Went to a track rental. As usual I couldn't get the stuff that I wanted to do done like leaning it out (was 10.4afr), lashing valves, plugs, and reset timing. Anyway, this was leaving off 4.5-5psi with 5° of timing pulled and ramping to 14psi. I made a mistake and had my timing 4° down from where I wanted it. I think it would have ran a 5.6x or better leaner with a couple degrees more timing. Idk. Not hateful for a little over 3,800lbs.

Thanks! I spent some time with the suspension and cage this year. Got tired of spinning. It's starting to come around.

Thanks! I don't think I've seen you post in a while. Is everything still good with you and your car?

[RUDOLFSSON]

Yes.. not much of a poster these days.

Life is busy with three kids and big house renovations... car is still alive sort of but not in running condition as is

Hi Curtis did it run 9.80 in the quarter ? Did you let off because it said 98 mph . Slowe;6296845]Went to a track rental.

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

[er455]

Thanks very nice set up glad to hear it a factory block too that what I have , no not confusing i have my timing locked at 28 at 14 # of boost

[David Holmberg]

Great run! I've not run at Clay City in years, always fun there.
