Car was never weighed before. That was a guess by Ted. Since his wrong guesstimate I added the 9" and upgraded the cage to a 10 point and added the frame mounted chute. It was 4100# on the dot. 1/2 tank of fuel.

The car was prob always 4100 with me. The inflated weight was just to look better I guess....

At 780 rwhp the car went 9.80 and blew up multiple times. Sometime even without racing.

Now at 720 it went 9.65 and improving. There's plenty left in the 60' and my shifting will get better as will the air.

I learned a lot on Friday with the launch and 1/8th mile passes.

Thanks ray. Took the summer to enjoy the first summer the car wasn't sitting, broken. Now it's time to get back to work. Lol

Just to be clear on the weight. Nothing has been taken out.... Yet.

More than likely I'll try and at least drop the seats before the end of the year.

The other diffetence is now im on 93 with meth as opposed to full race fuel all the time. Now it's so much easier to drive that car all the time then just take it to the track.

I hear you but considering you went to a 416 ported heads bigger cam TH400 and how much boost? 9.60's is still moving but you made huge changes to pick up 2-3 tenths and the mph tells HP.

Best 1/8th was 6.10 and that was twice.

Best 1/8th mph was 114.03

The 1/2 shift I'm late on and by the evidence and the backfire in the video it's not good for the ET.

Letting off at the 1/8th yielded a 10.2x at 99. haha. Brian knows all about that.

I would think at this power level I should see a 9.4 or a 9.3 at ATCO in Nov/Dec. The air last week was above 1000.


Just happy to be moving forward and not picking out parts for the engine....again! lol

15 psi right now. Don can crank it up to 22/23 but only after I'm better at the shifting.


Right now the 400 is hurting my times because I'm not efficient at shifting it.

Down 60 rwhp from the 9.80 pass, and it'll be almost a 1/2 second faster when it's all said and done.

Glad to see you back. The air was above 2000 according to some guy with a weather station.

I'd race you. Win or lose. With your shifting there's always a chance. I'd hate to see what your car would run with a real driver.

Yeah, I went there
