toying with the idea of 4.33s in the car as I have a line on some. however, this past Sun at a TnT session at US41 in Morocco, IN conditions were ideal. about 47 and overcast. 5-10 mph tailwind. DA of -1068ft!!!!! I ripped off a 1.94 60ft on my way to a 12.55 @ 112.17 I'm still in disbelief. I knew the car had a little bit more in her, but holy crap!!!!

Cool! Those are some great times.
I hope to be in the 12's someday,but a long way to go.
I did knock a few .1's off my 60' this year with the 3.90's,but never beat my old best times as the DA was never as good on the few times I made it out this year.

Wow!!!!!! That is awesome! Those have to be the best numbers ever out of a Pure Stock D-port Pontiac.

I was feeling pretty good about getting a 12.65 out of my Lemans at Atco on Sunday, but your numbers blow me away! Great job!

It sounds like you have the car dial in pretty good. Changing the rear end gear ratio from 3.90 to 4.33s will probable get you another 2tenth off. Other than changing the gear ratio,have you exhausted all other upgrades within pure stock drag rules?

The engine was built to I'd say like 99% of the max allowed. Too much time and money to go any further on the engine. Besides, I think it's fine and I knew that when it was built. I just have detail items left there (better chrome valve covers, better chrome air cleaner lid, things like that). I do have some suspension things to do, such as replacing the last two rear rubber bushings with polygraphite. I do need to drop the tank, clean or replace, and replace the sending unit as I've been clogging fuel filters lately. Otherwise, lots of cosmetic stuff. Although most of it will have to wait until my W-31 is ready for the Pure Stock Drags as I need to have at least one car eligible to participate.

Yeah the suspension is a big factor. Correct me if I'm wrong but I would think a suspension that is alittle worn out,you'll have a better launch.

That's hauling @$$! Not sure you'd gain much, if anything, by going with 4.33's. What's your RPM going thru the lights?
