Eric, the 350 heads have been fully ported work and big valves but I'm sure the valves were not back cut, I didn't do these set of heads... I bought them used but they look really good... Your stall should work out good as long as your rear gears is better than stock.. Sean, the vids are on my I-phone, there's about 8 of them I could send you 3 of the best..or less,..to you phone or e-mail... if that works,..I have to learn how to do this stuff... Do I have to download these to you tube first...o No:...lol
Hey Jerrold,I sent the video and pics I took to Sean if its OK for him to post them let him know. Derek
yea. thats fine, but I do have better vids from the track... thanks derek.. i'm gonna try to make a you tube account tonight,,
... 2nd pass in the car.., found out he was shifting before the shift light...sorry, my phone would not zoom on the times.. [video=youtube_share;3mPWNrVOIwU]http://youtu.be/3mPWNrVOIwU[/video]
He tree'd the bird then got beat on top end... Both cars were really late on the tree,,,LOL [video=youtube_share;a54P6YHNv2E]http://youtu.be/a54P6YHNv2E[/video]
The car stalled, forgot to turn fuel pump on,... but if you listen close, you can here the tires bark the 1,2 and 2,3 shift... down the track [video=youtube_share;EOPMOQ70WVc]http://youtu.be/EOPMOQ70WVc[/video]
--- Thanks guy's,... yea Derek,.. also the pass inner tail light does its own thing...more work to be done..
Great stuff! Doesn't sound like you're shifting much past 5500. 5600-5700? Stalling around 2600-2700? (trying to test my ear)
Gary, in the last video he was at 2500 stall and shifts were 5700... rev limiter at 6000,.... shift light set at 5500.. The last 3 runs of the night were very smiliar to the last video when he hit the 102 mph..and I told him to start leaning on the converter at that time... Was spinning the last 3 runs,.. This year I'm going to bump the shift at 6000 and rev limiter at 6200,... and maybe run a 26" tall sticky tire just to get it moving faster off the line...also making frt. suspension adj. too... Hope the Old stock bottom end holds up... ray::Brow: Should be fun this summer..
Cool. Maybe it was the flashing I was hearing that made it sound a little higher than 2500? Nice to know my ear wasn't too far off. Kinda hard to tell in video though, but I guess the sound gets into your blood and you never lose it. (I used to rev the heck out of my stock 350's on a daily basis--which both held up very well) Seems by the launch that stall could stand to be a little higher with better grip for no wheelspin, judging by the way the engine 'felt' by its sound below 3000 RPM. I also 'felt' the engine could have been shifted higher by the way it sounded. It was revving great and sounded like you could get a few hundred more RPM out of it. Sounds like you got it figured out. I'm sure you'll have tons of fun this summer! Bottom end should hold up as long as you don't push it past 6200. :TU: Best wishes. Gary
I tested the car before I put Chan in the drivers seat and new the car would try to creep through the brakes at 2500, it would then flash and lock up at 3300-3400 rpm, the conv. is to tight for this combo.. The car needs to be in a more relaxed position at a higher stall so it can transfer weight better... so a 4000- 4500 conv..too much.., I have to leave it like it is for the drivability for 18 yr old on the street... So we will play with other things to get the better ET,.. I still want to put the 750 holley DP back on after I fix it " milled airhorn DP "... and I might pick up a 800 holley DP thats for sale by my house and try it... Also I just picked up a 2 1/2 Flowmaster H pipe exhaust system with 15" long FM bullet's, LOL.. all for $50.00,.. my son can't wait to hear those,.. thanks again, jerrold,
I think the whole package is doing great as is. With a couple tweaks like you said and you'll be in the 12's I bet. That's pretty quick for a Buick 350 in a full A body car. Good job! We'll all be anxious to hear about how it does in the summer (when it finally gets here). Gary
