I've gotta build me one of those SB!

Nice!! graemlins/thumbsup.gif

Gotta love that small block grunt! Congrats Dave! graemlins/thumbsup.gif

I'd love to hear the whole combo.... smile.gif

All right. Not too often a SB gets 10's. Congratulations graemlins/hurray.gif

Congratulations Dave! graemlins/thumbsup.gif

Yep, big congrats to Dave for such impressive times with such a sedate 3600lb combo. graemlins/thumbsup.gif

Dave, looks like the DA was ~1600ft during the 10.98 pass. If you could have hooked on the last pass at 10pm it would have been ~950ft. Look for 10.80's/6.80's when you can run in some mid 50dg air(0ft DA) and hook it. graemlins/beers.gif

Edit: Dave just fyi. Weather at 7pm was 80dg/53dg dew pt/ 29.83 altimeter.

thanks so much guys. heres the particulars on the night.... made 1 full pass, 1 half pass, and a 40' belly flop. spent most of the night chatting with Rafel and John and had a great time. first pass 1.53-60' 6.96 1/8 at 98.52 mph. 10.98 at 121.26. the weather felt to be in the 70* for the pass. theres prabably a 10.80s in the car but only time will tell. next week the anti-roll bar goes on and suspension tuning will begin. aint life great! Dave

:cool:

Congrats graemlins/thumbsup.gif graemlins/hurray.gif

Were thee any changes made which contributed to the 10 second ET, or was it mostly air/track condition related?

nice... :cool:

Todd, it was all weather related. i believe ive pretty much hit the wall on power as far as my tune goes. i may have to jet for colder weather. right now im fighting the traction issues. the concenses is if i can ever get it to absolutly DEAD hook,, it should go a 1.51. Dave

Good job on the 10 second pass.

There you have it......the real "Ratkiller".

Now we have Ratkiller N/A (sheetmetal) and Ratkiller "juiced".

Way to go!! Lookin forward to doing it soon myself!!

Nice! graemlins/thumbsup.gif

What combo is he running?

yeah im also curious the details are on this combo.

Ya, " hit the wall as far as power goes on this tune ". That's one beautiful MF wall Dave!

I seen so many users come here to TC Performance forum and say, " I hear this is where to get bbc advice."

Maybe, but there's quite a few 10 sec rattkillers. My dream is for Mike and Dave to 'propogate' their ratkiller combos for all, so I can read....

" I hear this is where to learn about 10 sec sbc combos....."

come on sbc folks, build some more!

That's a beautiful thing gentlemen!

Dart Little M block with 350 journals. decked to .005 down in the hole. scat 5.7 forged steel crank with 5.7 H rods. internal balance (no mallory). coated bearings. SRP flat tops, coated skirts and tops. this brings my deck height to.0035. .039 preflattened felpro gaskets.

CR works out to 10.77. cranking compresion is 180. comp 294hr cam on a 110 in at 106. 1.6 promagnum on the intake 1.52 on the exaust. crane billet chain. crane stude girdles and crane rollers. +100 comp push rods. super vicor intake ported by myself. holley 950hp carb with 2 open spacers. jetting is 80 front with a 3.5 valve and 88 rear with no valve. vacuum pump pulling 10" vacuum. pro billet dist. timing set at 37*. canton oil pan. mezier electric 55 gallon water pump. mallory 250 pump with a return line. leamons 1.3/4 headers with the header spacers. full 3" exaust with 3" X pipe through straightline large case race mufflers. 8" ATI converter, flashes to 4500. moser 12 bolt, 33 spline axils with 4.10s. ssm bars in the factory location, metco uppers set at 4* pinion angle. moog 5320 6 cylinder springs in the front with koni front shocks set at 1.25 turns. wilwood disk up front with 3.5 bug tires. rear konis are at 1 full turn. air bags at 15 p/s and 8 d/s.

Dave

Bore size?
Stroke length?

Just curious as to why a Dart Little M block and "only" a 383? ;)

Bill, in the beginning i had 3- 350 blocks. it was my guess 1 of them had to be a good block. 2 of them were acutally running engines. i purchased the rotating assymbly before hand assuming i had a usable block (thats why the Dart block has 350 journals). when the thing went to the machine shop i found out i had 1 block that was already .040. 1 was only a 2 bolt block and had the starter holes broke out. and the other machine work started only to find it would not clean up a .030 over. at this point i purchased a dart block. the bore is 4.030 with a 3.750 stroke. the nice thing about the Dart block is theres no core shift and cylinder bores that dont flex, and theres plenty of growing room. Having taken a ride in Johns car im glad i did not opt for more cubes as thats way faster than i care to go. the plan is to sort my combo out and ill be more than happy with what i have. Dave
