[QUOTE=er455;6303354]Hi Curtis did it run 9.80 in the quarter ? Did you let off because it said 98mph.

Yeah, let out at the 1/8. Would've gone 8.9x-9.0x in the 1/4.

Awesome , I have the a very simular setup but I am on E85 , what are you running for timing and are running race fuel ? Are you running a factory block ? I am just wanting to run mid 9 ,s in the quarter with a a full weight 79 trans am with A/c and overdrive (4l80e )

I'm on pump gas. 93 octane and 1,000ml of water/methanol. It's a '71 455" 2 bolt block. Raceweight is about 3,830lbs. I made a mistake with the timing. I thought I had 38° in it for base timing but only had 34°. So I was pulling 11° for 27° but was actually at 23° because of the mistake. I checked timing before running and added 2° for my first pass for a 25° under boost. Got caught up in tuning the 60' and never did add more timing. Was planning on 28-29° at 14psi. Was also pulling 5° on the leave. Hope all that isn't confusing. Lol

[QUOTE=er455;6322493]Hey Curtis how are you pulling timing out ? Thru a msd box ? I have a MSD 6 plus and it will pull up to 10 degrees out , but would you trust that it won’t fail ? Is there a fail safe way to pull timing out for boost ? Thanks

Sorry, haven't been on here in a while. I'm using a MSD 6530 box. It allows you to pull timing where you want and at different amounts if you'd like. I drive around on normal timing and dont pull any until 3psi. It also allows me to pull timing at the leave to calm it down some. Not worried about it failing. Anything could fail at any time. Hard to say.
