Guess ET for 318 ? With slicks ???

Well I just bought a set of drag radials and will be going back to the track this week.
I raced twice with just street tires and 4.56 gears and it was in the 14.30's to 14.40's coming off the line really easy.
It went 94 mph and i shifted at 6000 rpms.

I think it's got what it takes to be a very good bracket car.
On my first elimination run, taking it really easy-- but also trying to duplicate my time trial,the car went a 14.414 on a 14.41 dial in.
Four thousands off my dial.
Without any slicks on the car ,it was just plain luck.

I did not care for the spool too much so i changed my gears today with a new center section with 3.91's in a 741 case with a sure grip.

It will most likely go the same mph.
The 456 gears did not slow me down but i think the car will go just as fast with the 3.91's.

This is the same gear my 7 1/4 rear end had and it went 94 miph.

I have a three inch exhaust system now and a proform 750 race carb.
BUT>>>>> i had to put on my old --non clutch --fan to keep it cool and i think it evened out.
I ran it before with a clutch fan and a 2 1/2 inch exhaust system.

I pulled my air cleaner for a run and it went no faster at all.
My 318 has everything it needs now to start being tuned in.

I traded my 2.94's for the 3.91's so i won't really know how fast it would have gone tuned in.

I think the car after all this work will be a 14.10 to a 13.80 car.
I am not sure though.
If i can get more mph out of her ,she might be around where i thought she could go before.13.50's.
It seems like a big number from where the car is right now but we will see.

My short times where in the 2.10 to 2.20 area.
I should be in the 1.9's with the drag radials.

Cheers to the 318.:burnout:
