I'm not saying it, the NHRA correction factors are.
Bob Cosby was running 109mph and 12.6's back in the day... and several posts regarding stockers on the corral have 108-109 traps on stock long blocks over on the east coast.

I moved from New Brunswick (ran 13.2's consistantly) to Phoenix (had trouble running 13.9's) and lost over 4mph running stock exhaust.

I don't think it's out of line at all.

The 82 trapped 103 and 104 at 12.93, all motor last March. I sprayed one run to a 106. This my carbed, garage built 82 with a C4, etc. With the 4.10's, I am about as fast as I want to spin this motor.

Back when I had just bolt ons I was trapping 103. Now with the valves in the heads the cars uaully around 106...

I have known guys trapping 105+ with untouched long blocks, but the cars were usually lighter, and the guys had more drag oriented set ups!

I don't know why it is so hard for some people to beleive. All it takes is a good running combo and alot of practice.

not sure what is so confusing here. ill go slow lol....

I trap 110 on nitrous

I trap 102 without nitrous

I want to trap 104. is this possible with a cobra intake and 1.7 rockers in addition to my current mods without NITROUS?

why 30lbs injectors?

I trapped 105 with bone stock heads, headers, rockers, injectors, cam, etc....

Could have easily gone 107 or better with just a few track only tricks. (ie. removing front swaybar, lighten up the interior by removing the back seats and such, ice the intake down, etc....)

105 is no problem.

Edit: This was in my 89 coupe, not my Terminator, lol...

25thmustang · Jan 11, 2006

Thats why I said usually... Have to cover everyone out there, as I know there are guys who have been 105 with untouched motors in their daily drivers.

I knew a guy who claimed to have trapped slightly over 100 in his bone stock hatch (car did have an H-pipe).

04Sleeper = I trapped 105 with bone stock heads, headers, rockers, injectors, cam, etc....

Hey, it's all good. I like to get what I can out of what I have.

Don't give away all the secrets Billy. LOL

BTW: I got a pretty good shave too.......

Been a long time since I posted over here. Anyway, just to be accurate, what I claim as my best trap speed with the stock longblock is below:

I did have one run in which I went 108.32 mph, but if you look at the car in the other lane, his mph was EXACTLY the same, and I didn't normally gain 24 mph in the backhalf, so I don't claim this one:

I suspect a computer/timing light glitch.

Besides....ET rules and mph drools.

04sleeper · Jan 15, 2006

Nice runs there Bob.

BTW, Nice Hog!

Bob can you list the mods? 1.6 60fts on a stock long block is rediculous!

I would kill to get short times like that.

Daniel50 · Jan 15, 2006

What kind of numbers did you put down? We have similar mods, and I know I could have put down more hp & tq if I would have had a chance to tune my car. I was running very rich with stock 19lb injectors and a wet kit.

Bob Cosby · Jan 15, 2006

Complete list of mods, in chronological order, can be found HERE.

At the time of that run, I was using stock control arms, springs, shocks, and struts. Chassis mods consisted of removed front swaybar, air bag in passenger side spring, rear-mounted trunk, and 26x8 Goodyear slicks.

The best thing you can do is get some good tires and un-bolt the sway bar, etc. and most of all know how to drive the car. I know way to many people who think that hp is everything and not a single damn one of them knows how to drive a car at the track. They get out of the groove, none know how to launch off a line...i've known cars thats ran .3 better with a really good driver.
