's only got 4 runs on it so far... These guys are a lot more competition than HS. This is the "no box class" here in div 7, 10.0 - 15.99. The box class is "pro et" here.

edit, p.s. when we left, Kiel Stiepel was still in it with his Helmet City Austin Healy. My dream is for Missy to trailer Kiel!
Nothing against Kiel, but he's the best and you gotta have something to shoot for.

We couldn't make it out today... had family from out of state and was a little busy. Are you guys planning on heading out on Wednesday?

Congrats on breaking into the 10s. Can't wait to see it run!!

Hey, at Sears on Wednesday drags, if I write "no time" on my window, will they NOT post my time on the board for everyone to see? I've heard of people doing this at other tracks...

Erik

That won't work at Sears Point for Wednesday night drags. Sorry,

I dunno if we'll make this Weds night or not, gotta check the car over real good first.

Why not? Are you a street racer?

They allow that at Sacramento Raceway on T&T so the street racer's don't tip people off to what their car will run.

Did I mention that this was with a Holley red pump in the rear, 3/8" fuel line and a stock mechanical pump at the engine? Melissa said it pulled hard through the traps and the time slip shows that to be the truth, so I'm not gonna upgrade the fuel system yet.

No, i'm not a street racer, seriously. I just don't wanna show an embarassing run . I know there are a lot of $hit talkers in the scene (around my area) and I know that would push me to spend way more money than I expect. As much as possible i'm trying to do this with my dad for FUN!

SteveW, you know i'm still learning and honestly, i'd just like to build something that will last. Hearing these stories about breaking at the track makes me not want to even run, to be honest. No offense to all you guys, I know it happens. I guess i'm not used to seeing internal engine parts break. I also don't wanna pour my paychecks into all this as I plan to tie the knot and buy a house all within the next year and a half.

I understand, so I'd suggest you run it on a Friday Night at Sac. Raceway where no one will know you.
