Best pass yet tonight Gateway.

[Tony Shoaff]

Last pass of the night. Added a few deg., little more launch boost drag radials 1.289 60ft 1/8th 6.065@111.96 1000ft. 7.971 1/4 9.848@136.69. Not to bad for a redneck from Mechanicsburg Il. It has been along road and will only get longer. I can never thank enough of my true friends and family that has made this dream come true. Now its time to add more bars and get my license hopefully in two weeks.

[JC'sGN]

Awsome short time!!

 

[SGRIM]

Man that is great! Excellent 60!!!!!!!!

 

[Tony Shoaff]

That is my best so far. A little timing and boost go along ways with traction

 

[Nick Micale]

....... 1.289 60ft

Dauuum

If you don't mind sharing.........

What suspension mods?

What tires ... and size?

Is the turbo a GTQ? ..... P trim? or what?

Boost?

Tranny and converter?

I am impressed to say the least. Great job!

 

[Tony Shoaff]

Ford 9 inch Upper/lower hotchkis arms. HR Bar the rest is stock.
325/50/15 Hooiser drag radials. 70 p trim 10lbs launch/25 wot.
tranny 350 turbo with a Pats Performance converter.
My 60 ft times are never that quick, but I did some changes with timing and raised the boost @ launch. There is more to come when i get certified and my extra cage installed.

Nice Tony! Has the car always had the 3.90 gear?

 

[Tony Shoaff]

Yes 390 gear. Looking for doors right now. So I can join the TSM class.

 

[HyperV6]

What Tony forgot to mention....

He won the tuner shootout and set Gateways V6 E.T. and mph records again.

Great to see Tony running strong!

Checkout the Midwest section of this board. Bret Kepner will post a complete write up from Tuesday nights action.

Larry Bell was also out running his Corvair with 455 Buick power - 10.90's.

See ya next year, Craig

 

[Tony Shoaff]

Thanks Craig.

 

[KevinB]

Yes 390 gear. Looking for doors right now. So I can join the TSM class.

[Tony Shoaff]

I will see what I can do.

 

[Blazer406]

325/50/15 Hooiser drag radials. 70 p trim 10lbs launch/25 wot.

Sweet.

I have a 70 P trim (4" inlet/3" outlet) I am planning on running with a similar combo.... but my car's race weight is way heavier than yours....I would imagine.

What race weight is your car?

 

[Tony Shoaff]

Take a wild guess first????

 

[Blazer406]

Take a wild guess first????

3300#

Mine is probably 3700+ with a 6' 255# lard @ss driver..... I can't wait to weigh mine....

 

[Tony Shoaff]

You are right on the money. I am adding more bar now so it will end up being around 3400. Still to heavy for no a/c, fiberglass hood, doors and frt/rear bumpers
