Who races their pre-48 HOT ROD?

Time to re-up this post. Who's racing ?

 

12.65@106mph. 2600lb 31coupe with 350/700r 3:89 gear.
Smokin the hides thru third gear(street tires)

Later, Mark

 

didn't make it tonight....will probably hit it next saturday after fixing a couple issues.... pic is from opening night....tried the hurst one last time....wore out hoosiers sent the 60' under the 1.80 mark...lol with the 2.76's

 

Wow, here's a thread from the past.

I bettered that time on the 97's to a 13.21 @102.3. With the 6/71 and a pair of AFB's I've done a best of 12.10 @115.10.

 

Wow that's awesome !!!! Do you have a roll bar ?
I still haven't raced the hemi yet . I'm scared to break it . I need a baffled oil pan , and a rev limiter before I get the balls to launch it. I am sick of waiting.

 

Yeah, but it's just a four point. I do have a rev limiter but I have a plain old pan and no windage tray. Get after it! ;-)

 

Here she is in current race trim.

 

Yeah but thats in metric time..

 

DUDE THAT CAR IS SICK !!!! I am in love man !!!!!!!!!!!!! and very jealous

What compression do ya got ? I have 10:1 don't know if I could put a blower on it.

 

I used some cheap used forged 392 pistons. Due to the 354 having less swept volume the static compression was only around 8.8. With the pulleys on her now she makes just shy of 8# of boost. I use a boost timing retard to deal with street gas but with a load of race gas I don't retard the timing at all. She's a blast!

 

You got a nice ride have fun with it . Maybe I'll get to see ya run some day

 

I ran a 13.7 with 3.36 gears ,open drive rearend on 17 year old 225/60 15s.... that´s why all the smoke...hahhaha



That was last year, but since then I got a set of 10" M/T slicks and a locker diff. I haven´t been in the 1/4 mile since then, only in the 1/8 th mile, and that was a 8,6sec with those long legged gears.On june 21st is a 1/4 mile race in my town, I´m curious what´ll happen

 

Nice photos looks like you had a blast nice rod too

 

re-up the thread..... it's snowing outside. More pics on the strip please

 

I run mine. No times though. I have only been to nostalgia drags with flagged starts
