Default New best time...

Alright so last night I hit up the track to see what I could do. I couldnt use my stock 10 holes up front anymore because of the bigger brakes (and 5-lug conversion) so I had the 17's up front and was on 15x7 26x8.5 MT slicks in the rear. My very 1st run I got a 12.42 at 115, didnt get that one on vid, I only got a 1.87 60 footer also. My next run I got a 12.65 at 110. My third run I got a 12.44 at about 111 with a 1.75 60 footer. My dad got a best of 12.3 at 110 in his 1970 chevy long bed pickup, but after that he kept running slower times because his clutch was GONZO, you can tell in the vid he hits the rev limiter quite a bit.

Yea everything thats on the motor is setup for a 302 so I know thats really being a restriction for the 347 to breathe. I had it setup so I could pass emmisions and everything is smog legal, but that is gonns change really soon.

12.42 and 115+ tells me that you need to work on the chassis/suspension, not the engine...........
115+ says you have the HP to run 11's now and not the chassis/suspension for it.........

Yea true I need to lighten up the front end with tubular A-arms, coilovers and maybe throw on a manual rack and pinion.The rear suspension is good for now but I need to get some wider slicks also because Ispun pretty bad most of my launches. I still daily drive this thing so as soon as I get me a daily those are the 1st things on my to do list.
