NOS,SLICKS, No Third Gear :)

88workcar · 10-31-2002, 07:19 AM

Being the dedicated racer that I am, I went to the track last night without third gear. It will be in today or Friday. I brought the slicks and was thinking well I'll just do some hole shots and see if all the rearend work that I have done has paid off. I launched at 5000 and pulled a 1.614 60ft Shifted 2nd, skiped 3rd and went to 4th. 13.051 @ 106mph. Me and my padnas were so excited that I decided to do it with the NOS. We were all shocked!
All 4000rpm lanches
2 1.602 60ft 12.416@ 111.32
3 1.601 60ft 12.541@ 111.12
4 1.587 60ft 12.222@ 111.58
Aside from the shock of running that good with no 3rd, all the welding torque boxes and new bushings, and rebuilding the trac loc definetly helped the 60ft improve.

Your the man!!!

Those are awesome times for no 3rd gear.

I think you even beat me out for dedication

hey was it expensive to rebuilt the trac lock and wa it hard to do also do you still have the stock control arms

88workcar · 10-31-2002, 07:48 PM

302 crew, $100.00. No, it is easy. Yes stock, but boxed. The third came in today, but we are going 4 wheeler riding this weekend, so it will be done next week.

I love reading your posts Jason
always get a chuckle out of them

those are some good 60 footers, glad you got the rear end set up
did you change the pinion angle or just leave it stock?

good 1/4 too considering no third gear

It shows u how much a good launch has to do with a quick run!

The pinion angle is stock. I do plan on changing it. I went to the track tonight to buy fuel for the banshee for the weekend. Every one wanted me to run. I was laughing so were they, but I had to get ready for a 5:00am departure to the sand dunes.

Sweet 1/4 and 60ft-times Jason!
