Well I have lurked around here for awhile figure it is time to post something and this seems like as good a place as any. I have two A bodies, both 68 Barracudas, both all motor and both deep in the 8's.
First car is a mild steel tube chassis with a 525" B1/MC motor. Car has been 8.0's at 170 but we typically run it on the throttle stop in S/ST and go 10.90 in the high 150's. Car weighs 2900+lbs, is a 4 link strut car with a 33x15 tire. We run it all out once a year at the MATS, but leave the t stop on it. Not really set up to run all out anymore, no gear and tight converter but it does ok.
Engine CID and it's goodies-525" B1/MC, Keith black block, Callies Crank, GRP Rods, CP pistons Jesel T&D yada yada
trans & stall-Powerglide 8" ATI 6400 stall
rear and gear-Dana 60 4.10
suspension and tires- 4Link Strut
Your rides weigt- 2900+
The other one is a Hot Street car. Runs on a True 10.5" tire. 29.5x10.5 to be exact. Tips the scales around 3400lbs now. We have not had a chance to run it at sea level or even get it totally sorted out yet. Powerplant is a motor 499" 99 Hemi with a TH210. We are still working on the car but hope this year to get it sorted out and running well. We have been .40's at 163 up here in Vegas. Best air so far has been 3000' ish. With some work we think it should run teens in good air and high 20's maybe up here. Just need time to get there and a place to race. Still pullling 12 degrees of timing out of it for 1.5 seconds. Best 60' for me has been 1.29.
