Ok, streetlegal night they dont check a thing. thats cause its streetlegal cars, and their slogan is "run what you bring" So they have no techs to look. plus why do you care, i mean a engine is a engine, its not stock, who cares what it is. And if you didnt look at the pictures you could see the oil pan is chevy engine orange, along with the block with white headers. so why you asked what color is the block i dont know. Also big block or small block, ok first off big blocks arent good at high rpms. so if i have a cam thats makes power at high rpms obviously its a small block. Specs, no i wont share them but i will tell you she been bored, stroked, milled, ported, polished, crank swap, cam swap, intake swap, valves, springs, ign system swap, carburation swap, lubrication system upgrade, cooling system improvement.,ect
Do you have something to proove? Maybe you can get Coker to sponsor your death defying fiasco, er, I mean experiment. If you are moving out to the middle of nowhere, You really won't have any "cool guys" you have to be stylin' for and you must have at least some capital you can spend on a second set of high speed wheels and a good set of high speed rated Michelins, and put them on for the gonzo runs and put the WWW fluff-mobile tires back on to go to Sonic Burger on Saturday afternoon. Or if you have to have a "1960's American Avenue Cruiser" looking tire, These slightly lower speed rated tires are even available with a whitewall: http://michelinman.com/catalog/tires/MichelinSymmetry.html?tiretype=0&tire=4 Here's tire speed ratings by the way... http://www.imajeep.com/tirespd.htm
lmao crusing the country sides and relaxing. hell i lived there for 2 years before, and in those 2 years no more than 30 cars went by, the roads are deserted basicly. no one goes out to the area im moving to permently cause theres nothing there. its 30 miles north of a city, and not only that but 3/4 the people that are there runs 10 to 30 miles over the 70 mph speedlimit all the time so if im doing the speedlimit then ill be the one that gets hit more than me hitting someone else.
Ok guys, as a street racer/drag racer, I'm gonna call Bullshit on this guy. BUT!!! Along the same lines, I'm building my '34 5 window to run 125-130 in the quarter, and I'm looking for a skinny front that would be a good compliment to the 10.00-15 Radir whitewalls, that won't kill anyone. Are the Firestones or US Royals Ok? Or am I stuck with a blackwall?
160-190 mph at a drag strip in a 3500 lb car with 520 hp, no roll cage, 10" cheater slicks that don't hook up very well, and you figure you'll be in 4th gear at 180 or so mph, stock rear end........... As I said, disregard all of my questions. HRTH - I run Firestone whitewalls at 118 on my roadster, and they've held up fine,, really track well. Mutt
Now I can't say for sure, what with gearing options and the not-relevant-in-this-guys-world aerodynamics, but if this guy hits 190 in the 1/4, I'm gonna guesstimate an ET of about 7.0-7.teens... Is my math wrong, or is he gaining 90 mph (roughly doubling his speed) in about a half a second? (0-100 in 6.47 seconds) What kind of G's is he feeling with that burst of acceleration???? How does he do it with 550 HP? He must have a hell of a chassis guy!
Ok well im done im gone from this site. apparently people here dont read biasply tires running 0 to 100 mph in 6.47 seconds is fast for biasply considering how much tire spin you will have with 500-520 hp, Then who said i was going to run biasply tires all around thats what im getting slicks for is to improve traction. But since people dont read i guess this site is just like all the others one always have people that acting like know it alls and judge without asking questions.
I love it when bullshit implodes..... I did ask questions. You wouldn't answer them - it's a secret, remember? Mutt
Hey dumbfuck slicks and bias ply are two fucking different things. Biasply are hard compound and have hardly any traction, slicks are soft compound and have traction. So lets see thats why slicks wrinkle and have way more traction than biasply might be same construction as biasply but they are two different worlds.
Are you trying to swallow your ENTIRE foot? Bias ply/radial refers to the orientation of the layers of material during the construction of the carcass of the tire. Has NOTHING to do with the tread compound and/or sidewall stiffness. Slicks ARE bias ply (for the most part... I believe M/T just released 1 or 2 sizes of radial slicks).
Mr. Milner62 sir - old radir classic repop piecrust slicks aren't wrinklewall. You ARE the weakest link - Goodbye! Mutt
you and the other people here are even more fucking stupid than on 348-409/chevytalk/1963chevrolet sites. Lets see i never said the radir repop slics are wrinkle wall, im talking about in general and they do have a repop slick that is a wrinkle wall that m/T puts out directly.
