went to a night run and ran a 12.17 at 111
1/8th mile7.785@90mph
60' was 1.85 ,I had to ease it out of the hole to keep from spinning
this is with a 454 with 781 heads.It should run a little faster when I get the car tuned.

Nice!!! :thumbsup:
What cam/ What gear?

Good run. What are the engine specs?

4.10 gear th 400 3500 stall. comp. 9.5 to 1 or close to. erson cam 630 solid roller .performer rpm intake with 850 quick fuel carb. I was running 87 octane fuel.my timing marks are off so I dont know what the timing was or is. I just set it by ear and ran it.2.19 valves 1.88.no porting

I think I like solid rollers!

I should have weighed the car but it was 1:00 am so I just wanted to load the car because it runs too hot all the time,I have to figure out the overheating issue before I can run it too much more.

Nice car. Is that your crew chief in the car? lol. good times.

yep, one of them

Congrats on the low 12's!!!

My son took my old 454(10.5-1) to the track Friday night, 80 Malibu, 3.50 gears, th350 and my old 10" ATI,small Lunati solid cam (548-556? 230-239@.050), 049 heads,air gap, 2" headers, QF 850 carb, ran 12.01,12.05,12.00@110-111mph w/1.75-1.76 60fts then sprayed it (125 shot) to 11.02 and 10.84 on M/T drag radials.

i'd get that timing checked out, you might get two birds with one stone right there. it might solve your heat issues and get that thing into the 11's where it belongs. ;)

thanks for the input. i need to get the timing sorted out and set the valves and try it again. I dont really know my exact compression but I am not sure if I would hear it pinging or detonating or not but I may put a couple gallons of race gas in just to be safe. but I would rather just run the 87 octane because of the price of race fuel now.
