1/4 mile time estimate

[six-tee-nine]

going fast with a stick car mean being rude to the ting......

when the light goes green you plant your right foot all the way down and keep it there untill you cross the line. changing gears means tipping the clutch and violently slamming the stick towards the next gear.
From what I've been told these cars should be able to hold up to that violence. Ronnie sox did it all day long

But Ronnie had a tractor trailer load of fresh engines/transrears free from Chrysler, so he didn't give tow sh*ts if he blew something up... Therefore, he got good at it.

cdr you were right. pushed accelerator to floor & look at carb it is not wide open.it is way off. we could not  fix it with my bracket, so

That's definately a problem....good that you figured it out.  If you don't have the 20-7 throttle adapter make sure to get one of those too ! 

George....how much does the car weigh ?

i think i have this 20-7 bracket, but do i need it with hly-2--112? i am using aftermarket lokar throttle cable ......
i do not now the exact weight, but would think 150lbs lighter than stock.

The Holley 112-2 is listed a base plate....not sure why you would need to change that part ?

With a Lokar cable and the 20-7 adapter you will be able to achieve wide open throttle with the pedal on the floor. It's just a matter of adjusting the cable properly.

Fun meter still on high?  I'm having fun and I'm not even there.  Keep it up.

It is important to compare this to the last time out.  First, you need to standardize the results to make it an apples to apples comparison.   The short version is this:  The weather conditions were a lot better yesterday than they were on September 15 accounting for much of the improved results.  Yesterday, the DA was like 150 ft, and on the previous time out it was like 1700 ft.  Apples to apples, yesterday was 12.9 @109.9, and the past run was 13.15 @ 109.6 when adjusted to standard conditions.  The carb opening made almost no change  (per the mph difference) and most of the et improvement was likely due to driver technique.


Have you checked the fuel pressure at WOT yet?

George, next year I would love to meet you at the track.  I never been either.  Two Chargers down the track would cool.

It did improve slightly but that was probably due to the lower DA....2.5mph & 4 tenths is definately going in the right direction George   

I'm thinking fuel delivery   

My old 446 made a lot less power than George's new stroker and it would still pull 115-116 mph at 4100 raceweight.

that would be great 2 chargers going down the track. i was there for 2 hours and was the only mopar .
also, Ron i fixed the cable your way. i have to adjust it little more since i have a hard pedal right now.
