First passes with H/C

[Legion21]

OK I finally got to the track to see what the car will do since we put the new cam and P & P'ed heads. These times are just on motor w/o nitrous.

Old times
13.53 @ 102 mph
2.007 60'
2730' DA

New best
13.07 @ 106
1.997 60'
3495' DA

What Bob and I were able to determine is that my car is screaming for a 3000 rpm stall converter, and some 3.73 gears. The new cam doesn't really come alive until 3800 rpm, which is right around the 60' mark at the track. I was able to pull 5/10ths of a second off my E.T. with only 1/100th off my 60's. I think the track session confirmed what Bob and I already knew, let's get my chassis and driveline up to par with the motor.

P.S. A big thanks to Bob at www.advancedautocc.com for trailering my car to the track and helping with the set-up. I cant tell you how much he has helped me so far in my quest for speed. It's rare to find a speed shop where the owner put as much heart and time into your project as you do (actually he has put more than me!!).

We live for winter racing here. That's the good side of living in Florida. The bad side? Hades type track temps, sky high humidity and the ever-present afternoon thunderstorm that brings rains of Biblical proportions. Hurricanes, of course bring their own brain damage, but it's the price we pay... 12's are in their, even in summer conditions, but some tweakin' is in order.
