Longtubes Finally Installed - Video

[LS-what?]

If i make it in the tens, it will be one of the coolest things ever. Iv been waiting so long to make a good pass in this thing, and it seems stuff just keeps going wrong. Tens have been my goal since i built the car and iv yet to accomplish that. Iv been soooooo close 11.20 is real damn close, but not close enough. Im hoping sometime this week i can meet and maybe exceed my goals.

PS: Check out my new teaser video of my new combo, just me messing around at my shop with the new setup.

Dude my combo is alot milder than yours and I plan to go high tens on motor on my breakin passes. Depending on converter if you hook and leave on the brake you should go 10.40-10.60 easy.

Later

Good Luck

There is alot of things that i have to work out of the car, still testing and tuning it. I made some passes tonight, fastest of the night was an 11.04 @ 122 and they shut me down because I didnt have a fire jacket. I had to make 1/8 mile passes the rest of the night. I think the suspension is all wrong but we will see.

Whats the pinion angle set at?

 

[LS-what?]

Dude to be honest our combo is almost identical except I have alittle more comp bigger carb and 1 7/8 longtubes but I'm also in a coupe. So trust me there's more in this combo and we both could benefit from a super vic and a bigger carb (in your case)....

That's one thing i never checked before i went to the track...

 

[blackened88lx]

You should definitely set the pinion angle! What's it have for bushings? Solids?

Everything is solid. I know i should have set the angle but iv been in a rush to get it to the track and didnt have time. That could be why the car wont 60' like i want and why it aint hooking off the line.

 

[blackened88lx]

Definitely could be part of the problem. I would get that dialed in.

 

[bentley429]

Yea get the angle set, should make a world of difference.
