Jason - I'm waiting for you to try to get that 10.99
QUOTE]

Don't worry.. It's coming

I went retarded and forgot how to launch, couldn't pull better than a 2.1 60ft, however I still managed an 11.35 with that. I just need to get my skills back and it'll be there.. 10.97 is what I think it'll be.. If i had some 4.10's and LCA's, I think it'd help me out a little bit on getting there haha, but i'll make it work with what i've got for now.. The GS-D3's are ****ing awesome out there for traction, not really much of an issue in 2nd.. no barking/chirping in 3rd anymore, even when I powershifted it I love those things

Speaking of 10's, I can't wait to see Daniel's NOVI run out there.. that mother is gonna be BBAADDD after he gets it tuned! MMMMMMMmmmm Novi.. Doesn't get any better than that in the centri world

Thanks,

Thats interesting...that car should run quicker than that (both E.T. and mph) if it had a 347. Do you know it has a 347 for sure

24lb injectors is a bit small, usually "set aside" for h/c/i combos.

Jason - Yeah, if you can get some good track prep like that one day...you'll get on down there I was impressed Matt ran 11.2's. 373's, prochamber, catback, 85mm MAF.

I think your car will really wake up with your new gears. You have to remember that you have stock 2.73's and your going with 4.10's. Also, your car is a convertible so it is heavier. Also, the 347 is low compression and is set up for a power adder. You'll be fine with some gears and juice.

 

[347lxvert]

yea, the 2.73s dont really help that much, it is just aggrivating i guess, i can smoke the crap out of the tires but it takes it forever to wind up on the track with those freaking gears i barely have to shift into 2nd, clay shifted into second when he passed me at the 60 ft mark. cant wait to get the gears in and the juice, oh yea and i am sure it is a 347, the motor originally had a vortec s trim on it, but like a retard i sold it before i ever even ran the motor b/c i thought i was going to put the 347 in a 67 mustang, my how things change so much!!

even with the stock gears you should still not even be close to finishing the 1000 ft. in 1st gear. Were you manually changing the gears?

 

[Cantslowdown]

Guys with the 4.6s have ya'll read the things about us having spark plugs blowing out..Man that scares me cuz right now my car makes ticking sounds...Sounds like the injectors but still cuz they say thats the first sound of a spark plug working its way lose... I hope mine is fine i havent done my tune up yet so.. Might have my work do it for me but then i got to pay them but if anything is worng my worranty will cover it so.. But tmw I am going to let a tec look at it so.. I hope she is fine!!

 

[5spd GT]

Yeah, something ain't right with that...what mph were you running...I forgot.

You got a potent combo though for sure Something is 'amiss with that combo...

So change the plugs and wires ? Not that hard.

 

[347lxvert]

i was manually shifting, i shifted at about 5200, i dont know what was up, i held it to the floor until it got to 5200, i dont know what could be wrong, i finally got the idle half way straightened out, my top speed was 81

 

[Cantslowdown]

I dont have wires i have coils... I was but now reading it all if i have a problem and i changed the plugs my worranty company might not cover it..

What is your timing set at? Fuel pressure? (I would put it somewhere in the mid-40's with a 347 with h/c/i). What kind of plugs and at what gap?

Your running stock 5.0 times...and you and I know its got much more in it

Run autolite 3924's gapped at .045, run timing around 16*, make sure you got correct valve lash (i'm sure it is or it would be running rough)...

Good Luck!

i dont have an adjustable fuel pressure regulator and i am not sure what brian set the timing at, i still have the stock regulator on there, maybe that is part of the problem, i just dont like my car running like crap, i know it has a lot more in it that what it put out yesterday

The stock regulator is set at 39psi with the vaccum line off at warm idle. The computer likes to see 38-40psi ideally...but with 24lbers I would up the pressure to the mid-40's. I don't really think that is the entire reason...weird

Yeah I know it does too...you'll get it man...

 

[347lxvert]

it has low compression so i know it wont keep up with clay all the way, but man he spanked me when we raced yesterday, he just took off like crazy, good job, bub, hopefully i will be able to get er tuned up a little better and we can race again.

Whenever I had that AOD in my car with 4.10's I was in 3rd when i finished. You just need your gears, fuel pressure, nitrous, and timing adjusted and it will run hard.

Oh, well neither one is hard to change. You'll pay some bucks to have someone do it for you though.

 

[Cantslowdown]

The tecs say it sounds great.. They said if i had the problem it would sound like a bad exaust leak and it wouldnt run good.. And I would have bad mpg.. Cuz i get like 140 atank and thats at half with my right foot lol!

Whats up Clay

Whats up Clay

I am glad I got to run my car due to the fact that I have to go back to Florida next week. I really wanted to hook the nitrous up but I guess that will have to wait. Have you decided on a power adder yet?
