Just Jim Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 Made 3 runs at Irwindale's 1/8 mile yesterday. I short shifted it at 5500 until getting more familiar with the car and a new shifter.Best time was a 7.86/85+MPH (12.35 or so 1/4) with a 1.67 60 foot.The small 215/60R14 BFG Drag radials worked better than I thought with the 4.11 Oklahoma Posi (welded spiders).Got kicked off the track for too much smoke. The C4 trans vent is blowing fluid onto the exhaust.Better than the first time out 2 weeks ago when a freeze plug blew watering down part of the end of the track. http://images19.fotki.com/v32/photos/4/42437/4197285/IMG_1509-vi.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bartman Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 Sounds like a pretty good run...especially for the size tires your running. I'm going to have to make it out there one of these days and give it a try myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rudypoochris Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 Sweet! What does your 302 have done to it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Jim Posted October 28, 2006 Author Share Posted October 28, 2006 The motor is a freshened up junkyard refugee, original bore, non roller cam 302 with new rings and bearings on stock pistons/rods,E Bay aluminium heads,240* @.050 solid flat tappet cam,Performer RPM manifold,750 vacuum secondary Holley and 1 5/8 street rod headers. Some of the parts were left-overs from my other cars.With some tuning and higher shift RPM it should run somewhat quicker.It's a fun low buck car.
