318 1/8 time improvement

[TT5.9mag]

Chuckwalla is about the same trip from my az house as it is from my ca house. I'll be there. Hope my buddy and his stepson make it. They have Seriously fast street cars.

Supposed to be some really fast junk there. The car I’m helping on has been in the 3.80s in the 1/8 on a prepped track. Twin turbo Pro Line deal, very serious car.

Update! I ended up swapping in a used 5.9 magnum engine, with a reground camshaft and ported the heads in my backyard! I didn’t have so much time to tune it with carb and timing curve because they were closing the drag strip in a month. But regardless I was pretty happy, was hoping for high 7s but all good.

When I first started, running 9.5 @72mph 2.180 60ft 6.236 330

Now I ran a 8.3 @82Mph 1.876 60 Ft 5.259 330

Congratulations to you!! I enjoyed reading your thread from the beginning. You've embodied the spirit of hotrodding. It brought back many memories of when I started and went like 16.xx in my 69 Charger 383. I slowly got that motor/car to run 13.0's then swapped in a 440 and went 12.50's. Same kind of progression you're doing so keep at it and have fun!!

My friends car is not finished yet, I'm sure (procharged solid block KB hemi, in a promod avenger) but his street car is a turboed ls stroker in a malibu (1200 hp) and his stepson has a mustang that has been low 4s (2000+hp).

I heard about draggy app honestly I live on a boulevard. Its like drag race city on fridays lol

Do you think a 650 or a 750 double pumper would be a better choice. I think just the switch over from a vacuum secondaries Holley 600cfm to a double pumper would help my 60ft.

I don't know what a 750dp would do for 60 ft, but I'd bet it would sure help mph!.(over a 600vs)

I've got the draggy ap on my phone, but I haven't used it yet. How fast IS a 12500lb box truck? Lol.
