hell yeah. maaaaan I need to buy a beater! Then I can do more serious work to my car.

It's sucking right now having my car up on stands to do my trans and gaskets. I have to mostly drive our 69 impala, which drives beautiful, but it absolutely loves gas! I mean it guzzles it compared to my stang

I need a 4 banger as a beater

I hate it when you've done something for so long and you start to get tunnel vision towards the end. It just makes you start to second guess yourself.

Did I do that step? [&:]

I do run Nitto's..always have, even when I went 7.5x's. Car made almost 393rwhp on a nitrous tune with just a cam/exhaust. With a cam the size of mine, and with the horsepower I'm making, on a 1.6x or so short time, it will go mid'ish 11's. I trapped 91.x mph on motor last time at the strip. That's good enough for a mid 7 pass in the 1/8, and a mid'ish 11 in the 1/4. Lot's of guys are in the 10's on motor with the setup I have...only, they have a rearend and are a little bit lighter.

Still should be an interesting race. Where do you live anyway?

I guess I am confused. Why does a heavyer car with less RWHP run a mid 11 on drag radials compared to a high 11 on a lighter car with more RWHP?? Your gonna pull a 1.6 on nittos?? I have a hard hard time seeing that. Hell, 1.7s is insane for nittos even with a good suspesion Not doubting ya here, but whats the deal?? This just doesn't make since.

I think someone is bull****ing you if they are saying they ahve a full intereior car running 10s on 400~ RWHP, espcially on drag radials. Maybe if the car weighed in around 2900 pounds then I could see it. But what fun is a gutted no a/c car??

MM&FF's "project icebox" ran like a 10.80 or .90 with 600+ RWHP on a vortech GT, with full interior and I want to say slicks (not sure about that, mighta been d/rs)

I live in missouri.

Edit: are you basing all of this off of 1/8th mile strip times? I have very little faith in the 1/8th to 1/4 mile converters. It always seems to make a car run much faster than it really would. Seems like the 1/8th is 99.99 percent launch. I know launch is super important in the 1/4 mile as well, but at least in the 1/4 you have some time to let the horsepower make up for a 1.85~ short time. That is around what I hope to get once I get used to it on the nittos. 1.7s, jeez. Don't tell me thats on the stock suspesion!

Wow Its not that loud at all.

But killer setup cant wait to start mine for the first time.

Nice car........
Project Ice box had 3.73 gears and never could hook all that great. There is a point with every suspension setup that you can actaully have to much horsepower. They needed to build up a race suspension and uprades like lower control arms and uppers dont cut it when your that high up in power. That is the case for even Funny cars depending on track conditions they sometimes actually have to turn down the power a bit to get faster times. You sacrifice power for traction, but in the end the traction yields better times (when you have extra power aivalable). It is a drag racing fact. Dont buy in to everything you read in the Mags. but Im not siding w/anyone either. That would be a good race, however my money would be on the blown 4.6.

The windows were up, did you see the dyno video??

Trust me, its loud
