I am going to weld it tomorrow but i did not want to risk causing dammage with the holes in the exhaust even though people said some hose clamps would have fixed it enough to make more runs.She ran 6.606/105.94 in the 1/8 then the air filter slid back causing a fuel problem,stumble enough for me to peddle it slowing me to a 10.56/118mph.

Me and the car after.

I have never seen one of those come off before.  Never even really thought about it being possible.

Nice. 

"She ran 6.606/105.94 in the 1/8 "  Pretty serious steam....she'll go about 130 mph.

Very nice

Did you end up beating that Camero?, couldn't tell in the vid

[metalstorm440]

My car ran 136/10.14 last yr but the carbs would not let me stage like i want so this was my 1st outing this yr to adjust them so i will get them close next time out which may be the mopar finals at norwalk and at that point i hope to be 9.80/140 with factory iron 346 heads and 14# boost at 3900 lbs.

I didn't know Norwalk was 1/8 mile.

[metalstorm440]

I didn't know Norwalk was 1/8 mile.

Norwalk is 1/4 mile.

[Ghoste]

Thats what I thought.  I think I'm understanding it now though, because you got out of it, the 1/8 mile results were the only notable ones on the time slip?

[metalstorm440]

You got it!This darn 3 circuit carb is driving me nuts.I just jetted down in the intermediat circuit but my LM-1 is actingup. 

[rt green]

did you beat the camaro?

[adauto]

Looked like the cumarrow red lighted. See the (-) minus sign in the video.... 

[metalstorm440]

Real good reaction time.  Low 10's ain't bad either.  Good luck at your next run

Thanks but the reaction time is bad for my useual [.050 under].I hope i can get out again but you never know about the weather.My goal has allways been to go 9.90 with my 3900# car/driver so that is only a few timing * away and a better 60'.I have been 1.41 60' with 8# of boost so i know i can get it.I found the low/reverse band 4turns out and slipping so i adjusted that[2 turns out] and it should help.

[JB400]

Best of luck to ya
