Anybody run 9's with a factory heads?

[HOOGENRAAD]

Just curious. I realize they will need a lot of work, but curious as to who is doing it with a factory casting?

check out grumpy's (mellisa's) car sorry...in the alcohol section....their running
135mph with very conservative setup....

Walt Judy just ran 9.6 at the Midwest meet this weekend with iron heads.

I think they have been 144mph on a particular engine that was run in TSM at one time. Maybe DK's car?

Roy Garcia's TSM car ran 9.64 @142mph in TSM competition with his stock cube iron headed 109 motor and then on a later date at an 1/8 mile track the car ran 6.0 @115mph in the 1/8 mile which would equate to a low 9.50- high 9.40 pass @ around 143-144mph in the 1/4.. This motor was sold to a board member on here.

I had a 1.45 60ft 6.39@109mph in the 1/8 which is a 9.99. The track kicked me out for not having sfi pants, and gloves.
My 1/4 times aren't great because of my 60ft but the 134mph is saying 9's.

I have had a horrible time keeping the heads on the block with ARP studs. 4 passes then the over flow starts to fill and bubble. :frown: No special work done to the block or heads I just put them on.

Still running the ECM and A/C 3,600lbs

I'll bet these cars had more than "just" 25lb's of boost...more like 40 unless the cars weighed 2900lb or less.

saying it and RUNNING it are 2 different things :biggrin: .. we got booted for 135.57.. only a 10.15 :redface: oh iron heads work fine

 

[ttypewhite]

I ran 10.20's with iron heads. Could have gone 9's with them after re stalling my converter( was too loose). Billy Anderson hooked me up large with the sweet re stall, but I switched to GN1heads at the same time. 9's is not easy, especailly if your dealing with full weight street cars.

I know Grumpy you're completely right about that but.. I'm damn close, and so are you.

28-30lbs is more likely from what I've seen

Here are two of the baddest iron headed 109 cars in action both from Miami

YouTube - Fast stock block GN running in the 1/8 mile.


YouTube - Orlando's 9 sec iron headed "109" stock block pass.

I have the cage I just bought the neck brace, gloves,& pants. All I need is a 60ft :biggrin: We don't have any tracks around here 1/8 open every Thurs. and a 1/4 that's open once a month and all the ricers get out there with there radials and screw every thing up. I need to move!

 

[Grumpy]

wow... I thought Kali had all sorts of tracks ... summer all the time ..

 

[Razor]

I believe Roy ran a 9.55 on Irons.. and the Me-r/scanmaster

As far as what was done to the heads.. more like what wasnt

Land is to expensive to just build a track on it. :frown: It really sucks Grumpy.

 

[Boost231]

well we have lots of land way out in the middle of nowhere .. groups have tried to get tracks out there .. the locals reply "we don't like those kind of people" these are towns that don't have a damm thing to create tax $$$$.... talk about kicking a gifted horse in the mouth oh well .

This is about it: I life in Orange County I have the time it takes me to get to each track in front of each URL.
