26 in. tall tires Drag Radials
4:11 posi trac 10 bolt
83 Z 28 we have lightened it up a bit, I am hopeing to get it down to 3000 with me in it.
I am going to spray a 75 shot of nitrous. Do you think 11.90's are possible on spray?

I ran my car today. No spray though. Just on motor. Just wanted to see what ya'll's guess are ?sorry no prizes for the winner, just great respect. Guess away,

12.58 @ 107.3
bryan ;)

12.65

i will post my times this evening

If you have a bottem end that you can rev Im thinking like 12.45 @ 109mph, but if its just a 5,500rpm motor then maybe 12.90 @ 105.

High 12s low 13`s

13.23 @ 106 umm... no 104

12.70 at 106.

i dont know but i really want to know because im building a 355 too and i know your combination, if its good i might roll with it too

thanks
mike

Okay here are the results in order, Although I might say no one guessed it, I still have respect for everyone for trying. By the way, I am not bull*****ing either.

The first three passes had a air breather on,
the first pass car bogged-NEED A BIGGER STALL
Last pass, float on carb hung (I THINK)-started shooting gass out on my wind shield through back of scoop.
The sixty foot suck cause I had to play with the gas to keep it from bogging down when I got hooked. Everyone though t I was spraying cause the car took off slow, then right after the 60FT would squat, and haul a*ss.I have some more things to fix, but as soon as I get them done I will run 11's on all motor-I PROMISE. I also have to work on my hood scoop, cause the hood is a ram air cowl, I am going to block off the back, plus probablly fix somthing up in order to ram the air to the carb. Air filter was taken off cause their was not enough clearance to put the studd in it to hold it down, hood was holding it down, till the top of cleaner fell off during my third pass, and then off went the breather.
If you want to see my car here is some pics, but they were tooken before my spoiler was put on, BY the way, My car is not RED, it is HUGGER ORANGE with orange pearl, I am trying to get some better pics. The little kid is my brother, and the old guy, is my Dad-with out him none off this would have been possible.
P.S: 268 Xtreme energy needs A stall, More than a 1900-2000
12.197 with a 2.019 60ft, I can already hear the 11's knocking at my door!!!

I also tried to weigh car, scales where like the one in a Doc's office, don't know how reliable
LESS than 2900
More than 2600
Kinnda leveled out around 2700-2750
With out me in the car. I weigh 170, I think I will try to loose about 20 lbs, every little bit helps

You're there if it would hook!!! graemlins/thumbsup.gif

Wow - I'm impressed! Didn't look like you had enough motor for that but I didn't take into account how light your combo is. Keep on it! Get those 11's.

Weight is important, but I think that my motor is matched up well. The heads have good mid range flow, 180 runners-velocity, motor makes great torque. I am running a 1" spacer, with a 1/2" nitrous plate on top of that. I figured that it would probabbly run better without the spacer and plate, since I didn't spray it. But I intend to get my nitrous hooked up and 3000 stall before I go back. I am also fixing to switch to some Weld drag lites. I am really trying to get this thing to run 11. 80's off motor.
