![]() Well my best time was 11.1 at 123mph with a 1.5 60ft. I need to ditch my lowering springs because i could not hook at the line, and I need to get my lower intake to match up with my heads. It is off 3/16 on the top and bottom of the ports.
Just from moving my fuel pressure from 36psi to 42 I picked up 3 tenths. I am going to test out some spacers on my intake trying to raise the lower so it will match the ports on the heads, and I will mess with the fuel and timing some more. Once I get all the little things worked out I might upgrade my A-trim to T-trim. ------------------ Blown 347 W/Canfield heads, solid roller cam, track times this spring mid 10's or bust 93lx 5.0 daily driver |

![]() Awesome times for a A-trimmed car, the 10's would be a awesome feeling. If your lower intake doesn't match the heads you need to port the heads to match. I am doing this right now with my Holleys I had about a 1/8"-3/16" lip on the lower lip of the ports, now they are nice and smooth. I just mocked the intake and heads up on the block then used a scribe to mark the heads. How much boost are you seeing with the A-Trim?

![]() The heads already have a stage 2 port job so I don't want to take any more off of them. I am going to fab up some spacers out of 1/8' aluminum to lift it up. I am seeing about 6#'s on the boost gauge.

![]() You still had one of the baddest cars out there Wade. And for what it's worth, your car was the most fun to watch off the line. I loved the sound of it scooting down the track.
Congrats on the prize money and the gift certificate man. You earned it. I hope you get her into the 10's next time. Don't forget you are invited to come back in May. Send me an email for info. ------------------ ICQ# 42269241 Indiana Stangers Association Buy your parts here |

![]() Thanks Kevin, I had a blast. I am going to work on the intake and do some tuning so I should be able to knock off a couple of tenths.
Sorry I didn't give you that ride, but my car filled the block with antifreeze before I could give you one. If they let me I will give you one in May. |

![]() Good job Wade! Sounds like that port match and some more traction should have you in the 10's no prob. Let us know how it works out. Light Em Up!!!

![]() No worries dude. Norm doesn't care if you have passengers so maybe we can try in May and see how she runs.
Sounds like you have a bit of work ahead of you trying to come up with a way to raise the lower up. I gotta see that when it's finished =) ------------------ ICQ# 42269241 Indiana Stangers Association Buy your parts here |

![]() I understand the concern about opening up the heads any more but when you port match them you don't really have to take out a ton of material to get them to work. If you can make the spacer idea work go for it but I would think port matching the heads would be better. With 6# of boost you are turning awesome times, with a T trim and 12# of boost it may put you in the low 10's high 9's!
