Heres some info on my Olds for you then. 11.63 @113 last July in 96 degree heat. Car never got over 185. Made 7 runs. 1.60 tp 1.70 sixty foot; first time on drag radials. Its best mph was 116 a few years back on alot cooler night.
455+.40, E-Brocks, Torker, Lunati HYD cam, stock rods and crank with speed pro forged pistons- all balanced, pump gas 93, 3500 stall, th400, 3.42 gear, all steel except front bumper 69 442 with full restored interior, aluminum and lightweight stuff everywhere, swiss cheese speed holes in everything but car doesnt look cut up and probably weighs 3200 even without me in it. I've owned it since 97. Daily driver for 3 years then I started making it nicer then faster.

Nice ride there Jim Great times as well. I have to get some slicks if I want to come anywhere close to high 11's. My last pass suffered terribly off the line and spun way past the 60' mark. I ran a very high 13 with a trap speed of 103.

OK, here is a time slip from 1998. Not sure why I kept it, my car # was B567 back then.

Nice win there 380racer. Have you heard of www.raceslip.com? Check it out it's kinda neat.

Thanks and nice. Get yourself some M/T drag radials and you'll shave off 3-4 tenths. My Dads 67 GS runs low 13s high 12s on 235-60-15 DRs. He did some suspension upgrades this past winter so we're hopeing to be able to say just high 12s. Tires make a big difference.

I have run a best of 12.50 at 109 with a 1.9 60' in a 72 cutlass with a 2004r and 3.73s. I have an out of the box 780 street avenger on it and hope to get it into the 11s with some better traction and a good tune. I will need plenty of advice to get there so i hope you guys can help.
