N/A 10's????

~The Jester~ · 10-08-2005, 11:45 PM

Going for the Naturally Aspirated 10's tomorrow (well, actually TODAY)

Me and Chuck Nuytten say we can do it, but we'll see!

Keep your fingers crossed for me guys, I'll let you all know what happens!

82 GT · 10-09-2005, 10:15 PM

Well...the suspense is KILLING me!!! Did it happen??
<sniff...sniff> I'm sniffing but can't telll if I smell N/A 10's or not....
I think my nose must be clogged

~The Jester~ · 10-10-2005, 06:52 AM

Nope! Missed it again. Had a few minor problems with the car, mainly timing. Anyways, best run of the day:

60' 1.49 (Woo Hoo!)
330' 4.553
660' 7.066 @ 98.38
1320' 11.06 @ 121.82

82 GT · 10-10-2005, 07:14 AM

Man...that sucks!! I bet you can almost taste the 10's...huh?
Is there an extra 100lbs you can find somewhere to remove?
That would be enough to put you over the top....

Sure! The factory power seats, power windows, power door locks, 2 amp stereo system, back seat, carpeting, etc etc etc. hehehehehe

82 GT · 10-10-2005, 09:34 AM

Well...get that sheeeet out of there!
Get rid of those HEAVY factory seats and buy two plastic racing seats from Summit. Then, find some doors with manual windows and locks. There ya go.....10's!!
I was gonna say get rid of the tunes but that would just be plain cruel....LOL

82 GT · 10-10-2005, 09:36 AM

Wait...you still have the back seats!!
What...you planning on taking chicks to the drive-in to get your groove on....LOL

fiveohpatrol · 10-15-2005, 05:58 PM

wow, you're gettin close! Mind if I ask the combo? Also, what's it weigh?

I'm gonna go for broke (or 10's) in a couple weekends in mine. All I need is something less than the 85degree's and 90+% humidity that I'm used to racing in, and I should be set!

good luck,

-Drew

Right off the track at Norwalk, she weighed 3270.

I don't mind at all dude, I got nuttin to hide.

BASICS:
347 Stroker, all FRPP stuff.
Canfield heads
Cam Motion Cam
Victor Jr. intake
Holley 750 DP carb
Little "pee pee" headers with 2.5" exhaust.
Minor suspension mods.
Stock Explorer 31 spline limited slip diff
Strange axles.

That's about it! If you want more specific specs, all ya gotta do is ask!

I gotta date with a "10" on Friday the 21st at Norwalk!

I can smell it.....

82 GT · 10-16-2005, 12:55 AM

Bill, what are your cam specs?

Now why did ya have to go and pick the ONLY thing I keep hush hush? hehehehehe Let's just say it's BIG.

fiveohpatrol · 10-16-2005, 07:51 AM

hoefully bigger than the "custom" one cam motion did for me. I supposed I shouldn't have told em it was somewhat of a street car, they made it too damn mild 230/234, .558/.565. I switched to an AFM N-91 and picked up over 2 tenths and 2mph with zero tuning on it!

From the looks of your launch in the sig, you might wanna look into an anti-roll bar to come out of the hole a little more efficiently.

good luck!

Yeah, I know what you mean there! That's how I ended up with my 274XE cam in my 351w. I think once you mention the word "street car", to a cam company, they instantly go into "mild" mode.
I must admit though, this XE cam has TONS of low-mid range torque.
My next cam is going to be a solid cam.

Jester-
What timing issues did you have?

I'm still running a stock Duraspark distributor, and when you wind 'em up to 8,000 RPM they throw TONS of timing in. Vacuum is locked out, but the mechanical advance is getting weaker. Had 16* initial timing, and at 3,000 RPM the distributor was adding 54*!!!

So, needless to say, 60* total timing makes for a poor running engine.

Still haven't figured out what I'm going to do, but it looks like I'm gonna have to bite the bullet and buy an MSD distributor. Don't wanna, love my duraspark, but it's lookin like I have to move on.

Just find a shop that can recurve it for you. If you cant find anyone locally, let me know.

Thought of that too. Found a shop that can do it for me, but not before our track rental (Norwalk) this Friday.

I was thinking 32*-35* total, what's your input?