So, fucking stupid people on three OTHER sites have questioned your setup and hoped-for results? You're having a bad run of luck in finding racers as smart as you are, eh? Try www.sesamestreetracers.org - they may be more in your league. We're just novices here. Mutt
LOL- I was thinking the same damn thing! Sorry Milner62- when you're ready to enter the real hot rodding world & not the wet dreams in your imagination, the HAMB will still be here spreading the gospel.
Ok well since i took time from the site to think and cool off after, i went back through all the equations i done and i took into consideration, air drag, weight, rearend, transmission, hp, rpm range, powerband, tires,ect. Top end that i came out to is 164.06 mph @ 6500 rpm thats with a 29 3/4" dia rear tire, thats hooked up to a 4.56 rearend which the tire makes it a 4.1768:1 ratio rearend from the bigger tire. top wpeed came out to 106.49 with a 1:1 high gear for the transmission, but i took into consideration that i have a .75:1 overdrive unit im bolting up so the overdrive unit turns the rearend into a 3.1326:1 rearend and that gives a total of 164.06 mph, in a perfect world with no drag or anything that comes out to 189 mph. Well if anyone is wondering how i came to the different to subtract what i did as a good locating point was take and see what the calculator says the car runs topend at a giving rpm (5000rpm) then subtracted the difference between acctual mph and indicated mph by the calculator, well that was a 19.65 mph difference. 131.65 was what the calculator said the car would run with a 3.08 rearend @ 5000 rpm, well i know for a fact that would be more like 112 mph actual. @ 6500 rpm with a 3.1326 rearend with a 29 3/4 " tire came to 183.71 well since thats not true world speed, i subtracted 19.65 difference from the actual and calcualtor said for stock and got 164.06 mph @ 6500 rpm, so i appoligize for acting like an ass, had alot on my mind from the asshole that supposed to get me a new wiring harness and i have been waiting over 2 weeks now. But the real mph it will run in real world would be in the neighborhood of 165 mph.
lol well anyspeed can be scary depending on if your fraid of fast speed or slow speed, ont know how its possible but i knew a guy that was scared if he was going slower than 50 mph, dont know if thats possible or just a excuse for him to run 70 ina 50 zone. lol
Radials were STANDARD equipment on my car in 1948, when it was introduced. Further, there were NO bias ply available for my car, EVER. From what I have been given to understand, Michelin developed radials before the unpleasantness in the early 1940s. Hence PRE-war, hence PRE-dating your car's 'era'. Which doesn't really matter. What DOES matter is that I am far, far away from your high-speed 'experiment'. Cosmo
Well biasply was still put on my car and many other cars in 1963 and in the 50`s and up till 64 that i know of for sure. Plus im looking at one tire thats rated up to 150 mph and its biasply but im researching it to see if the tire is compatable with the slicks im going with or if i have to change things up.
At the risk of keeping this thread actually going, because of the entertainment it brought me to read all three pages of ramblings, I'd like to throw my 2 cents in about the above comment... If one person is an asshole to you, you may be having a bad day. If two people are assholes to you, you may be having a bad week. If three people are assholes to you, you may be an asshole. Longroof
So this test.....you going to do it at 5:30pm on the Katy Freeway?lol I've been over the 150 mark in a Mustang. Got pretty scary pretty quick. Been up to 165 on a streetbike, was cool to do once, but fuck that. I actually dig the whole living thing. When you get this thing done, lets go put it side by side my '58 Chvy bigback window. I'm slightly over 500hp on the dyno with a "MYSTERY" motor, lol. 4.10s with an auxillery overdrive on the back of a TH400. To even think I'd make it to a sustainable 120mph+ is laughable, and forget about how much fuel that will suck down. I can get to 100 fast, but pretty sure its a bit off from you 6.23941203462 sec time you say you can do. EDIT for getting off topic: Bias plys at those speeds is suicide. Nothing like a little chlorine in the gene pool to clean it up a bit.
are you talking quarter mile with those slicks or are you planning to run the Silver state Classic .. or maybe this for Bonneville. I dont want to be anywhere near you when you are attempting to run those speeds with slicks, let alone bias ply tires... Please explain what car/ motor/ suspension set up you are running
