Mickey Thompson ET Streets question

So dual 750 cfm carbs are probably a lot for your 383, so maybe you need to lean it out a bit?

 

Been there done that.LOL Used every jet from 78 down. Now I'm going back up now that I'm not fouling plugs. Autolite AR25's kick ***!!

 

Shake, rattle and post the damn videos already, yeah, I'm a slacker.
1/4 of nine last night I was at Fryes trying to get a new firewire card for the computer, up till midnight getting the computer up and running then I worked today, well, 1/2 a day. Anyway, I have some vids that are a little shakey maybe but I haven't used this camera in 3 freakin years, know trying to get them up on the board here so quityur*****in.
Film at 11.
PS: Stop calling me the Eggman, got it Ridge?

 

LMAO! I almost forgot about "ridge"! Ok, I'll try and be patient. Funny that more videos haven't surfaced yet from other people. There were cameras all over the place. I say that and I haven't posted mine either though

Looks good man! Herb was sure putting on a good show! Thanks so much for running all over the place in the heat to video me and everyone else! It was one hot mutha! Good job buddy!

 

Ok, one of two things, either I needed a tripod or another beer,lol some of it was pretty shakey, I'll do better on the next one.

 

I can't wait to give you the chance! I'll be in Ardmore next weekend (wink wink nudge nudge)

 

Brenda and I will be there too, and yes, I'll bring my tripod.

 

AWESOME!!!! I gotta buy a tent!!!

 

Hydraulic roller cams will run out of grunt at 6200- 6500 as the start to float the hydraulic piston in the lifter. Keep the shift points at around 6k and she will sing to ya !!

 

Grits!!!!! Thank You Sir!!! Now I've got something to watch so i actually see how hard I'm launching, John pulling the left front in that one clip NICEEE!!! That car is launching hard and has so much left in it!

 

Dam grits thanks for the youtube. It was a hot mother out there.

 

At 2.05, I think your front left is catching air.

 

Hmmmm...I think you may be right. I remember it felt like it could have when I left. I was really starting to groove towards the end...taching it up more at the line and such. Like I say I'm still very green. Shifts sounded good. Only missed one that weekend...the one that counted

 

wonder which one that was!

 

I know I know, I'll quit crying

 

Great footage! Wish i coulda been there! I didn't realize you were running two 4s, for some reason i was thinking multiple dueces (hence the comment about needle/seat area).

You've got a solid machine there that's only gonna get faster with some good tweaking-cant wait to see what she can do from here.

grits you da man! all we need is more,more,more! thanks for the hard work, sounds like it was a ***** posting that ****! good job! oh yeah.....get a hair cut hippie

 

Thanks Rick! I told Herb tonight I'm going into the 11.70's without a gear change at Reunion next Saturday. That's in the middle of the day too! I can't help myself...I like to make predictions/goals. If all goes swimingly and I can (with Herb's help) change my rear gear ratio it's really going to get interesting. Probably going to jet it up a bit too. Plugs were a light tan and I did plenty of idling.

 

Cool vid ,and your T sounds nice ,plus your shifting sounds very respectable .One question though,whos that fat guy in the white 55 at the end ???

 

dude you don't know who that is!! uhhh i don't either! cool car though!

 

That guy's crazy...I was told to avoid him at all costs. Don't make eye contact...just smile and walk away.

 

That's Roberto you fuggin Okie! a31mofo...funny as hell. Your kinda peeps!

 

well **** the bed!! i didn't know that, like his car though!

 

It did catch air at 205 i seen it .Looks and sounds to me like your shifting into 2nd in the first 60' .That right there will make you 60' time look worse than it is with a stick shift car .Not that it makes your total ET for the 1/4 any different ,but it can make it look like your having a problem that you dont have off the line ,if you go by the time slip.My 60' time is the first thing i look at on the time slip ,then the mph ,lastly the total ET.I dont see anything wrong with the way it leaves ,looks good and handles the shock of the clutch drop well IMO .You say you were launching at 5k ? ...

 

Nice vids. Looked like you spin on the 2-3 p***es I saw, how was the track for everyone else?

 

I was just poking at him a little .I knew it was Robert or a form of him ...

 

5kish lol. I kinda get excited still. I'm gonna keep pushing it harder though. Just got off the phone with Jegs and my gears (4.86) will be here in about 2 weeks!

 

People seemed to be running good. It was pretty sticky considering the heat.
