69 Valiant dyno numbers, and video

To Rat Patrol:
Here is another name, a friend has on his Cuda for a lis. plate "decon"Took me a minute to figure that one out.....Thanks for the dyno support, yes it is not real world, and one can't go around kicking their chest out bragging about their big H.P.(mines not big for sure)
Here is some info I do agree with, because it is real world. We have 2 different B.B. Dusters at our track, both switched from 727 Grinner tranny's to 'Glides so they could go into the 9's (which they were both knocking on the door at), and they both ran 3/10th's quicker by switching. I have been told by several people, a 727 takes 30 more H.P. at the flywheel to turn, then a 'glide.
With that said, I did not go with a 'glide for this reason. I had the tranny which came in my Daytona, with the JW ultra bell, and 2 converters, so it was cheaper to set the Valiant up with it, then to switch and start over.Other wise I would had went with a
727/Grinner. Because actually, I don't want to go in the 9's (been there done that) Bottom line, it would have cost about $2500.00 more to build this car to be a legal 9 sec. car.Plus the long term costs,even though I still am lis. to go 9's, and have all the clothing etc.
P.S. Where are you in OZ? Been there 4 times, have real good friends in Brisbane area.
