should be low 13's with better tires and good driver you shouldnt have problem breaking into 12's

[69charger2002]

i had a 440 standard bore but cleaned up, edelbrock performer RPM intake and carb, 906 heads, stock, 1 3/4 hooker headers, straight 3 inch exhaust dumping at the axle. 275/60/15 tires.. 4:11 gears. TCI 2800 stall converter. electronic ignition with accel super coil etc. doesn't sound TOO far off yours. i expected mid 13's it never got below 14.09. oohh if i had only had some drag radials...i was shocked with the slow time. of course my motor was a little more stock than yours.. and YES i know how to drag race i actually won the event that night against 32 competitors in the eliminations.. so don't hate with my 14.09 time. lol. all i'm saying is though it may feel like mid 12's, don't be shocked if it runs mid to high 13's

Mally, the BFG street tires will kill your short times....expect LOTS of wheelspin off the launch. It should go somewhere in the 13's if you can get it to hook.

  practice feathering it off the line.....dont mat it or you'll go up in smoke

[mally69]

I will let everyone know what my boat runs in the 1/4 when i get back saturday night ... I definatly have some tuning to do on the carb, needs to be leaned out a bit  but i think i ll let it go this time.. 

keep the poll going guys   thanks for all advice  

[mally69]

well they were only running 1/8 mile today so i didnt get to run in the 1/4  but   heres is what my time slip says.......

be honest,, tell me if its good or bad i wont be offended at all

60'    1.995
330   5.778

 well i used to have allmost the same set up. only diff from yours to mine where
1) i ran purple shaft 509 lift, i think it is a 292 duration
2) my iron heads had a stage 2 port from muscle motors in lansing
3) ran hoosier quick time d.o.t. 's 295 60 r 15's

this was about 8 years back
my 60' was 2.3 --------- yes i know burned the hell out of the tires but dam it was fun
12.75 @ 112 mph.

[Just 6T9 CHGR]

Nice run!  Seems to be in line with my car.

I was 8.744 at the 1/8  @ 81.64 MPH

1/4 mile was 13.550 @ 102.40MPH

[Lunger]

what rpm where you shifting at?  I was running it real hard, I think i was shifting about 6600 rpm. I wanted to see what it would do , i had my foot into it to see what rpm it would nose over at, but it just kept pulling, but when it hit 6600, i chickened out and shifted.

Oh and i made a error my MPH was only 110

sounds like my ported heads where the big difference uptop

[mally69]

i shifted about 6200

1/4 mile was 13.550 @ 102.40MPH

what gear ratio do you run ??

[69charger2002]

so if chris's ran a 13.55 and yours was just a touch slower in the numbers.. that makes for ABOUT a 13.70 run. i'd say you did good with that.. and it's very close to what i predicted

haha    im sure if i had more time at the track i could get better times not sure how much better but there is probably some room for improvement    i had a great time there and i am hooked on it ,   i cant wait to go again

Chris what are the specs on your car???

[Just 6T9 CHGR]

440 with approx 9.3:1 compression with 915 closed chambered heads, Engle K56 cam (224º duration with .504" lift), Edelbrock CH4B manifold, Holley vac Sec 750 with HP main body, stock HP manifolds with a full 2.5" Accurate LTD exhaust stock hemi mufflers, full manual reverse valvebody 727, 3.55 Sure-Grip rear, 255/60/15 RedLine radial tires.....wheww that was a mouthfull!

If I got better traction and was a bit more daring with my shift RPM's (shifted at 5500 max) I would hope to the in the low 13's possibly high 12's

Im hoping to make another track appearance this November at the F.A.S.T. race at Englishtown Raceway Park in NJ

[mally69]

chris your car is totally awesome mine looks similar to yours without the vinyl top and a few other things
