Post your 10 second combo
I have a comp cam XE295HL hydraulic flat tappet cam with some old crane cam adjustable iron rockers from the 1980s.
Part of the story is how we got to this place. I was a motorhead in HS and continued in college, started building a BB duster, raced it once in 1982 (12.44 at 110), got married, enlisted in the military and gave up racing. Fast forward 16 years, my son needs something to work on, so he gets a plymouth trailduster with a 318. I convinced him to take it to the track, he gets the racing bug. So we start working on speed for him, very slowly because of lack of funds and I don't want to scare him away or get him hurt. After he moved out on his own, there were times he bought car parts instead of food and went hungry. Over the next few years we improved the times from high 15s to high 13s. Sold the truck, bought the feather duster with a six, put in a mild 360, got into the 12s, a broken windage tray ruined the engine so we swapped to the BB engine left over from my old duster and got into the 11s, put in a stroker kit and are now in the mid 10s. I figure we have improved about 3 tenths per year each year for the last 15 years. For the most part we just TNT so we can get in 9-12 passes on one trip to the track. We are out for the fun and technological challenge of going faster, not so much trying to win rounds. I can win rounds in my 16 sec sedan family car. That is not the goal, the goal is to have fun and build something ourselves that works. The turboed and sprayed guys go faster with cubic $ under high pressure, and the gizmo guys run .005 reaction times dead on their dial in. I can't compete with either. We are just having fun running something we entirely built in a two stall garage ourselves. It works.
The next step will be to sell the 8 3/4 rear and a few other old parts we have to afford a Dana 60 with 3.73 gears to get some MPH back and maybe a nice .650 lift solid cam to get some RPM as well. I already have a super victor intake to match the cam. should go 10 flat at 130 back on the 1/4 mi track. Heck, we might even take off the snubber and have some fun doing a few ET reducing wheelstands.
