Guys I would really like to run competitively in the heads up races 12 second bracket (and beat a certain 440 Mopar also running 12.4's). I cannot bring myself to sandbag into the 13 sec bracket, but I don't think 12.4's will get me anywhere.
Here's my best ET
R/T_____.606 (usually run 5.50's)
60'_____1.743 (hooked good this run, run 1.80x 60 ft's if I don't hook)
330'____5.072
1/8th___7.887
mph_____86.84
1000'___10.343
1/4_____12.436
mph_____107.57
My combo is a 383 with KB 10.4:1 pistons, Trick Flow Heads, RPM air Gap Man, Comp Cams 275 DEH cam, Summit 1.5 ratio full roller rockers, Holley O-3310 carb (750 cfm vac), 1-3/4" headers, Flow master 2-1/2" exhaust. Car has a TH350 trans with 3000 RPM stall, 3.55 gears, posi, 26" tall BFG drag radials 255 50R 15.
I drive it 65 miles each way to the track and will not trailer it, so any mods have to keep it streetable.
I've already played with jets and springs on the carb and set to optimal. Already played with timing - 33* total is optimal.
I do not have subframe connectors or traction bars yet, my suspension is completely rebuilt but 100% stock. Could these be worth a 1/10th?
I'm running an Accel HEI billetproof distributor with the stock looking coil that comes with it and Accel plugs. Would a true "supercoil" and / or MSD help my ET?
What about weight reductions? I've been running with 1/2 to 3/4 tank of gas. Would 1/4 tank or less help any?
A roller cam may be in my future, but it is too pricy for now. Maybe this winter.
Any other suggestions? Especially chassis ideas, I'm a little weak in this area.
Sorry so long winded, just wanted to get the details in the message. Thank you very much for any advice.
