Yea, they shouldn't take long to install.

[WHY_NOT???]

well it was fun, I ran a mid 11, something is wrong with my axles and it wont move as fast because so thats the next thing on my list hehehe:sad:


and Jay ran a 10.0 and still kinda spun off the line

[TheShow50h]

Damn, jay should have called me ... I would have went to at least hang out.

[WHY_NOT???]

yeah I was telling him about that hehehe woulda been nice

that and laugh at me running soooo slow :crack:

[TheShow50h]

Oh well ... next week. With my new control arms I should be able to get off the line quite a bit better :)

btw, I'm going to call him tomorrow and bitch at him, :)

[obrien2]

I ran a 9.81 @ 72.5 mph. Thats my best at sunshine, but not my best 1/8th. JL lightning ran a 7.98

[TheShow50h]

Obrien, That's pretty damn good for that truck ... nice

JL, I'm not sure if it's your first time in the 7s, but congrats anyway!

Why Not???, what was jay's trap speed?

[VQ35DE]

i ran a 9.1 @ 78 on the motor

[TheShow50h]

work on that 60ft time vq ;)

[ZACSLS1]

I ran 8.4 at 84mph. 60ft 2.234 That sucks.

yeah i know, that was with my stock suck ass tires.

[JavAllan]

Last night was my first time on slicks. Damn those cracks are scarey! Whats up with that . It would be safer running on the street!
Kept flooding out my best was 8.64 @79mph against a newer dark blue or black Z28. Is that someone here? If so nice run man it was a close one, but you got me. Next time I'm going to have to shift at 5500 instead of 5000. And I never should of put it in third. Wish I could of did some test & tune on test & tune night, but when you can only get 3 runs in its kind of useless.
Oh I was driving the primer AMX/JAvelin.

[ZACSLS1]

That was me.....

[JavAllan]

Nice run man:)
Can I ask if you have any mods. and what they are? Just wondering how my 30+ year old iron stacks up against the newer stuff.
I've got a low compression 360 with stock iron heads, cam, intake, and headers. Street gears and high stall converter.

[ZACSLS1]

Ported throttle body, mass air work, airlid, intake (cut) MSD individual coil packs, wide-pipe, magnaflow exhaust, other junk but that is about it. does that make sense? I am also running on street tires. My 60 foot time sucks.

[JavAllan]

I ran a good light on that race (unusual for me) and got a decent 60' (1.927), thats what kept it close. You came on pretty quick once you got traction and it shows with my 79mph compared to your 84mph.
Is that an average run for you? Or do you usually run quicker?

[ZACSLS1]

Average. Traction kills me. I should have the drag radials mounted by next week. We shall see. It was recommended that I do some suspension work as well and I think I will do that. We will have to run again sometime. I plan to be in the low 7s in a month. Torqie convertor, 100 shot of juice and drag radials. What is your 1/4 mile time?

[JavAllan]

I never ran the 1/4. What do you run? I've only run the 1/8 a couple of times. So I'm still a newb.
I'm in desperate need of front and rear springs. I think someone put 1 ton truck springs on the back at some point. They are sooo stiff.
I'm currently getting a set of heads ported and flowed. So hopefully I'll have them on the car in another month as well as rebuild my carb. again. After that I'm thinking nitrous also. 100 or 150 sniper kit probably.
I'll look for your car if I ever get to the track again.

[ZACSLS1]

Well Good luck with the heads. I hope you can get that going. Careful on the Nos. I have HR springs in mine. Do you have your throttle body ported and have you removed the Screen? That is crucial. Little power adder. I have never done the 1/4 mile. I think I will do that in a couple of weeks. Come out to sunshine next wednesday and we will BS a little.

[obrien2]

Hey zac I think I raced him in your car.

Thanks Show

[JavAllan]

No throttle body work done. Its old school carburation. The intake has been ported and modified though. I'm just going to put a plate system in, if I can ever get the carb. set up right.
Probably won't be back to the track for some time. New job starts next week.
Good luck on your mods.

I am not sure about that I think he was 76

hey Vinny why not just get floating ladder bars, you would hook nicely I think right?:mullet:

[TheShow50h]

Already hook pretty good. Last time out though I was trying 5,000 and 4,500rpm side steps, but the tires couldn't handle it and broke loose everytime. I spun my last run last time I was out and ran a 9.06 w/o power shifting and the time before that I hooked up on a soft launch and ran an 8.96.

[WHY_NOT???]

damn nice run's Vinny, are you spinng even with the slicks, cuz if you are wow definatly time for the suspension lol :crack: :bowdown:

[TheShow50h]

yeah, I've been spinning the 8" slicks off the line. The new control arms should make a world of difference though. I'm hoping for maybe an 8.7 ... probably an 8.8 though.

[WHY_NOT???]

nice, but why are you only runng 8's why not 10's or 12's maybe?

[WHY_NOT???]

nice, but why are you only runng 8's why not 10's or 12's maybe?

[TheShow50h]

:lol: ... Sorry, I'd have to miss 2nd and 3rd gear ... and hit the brakes before I passed the line.

[WHY_NOT???]

yeah lol but you would hook better
