the car: 67 barracuda. 400 (approx 8.7:1) with .509 purple shaft, 452 heads, torker intake, 600 cfm vac sec holley, TTI 1 3/4 headers, mallory hyfireIV, YL-577HP mech adv unilite (malfunctioning), TF-727 with trans-go TF-2, B&M Holeshot 3000, 3.91gears, 275/50-15 Drag Radials, .920 t-bars, stock rear leafs
it's only a 1/8, but these are the numbers....
(the track goes uphill a LOT) they say you run .1-.15 faster at any other track. this is the first trip for the barracuda, and the first trip to this track for me. the RTs are way slow. I suspect that the suspension is wrapping up, because i went when the last yellow was on....when i started going as it was coming on, i reduced my RT. in the mustang, with traction bars, and going when the last yellow is on, i run a .505-.512 all night

I have no idea what all this would be in the 1/4, on a flatter track, with a better carb, no ignition problems, and with SS springs. the traps are higher than the top of my car sitting at the start line. it's WAAY uphill
