With that extra power it might need an adjustment. When you get some data just let me know if you need anything.

Congrats! Nice pics too!
I never got around to showing the finished product since I was thrashing to get the car ready for opening day at Woodburn Drag Strip...
Here it is!!! Finished product! Thanks again for letting me share. This was a lot of work, but fun and rewarding. Hope you guys enjoyed the pics and write-up.

After shorting out a few issues we made it back up to woodburn dragstrip for some test and tune. This is a 10.20 @130.6, 1.42 60' time...had three identical runs down to the thousand decimal places at three different times of day...doesn't get any better than that for an ol bracket car!

Right on the edge. Nice!
Haven't posted in a while....
New motor for 2011 NHRA Div 6 season....
Merlin III block, 4.50 bore.
Scat 4.25 crank, 6.385 rods.
AFR 345 heads, w/CNC combustion chambers.
2.30/1.88
SRP pistons, 13.5:1 CR
Comp SR 272/280 @.050, .748/.710, 110 lsa.
Crower SR lifters
Edel Vic 2807 intake
Pro Sys 1050 dominator.
GZMS vacuum pump.
Got the weight of the car down to approximately 2800 # by adding a TRZ motorsports front suspension with strange DA coilovers and strange pro brakes. Also went to all lexan except front windshield. And fiberglass rear decklid.
Looking for a 9.40 this coming year. Will post up some results.
(I know...I know....this is just a Pro Class bracket car...)
