[onebad12]

You just talked me outa building a 331 lol. My car is a heavy full interior '89 Gt with a DSS longrod 308 and AFR 185 heads .228 .550 cam 9.5:1 motor with a C4 and ATI converter 410 gears. I have ran a 6.79 1.54 on a 150 shot with an AFR of 9.5 rich.

You have a bad a** 308. I hope this is a true 1/8 mile pass, Some tracks are short.

To make it work better have a ton of money to have that chassis top shape so it can respond to what you throw at it.

1quik85gt I think you jack your car up so the front tires are 3 foot in the air then climb in a pratice shifting, that has to feel so unnatural. I love watching you run whether its the stang or the fairlane.

I agree edgar on the motor i can run 11.50to11.65 all day but a 1/10 can cost you the win somtimes,when your up against someone with transbrake,delay box etc.I just want to be consistant as much as possible.

In a true 1/8 mile track, matter of fact two of them, breakaway and Cottonwood in Dothan, both are true 1/8 mile tracks.
