Took it to the track

The car is built... But the owners (Myself, and a friend) are a little lacking as drivers. It's easily a high tens car with the right driver and tires. It's a rebuilt 351 block with Edlebrock performer heads. TrickFlow upper and lower, a monster of a cam. FRP suspension, SFC's, 31 spline 5-lug and 4 wheel disks. 4.10's in rebuilt 8.8. Powerdyne pushin' 12lbs, and full MSD 6AL. A dry methonal system, as well as a Tremec AOD with a 3500 stall. Dyno before methonal was at 393 rwhp. The list of parts goes on.

It ran 2.2, 2.4 and 2.7 60'. The numbers don't really mean much right now since we can't seem to get any consistancy yet. But plain ol' seat time should solve most of that.

We did manage to brake the car on Saturday night in just two runs. It sounds like a very loose rocker arm, but we pulled the valve covers and didnt find anything wrong. So this weekend we are going to pull the motor and start the breakdown.

Got some pictures though, will get them scanned and on here soon.

The car will be ready to run again soon, the drivers on the other hand are still being built.

On a lighter note, found 4 slicks for $25 each, 3 runs on two of them and 5 on the other two.

FYI, the 7-up's best time of the night was a .230 R/T - 2.286 60' - 9.933 1/8th @ 70.75 - 15.802 @ 81.27 1/4. As Is, speaker box and all.

So, we pulled the motor yesterday and found the number six piston in pieces... no damage to the cylinder wall or head so just need to get a new .030 piston and were back on the track. We're also going to eliminate one of the two methenal jets.
