If the weather holds i'll be going back for some 7.2s @ 96-97 mph hopefully, my last outing i pilled it 55N/63F, lifting momentarily it went 7.54 @ 94 on a 1.75 60ft., i threw away a solid 7.4 pass, plus i could have gotten into it sooner for a better 60ft. i'm sure, this is on pump 91 & 30* timing/stock plugs, i'm installing 1 heat range colder plug, i'll narrow up the gap, drop in a mix of 105, then install the 63N 71F pills & cross my fingers the tires hold & nothing breaks of coarse, my real goal is 7.0s @ 98 in this mild 360, now i'm only shifting at 5100, i'm sure i'll surprize a few 8).

I drive 100 miles round trip for these outings.
 
best of luck to you Joe. I hope it does not rain you out though because it is raining cats and dogs here right now. I hope to take my car there next Friday night. so if you show up don't blow my doors off to bad please lol.Mopar65:cheers:
 
That's a fat nitrous tune up.

Why not try monte's suggestion?

Good luck with it. I loved running juice on my cars and soon will be again!
 
Good luck man.

The only thing I didn't like about running nitrous was that you never get any credit for running a good number on the bottle. Everyone's like "oh well, you're spraying it." as if you can magically run any number you choose just because you've got a nitrous kit.
 
Thanks guys, i was wondering if anyone was going to respond lol, Cracked, i know i'm on the fat end, but it runs VERY good like this, doesn't cough black smoke or miss a lick, just pulls like a MF, i even fattened up the carb to a 72 primary jet too, thats fat for a 650dp, i went back to a 70/76 like i had it, I'm installing a colder plug (1 heat range), i could pill it 63N, 55F, or even 61N, 55F instead of 63N, 71F. I gained a solid 10 MPH in the 1/8 with 55N, 63F.

Steve, yeah i know what you mean, but most guys anymore have power adders, I know its nice seeing cars on the bottle, Last week (before i ran a nitrous run) i had 2 guys comes chat with me & were very impressed with the car, even running crappy 8.2s.

Bobby, Don't think my little 360s going to tear up your car, but it'll get your attention i'm sure lol, i hope to see you next week, thats the "Street machine" shootout, i'm going Fri. night, or Sat if fridays rained out, i was going to enter in the "mean street" class, but i don't think i'll pass tech for the 7.0 index (no rollbar), so i'm going as a spectator, i'll be looking for you, are you racing your car??

well crap looks like i might not be racing my car then ether.I do not have a roll bar in my car. so is the track finally teching cars like they should be? I ask this because last year when i went to the track which was only one time. the track tech guy walked up to me as i just got my car unloaded. took my tech card and put my number on the windshield of my car and said have a great time.but if i go i should be able to get one or two passes before they kick me off the track lol what kind of rules do the mean street class have? i mean can you run with out mufflers etc? Joe if i do decide to go i will pm you. I don't know if you have seen a pic of my new engine but here it is.I hope to run some mid to low ten second passes. thanks and sorry for high jacking your post.thanks Bobby8)
 
Bobby, i would still come anyways, there opening the gates at 8:00 am for Fri., open racing from 1:00 pm too 5:00 pm, 1st. round of qualifing at 7:00 pm, even if you get a couple passes in, you'll still have fun watching the event if all else fails, its the big event with the Nitrous cars, Pro Mods, Jet car, True 10.5 & True street, Plus Scott Palmer will run his Top Fuel Dragster, its a hell of a show, The guys that own the track now are Neil Chance & the gang from Neil Chance Converters, You can always make 1/8 mile pass, Now if your running slicks, you "cannot" run the 1/4 mile, only the 1000ft. or 1/8 just in case you didn't know, i would really like to see the car run & BS, here is a link to the event.

wow that is cool that somebody famous bought the track. Did they own it last year? because last year they let us run the 1/4 with slicks etc. but if i go next Friday i will be using M/T 275/60/15 ET street radials. also for got i will have to see hoe much money i have left over from mmw Saturday. so if i dont make it next Friday i will be shooting for the 24th. best of luck to you to night joe if you go to the track.thanks Bobby8)
 
All didn't go well last friday night, i changed plugs to what i "thought" was 1 step colder (3924 to a 3923), shouldn't have listened to the dickhead at O'Reilly's, come to find out its 3 steps colder, the car ran like **** NA, couldn't figure it out, so i only made 1 pass & called it quits, I need to find a plug thats 1 step colder then a 3924 Autolite.

Why do you need one step colder than the 3924 Autolite? Are you hitting it with more than 200?

No, maybe the 150 pills 63N, 71F, I installed a fresh set of 3924s & the cars back on track 8), I don't think i'll change plugs with even the 150 shot, they seem to be holding up very well as is, i'll just run alittle 110 & take out timing. Like before, when i hit it with the 55N, 63F pills it was specacular on how it felt, & to boot i jetted the carb up with 72/76 jets, it was on the fat side & still made a very clean run, i knew it was overkill but it didn't miss a lick, now i've jetted back to 69/74, about 6% richer then factory, I think my 60fts are back on track too, i'll bet with a few runs it should go a 7.3 @ 95 with the smaller pills & still run on pump gas if i wanted, thats with the timing at 30*. The air is getting much better now around here, falls starting to settle in.
