track tested friends 347...

[90dpscoupe]

And being he just got it out of the shop, we were trying to work out some bugs, see what it was gonna do without nos, his old setup: 85 coupe, lowered, a wild camshaft 540 lift, 302 ported stock heads, 650 carb, victor jr. intk, msd, 4.10's welds, 26x10.5 e.t.s. 150 plate shot.

current setup: same induction and longtube headers, stock block stroked 347, steel crank, flycut froged pistons, same cam, stage 3 fully ported trick flow heads. first run he smoked the tires trough 1st and 2nd and went 13.0, we knew that would improve, second run it was bogging in higher rpms ?? we let it cool, and added some vp 104, and the guys sprayed some glue down lol, "vht" and he wasnt ready for it to hook like crazy so he bogged the motor, but went 12.5 at 111 mph, with a hot motor and no powershifting he ran again, last with his best 12.3 112, 1.7 60' brought the wheels up a bit.

a lot of good competion out there, he let me drive it but i just took it easy, boy i want one!

With nos he should be well into the low 11's, im beggining to like these carb setups, there was a twin turbo vette running 12's, also a ferrari 360 modello, i got a pic of it, but it was dark, he couldnt break out of the 13's, he babied it to 13.2, also a viper gts that got smoked by the tt vette, viper= 12.3 @ 119, dont remember the vette time, around 12.0-1, i would have loved to see my friend spray on all those fancy sports cars, of course he probaly would'nt of had to but never ran any of them, that ferrari was killer looking, and on the inside, phew! 150k $$

sorry about the long post, just wanted to share my friends setup, in case anyone on here is going carb, or has any question on how it would perform, or what to expect.

And additonally, this coupe still blows cold ac
