And it's been a loooong time coming!!! I got back to the track tonight not sure what to expect. The last time i had it out was with the stock heads and cam on drag radials...that time i finally broke out of the 14.20 rut with a 13.89 and got busted for not having a helmet. At the time i was SURE it had 13.50s in it.
Now, i've got the C90E heads, roller rockers and the X303 and did the clutch pack mod on my rear end with used clutches and got it locking up again. I went up for my first pass unsure what would happen so i didn't even put the helmet on. All i want is to run a 13.20 to match my buddy's 355 S10...so i heat'em up and i'm next to a newer S10 that i can't hear so i assume it's a stocker. We launch and i blow the tires to pieces (can't get these things to hook for crap) and this truck leaves me sitting (ended up being an LS1 with nitrous) but i still pound it and go for gold, thinking that it's probably another low 14/high 13 pass. I come around and get my slip and i'm shocked....12.96 @ 106mph and i murdered 1st and 2nd gear.
So now i can't believe i actually scratched 12s, when all i was hoping for was to match my buddy's time. I call him since i can't find him and he doesn't believe me. He sees my slip and is PIIIISSED OFF...lol.
So, i go back for another pass and drop the tires down to 12psi down from 14. This time around i'm next to a really mean looking '69 Camaro...tubbed, 454, open headers etc. I heat'em up better this time and try my damnested to walk'em off the line without spinning but still kill'em and the Camaro gets the jump on me (obviously with 2 foot wide tires) but once we're off i'm on his ass the whole pass and he runs a 12.7 to my 12.83 @ 107mph.
So i'm pretty extatic. I'm fairly certain that with control arms and slicks it'll go low 12s, and that's just plain obsurd for how simple and old school my engine is.
Here's pics of the timeslips...first pass on the left, second pass on the right.

They were pretty packed so i didn't get a third pass.
