Did a few changes to the car over the winter. Hope it picks up a little and I can get my 11 second timeslip! Changes made over the winter:


Prosystems HP950.....was 3310 Holley 750 vac sec
Continental converter 3200........was BTE 3500
port matched the headers
more aggressive timing curve
MT DR's.......was BFG dr's

best of luck! if marquez doesn't take my car for the rotisserie, i'm sure i'll catch you out there (but i'll be a full second slower)!

Change the flowmasters out for some magnaflows you will for shure pick up some ET.

I plan to swap out the flowmasters in the future for sure. Not sure I will pick up much at this power level.

Sweet! I will keep an eye out for your car. Mine is grey with silver stripes. So if you see me come say "whats up"!

Good luck!!! He, He...I get my motor back Friday AM, should be running Friday PM!

Thanks! Good luck with yours!

Every car I have swaped the mufflers out on picked up .2 in the 1/4 mile and two cars had 3in pipes on them.

Thanks...good info!

6D9

You should be in the 11s now!
I magnaflows are a lot better then flowmasters.
Good luck :)

Thanks...I hope so! I really would like to see the mph pick up to 113.5-114 range. That would be great.

You should be able to do that. My 406 combo was close to yours.
what your car weigh ? cam specs ?

You are there buddy....:beers: are in order now :yes: (with traction of course)

Good luck on the 11's! Hope you get good air and you should be there.
Why the converter change (just curious).
We are taking the new racecar to the track for the first time this weekend too, looks like good weather for us :thumbsup:

Chris....my cam is pretty small. Its a solid flat tappet with 274/280 adv...236/242 at .050 and 534/544 lift(1.6's). Lash is set at .016. Not sure what shes tips the scale at. I would guess around 3400 or so.


Doug...Im keeping my fingers crossed!


Sean......I changed the converter becuase my BTE was just to loose at part throttle and freeway cruiseing with the GV engaged. The Continental feels WAY better at part throttle.
Hope it does not lose much coming out of the whole. If need be I will put some more gear in it. I hoping the new converter is more efficent and helps the mph out a bit.

How did it go?

Went good!

First pass...felt like it hooked good and for some reason I was not paying attention to the light at the end of the traps and I think I let of a little bit early. First pass....

12.04 at 113.75 mph...my 60 foot was 1.80

Next pass...

I did a real good burn out and got on the converter a bit more than the first time. Also made sure I stayed in it pass the lights.....

11.89 at 115.03!!!!!......60 foot was 1.72

I am pumped!!!! Needless to say the was last last pass I made since I hit my goal and I wanted to leave on a good note. Plus I drove it to the track thats an hour away. I cant beileve this sucker ran 115! Its got a tiny cam/small headers/flowmasters/ps/and power robbing TH400/9"/GV overdrive. I think next time I am gonna try and get on the converter a bit harder. If that does not work then a bit more rear gear or a small nitrous kit. But I think with the 115 trap some 11.6's should be possible! All in all a great night!

11.89 at 115.03!!!!!......60 foot was 1.72
congrats!
Awesome! Get that sixty down a bit and 11.6s wont be hard.
some magnaflows and 3inch exhaust would help out too.:)

Thanks!

Awesome 6D9 How much is that mean machine putting out..

Im woundering what something like my car will do.
454 Block-Destrooked to a 427
10 to 1
Heads dont know. But they are 427 heads
Comp Cam Solid flat tappet cam 604 lift.. .285 Duration...110 Lobe Separation
Performer intake-850 Holley double pumper.
MSD Ignition
Long Headers
40s Flows/tails
4 Speed muncie with centerforce clutch
12 Bolt with 373 possi....Slaper bars
18x9.5 rear rims with G-Force tires/ No slicks

But im afraid to go down the track....6D9 you got big balls good job.

Here is a pic of the group

Nice rides. Your car looks very well set up. It defiantly looks like the fastest out of your group.

My car would probably be in the high to mid 12s but i know the only way to find out is take to the track.

I don't think i ever had this car pinned threw all the gears yet, shes does get off on some nice burn outs, but haven't yet let her have all of it.

6D9.... Congrats :beers: I knew it would :D

Congrats, that's awesome:thumbsup:Yes better 60 and 11.6 is there! Man I am close to my 11.xx pass.

Very nice!! :thumbsup:

We got rained out last night (yes we actually got rain :D)...I had the motor back in and running in time, but...well I probably wouldn't have raced, but Lonnie wanted to. :(

Thanks guys I am pretty happy. She goes pretty good for a mild combo! I think some 11.6-11.7's should not be to hard. The 1 hour drive up and back was fun as well....just getting out on the open highway is a blast!

Good to hear it went well for you.:hurray:

That is great to see. Mid 11's should not be to hard with that mile an hour:)

Very good running combo! Congrats! :thumbsup:


Seeing as you have the GV, what's the effective gear at the end of the quarter? I'm curious where your rpm is at 'cause it looks like you hit the sweet spot to say the least.

I only use the gearvendor on the freeway for overdrive. I thought about trying 2nd over but it seems to run pretty good just running it thru the regular gears.

Hey 6D9 what gear were you in at the end of the 1/4 mile and what was it tacking.

I really like the fact that you kicked some but out there, awesome 69 camaro to.

Good job 6D9! :thumbsup:

What were your 330 and 1000ft numbers?

Thanks guys!

Lonnie....

330...4.93
1000....9.92

I only use the gearvendor on the freeway for overdrive. I thought about trying 2nd over but it seems to run pretty good just running it thru the regular gears.Then it seems the 3.50's are about the perfect gear for that cam in a 400 based combo. What size M/T DR were you running?

11's is plenty quick to be fun in a street car.

Running 275/50/15's....they are 26x11.5x15's. Wide and short!

Did a few changes to the car over the winter. Hope it picks up a little and I can get my 11 second timeslip! Changes made over the winter:


Prosystems HP950.....was 3310 Holley 750 vac sec
Continental converter 3200........was BTE 3500
port matched the headers
more aggressive timing curve
MT DR's.......was BFG dr's

Im from Team Chevelle, Just checking you guys out a little as we have a Camaro also.

What changes did you make and how did it run before?

Best pass was 12.04 at 112.3 in better air.
1/8 was 7.65 at 89.8

Nicely done!

Good job! It's nice to have an 11 second true street car. With that mph you should be able to see mid 11's for sure. :thumbsup:
Nice looking car by the way!

Thanks Sean...thats what I really wanted. A true street car that I can drive ANYWHERE. I would love to do the Hotrod powertour in it. I had a hard time not going crazy with radical parts but I am glad I didnt. This thing idles at 650rpm with a mild lope to it. Cruises down the freeway like a dream! But there is always that bug that wants to go nuttier...but I will try and keep it under control. Down the road a small nitrous kit would be fun to try and play with the bigger kids on the block!

LOL :D
Small N20 kit.....say about a 150 shot :yes:

I've been looking also :D.... as you say..... just in case.

Keep up the good work :beers:

Doug, we can make your car quicker as is, just meet us at capitol one day or when we come to cecil we will ley you know :D

Our combo in the Camaro is like yours and runs 10.40's with junk in it @ 2,780 pounds - We can get you low 11's i would think :beers:
