Sadly, my first TTA has not run in years now. I used to run it in the NSCA EFI class. It has been sitting in the garage with a bare Stage II 4.1 into for a long time now. I have started to work on it again and hope to have it running by the end of the summer if I can ever stop playing with my other turbo cars.
The original TTA build up was Ruggles 210/205 cam, big valve fully ported and polished heads, pot matched intake, adjustable push rods, stock rocker arms, stock bore, stock pistions, arp main studs and head studs, port and probed headers, arp rod bolts, 72 pounders, TA63/ptrim, PTE.63 housing, TH dp, 2800 multidisk lockup, built 2004R, bank to bank felpro, MJ 17 row IC, Currie 9", 3.40 gears, ATR exhaust, denny's driveshaft.
The EFI class was an indexed, power to weight factoring. We had to weight 3650 for the 11.75 class. You could run no more than 1 second under your index so 10.75 was the fasted we could go. My car was built to run 10-40's - 10.50's on super kill 30 psi, VP C16 only. We used to run 11.0's @128 with 24/25 psi, 1.7's 60 foot in the EFI class. If you go to close to the index they refactor you and slow you down. I have a picture of the car yanking the front gatorback off the ground, no trans brake, 2800 stall converter.
The converter started taking a dump shortly after that, wonder why
and the intake started leaking oil into number 6 hole so we were done racing for the year. Even with the converter dumping I would put 30 psi on it and it would run 131-132 mph.
I am actually finish up a similar build up on my festival car, it got a lot of the parts off the first car. These cars are a lot of fun.
