times and combos
« on: February 21, 2013, 11:52:10 AM »
while i'm still putting together my car, i'm just wondering what times it will run. so it got me thinking what times others are running

so why don't you post your times, details of your car (engine, trans, rear ratio & tyre diameter) and any other info you think people might be interested in

Great Idea, I think it would be good to include the Time Slip for the run being disscused.

I'd be glad to post a time slip, if I had a printer or scanner connected to this puter.   My little car isn't that fast but it impressed me, considering the combo. 5.94 @ 117 eighth mile with a ZZ-4 crate engine, 625 street demon carb, pump gas, glide, 4.86 gear 33x10.5w tire, 1250 lbs. I've been a lot faster but it sure cost more and was a lot harder work. Can't wait to see what the little blower engine will do!

our first time, last may, we broke the dedenbear glide. too hot of summer so our next time out was sept. we were running a buick 4.1 v6. this is the 5th or 6th car this engine been in. we did a best of 11.77 @ 111. not bad for a tired engine. the buick 350 going in next should take into the low 9's to start.

We like it. Had the 1.80 and it was too hard of a hit off the start. It's also what Scott and Frank suggest. I take their advice no matter what I think because I don't know xxxx. Lol

down to big block Chevy size), MGP Al. rods, 11.5:1 Arias pistons, Bowers 6-71 blower running
10% Under, Enderlie bugcatcher on straight alcohol, MSD mag @ 30* ign. timing, 14x31-15
Goodyears, 4.10 gear.
Best results so far...
