Island Dragway Tomorrow, Guess My Times

[buickrob]

Just got the tubular lower arms on today and a test pipe. Racing tomorrow at Island in north Jersey, single lane Wednesday racing for $15 Haven't been in years and have added a lot to the car. Running 26PSI with no knock and plenty o alky, wanna guess my times?

That 2800 stall converter is killing my launch, I won't be able to build boost at the line before the green light hits. Pulls crazy hard after that though compared to the old combo. My guess is good MPH but bad 60'. Really need a line loc too.

It rained pretty heavy this morning so hopefully it dries up and doesn't rain again.

depending on the elevation of the track,temp,and your 60's i say 11.80-12.10

Oh much worse than that guys

12.85 @ 114 1/4

2.26 60'
8.56 @ 90.5 1/8

Tires didn't spin left with about 2psi. It was pretty much dog, dog, dog, dog WHAM. My dad was in the stands and said it got to about 40' out real and then you could see it squat down and take off. That is what it felt like in the car too, just didn't make boost low and then when it did it was flyin'. I saw 1.9 degrees of knock in one frame towards the end of a run but that was it. 02's were good. Maybe I should lean it out a bit out of the hole but I'm pretty sure this is all converter based.

Real happy with the MPH though.
