Right on...I hear ya. That's some good trap speed for a high mileage engine. Yes, mine is a '90GT. I've got it down to around 3,000 pounds...maybe a little lighter. The scale at the local track seems to be off some lately. I rebuilt my motor about 4 years ago...but it only has around 20K on it now. I drove it on a daily basis only for the first 6 months. Now it's just on the weekends. If I could do it all over I would go with AFR heads and get the intake ported...and a better cam. I know there is better technology out there now than the alphabet cams...but my combo still does pretty good for what it is. I wished I wouldn't have skimped out and went ahead and got things ported during the rebuild...but you know how it goes. I had to draw the line somewhere in the $$$ department. The last couple of times I went to the track though...my trap speed was down 2 or 3mph. I don't know if it was the weather(some wind and humid one of the times), my slicks that are getting old, or my motor somehow getting a tad tired from the nitrous runs. But I've only ran like 3 or 4 bottles through the new motor...and it was built to handle the juice. Who knows. Happy draggin!
thanx for the props, my trap is not bad for the gearing and shorty header, and iron heads, but the car is still light at 3100 lbs...i assume you have a gt? that trap speed of yours sounds about right for your combo(those are the heads i wanted
) but im stuck with a budget built high miler
take it easy....
