Re: Drag strip tomorrow!
Thanks for the input guys. The calculator might be slightly skewed by my more eighth time I stated earlier. Probably higher rpm than I think. Just put a holley 800 marine carb on to open it up. It made a big difference. It pretty confident that will get me into the 13s. Thanks for all the help on me...

Just put a Holley 800 marine carb on.
Ok. I know some people are going to bash me and that's completely okay. I don't typically follow trends and that's how I get my jollys. My previous carb was holley 600. The vacuums secondaries just didn't seem to be keeping up with my combo so.... I got a 800 cfm Marine carb despite what everyone sa...

Re: Drag strip tomorrow!
Well I will point out my car isn't getting out of the hole like a normal car my eighth mile time is pretty poor. I will also point out I don't have a tach and completely guessing. Also I have a 24 in tire.

Re: Drag strip tomorrow!
Well ran we 14.3 at 95. Kinda of odd that ran a 14.6 at 95 while I missed 2nd gear the other day. Didn't have any issues. Started to shim the secondaries with zip ties and gained. Definitely switching to mechanical secondaries and getting a carb spacer. Kinda let down. I will get though.

Re: Drag strip tomorrow!
I moved the fuel pump to the rear with a 100 micron prefilter. Left the main filter up front, put the white spring in my 4160 and a different pv also. Seems to run a lot better and isn't starving for fuel. Wish me luck!

Re: Drag strip tomorrow!
I'd estimate your power around the 300-330 rwhp range, with good tires (DRs or slicks) on a car as light as these I'd say you'd be close to being in the 12s most likely. Well we are going to try again a second time this evening. I don't have good tires but we are going to try to feather it in to th...

Re: Drag strip tomorrow!
Well bad news. My first pass ever was the only one that the car even made it down the track all the way. Lol I missed 2nd gear and let off the throttle before the finish. I ran 14.6. After that my car would fall on its face in 3rd. Those were all 15-17 second passes at 60 miles an hour. I guess my ...

Re: Drag strip tomorrow!
Definitely got easy 13.x potential. 600DP's can be had pretty cheap since most folks go 650cfm. Give Edelbrock a call or nose around the Inet and try to find flow numbers on the intake. Methinks the current intake and carb are gonna hold it back a mite. The rest is hooking up and driving!! :lol: :D...

Re: Drag strip tomorrow!
Well.... I am going to say 14.23 because of the heat, my holley 4160 isn't the best carb combo, and my tires are only 205s. Well I have also never staged at tree before either. Lol
