Larry, no disrespect. However, IMO to run 7's in the 1/4 (more than once, remain safe, legal etc.) you can expect to double that figure, or more!

I dont mean in the quarter i mean in the 1/8

Well amazingly enough i am looking into getting a car into the low 7's problemm is doing that. Money is no problem i have been looking for somthing that is actually worth somthing to spend my money on instead of stupid girl crap if you know what i mean. Right now i am looking at buying these two TA's one is a 78 the other is a 79 one with a 400 and one with a 403 is it possible to get these down in to the low 7's some way some how? <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

do not get the one with the 403 thats the olds engine, you will have great difficulty to get that engine into the 7s...unless u do a engine swap

[PMDRACER]

Go with the car with the 400. The 403 is an Oldsmobile motor.

Well the guy is selling both together. For $3500 i was thinking about doing one as a daily driver ans the other one as a race car. I dont know if he would sell them individually to me or not. Why is the olds hard to get to work? I was going to see if i could find a 455 anywhere also to mayeb sweap out i dont know yet i need the car first i geuss.

I'm running 7.60's 1/8th with a very mild and somewhat mismatched combo.

I've got a .030 over 455 with home tailgate ported (literally!) #62 heads. Comp 280 cam, stock rocker arms. Stock crank & rods with good rod bolts & TRW flattops, balanced. Torker 1 intake, holley 750DP, and hedman 1 3/4 headers going into a PY 3 inch X pipe system. Rear gears are (well, were) 4.10's with a 29.5 inch slick. 3400 stall JW converter.

I also took weight off the car (79 T/A, former 403 car) - fiberglass hood, AC & heater delete, draglites, etc.

With a cam, converter & rear gear change dragsim is predicting low 7's.

Jennifer, I know you meant 1/8. However, I was responding to Larry's post regarding the respective price to achieve 1/8 and 1/4.

I know a guy that is knocking on the 7 second door (1/4) and it takes money, money and more money!

[Goldie]

Okay well like i said money doesnt matter because i get paid a lot for doing little and it is pretty steady i just hate spending money on stupid crap.


MikeB i was wondering since you are from DFW where do you race at?

Mostly at denton since it's the closest track to me. Right now i'm scrambling to get ready for the PSN @ ennis. Last time I ran down there was around 1990.

I think you can easily achieve your low 7 second goal without a lot of exotic parts.

[Goldie]

That is great maybe one of the times i am out there i will see you run.... I go out every couple of months i go to other places for racing a lot more.
