Still iron heads, Edelbrock intake, and 50 year old afb carbs. And still 3850 pounds! 10.13! I am still stunned it went that fast! Backed it up with a 10.14. I think that’s it though. Air was good and I moved timing around and jetting and couldn’t get any more. Maybe there is a few hundredths but that’s it. I can finally say it’s maxed out.

Don't you just love late summer-early fall air???????

[BRYAN FUGATE]

[quik9r]

WOW!

 

[Iowa 409 Guy]

Congratulations Dan. Did the data logger help squeeze this out?

 

[Tooth]

Well it definitely sets a mark, now Dan I wonder how many people will try to top that? All I have to say is good luck it’s very impressive. Keep going and you’ll have to get that certified chassis and pro license yet.

 

[Phil Reed]

CONGRADULATIONS!!!!!! Now that you have maxed it out........this would be a perfect time to give it to me!!!!!!!!!!

WOW!! That is some impressive times for a 3800 pound car, who wouldn't be proud of that. GREAT job Dan and Congratulations!!

 

[MRHP]

Way to go Dan, that's picking them up and putting them down.

I used to travel around and run track and field as a sprinter in my younger years. A new best time is never the end of the road but the beginning of a new journey to find that next break through. You will continue to strive for a better performance and though it gets harder and harder with every gain, you experience and expertise will continue to tune the balance between you and your equipment and find ways to improve. Its always a thrill to watch you run and I look forward to seeing you make that car faster.

 

[Barry Taylor]

Those are impressive runs Dan!! You should be proud of what you’ve accomplished, and at 3,800 lbs. “WOW”

Congratulations Dan. Did the data logger help squeeze this out?

Not really on the horsepower side. More on the 60’. I was stuck at 1.43 but now most runs are 1.40.

The only way this thing is getting any faster is new parts and dollars! I’ve done everything from squaring the rear end to the front spindle centerline to different brake caliper o-rings to reduce drag. I’ve been through every inch experimenting. Next step is to finally modify a busted factory intake I got from Phill and make it a single plane. That should but me into the 9s all day. The issue is do I want to go 9s. License, turn roll bar into a cage, gloves, pants, shoes, window net, chassis cert etc.Then what about the mint factory original bench? I like it and so does everyone else. Not safe though. ?????

 

[La Hot Rods]

I would say it is if you have it braced well. Course your not a very big lad so your not putting that much stress on it.
Just lose some weight on the car and you would be in the 9s.

 

[wristpin]

Awesome! Thats seriously attention to detail work!!
