who has got the fastest/most powerful '70 and up boats?

post your specs times etc!

 

mmmooaaahhaha

18:43 @ 74.20, that must put me in the top 5% of the boats guranteed, right?

New run at July 9, things that will be upgraded by then..

New K&N filter, bought today.
The smaller wider wheels, 15/60/255 instead of 15/75/225
All crap out of the trunk
No girlfriend in the car
Hei installed, should be recurved by then, have the kit.
Rebuilt carb, maybe if there's a chance. I've got the book, but who knows..

I also picked up the strap to hold down the battery and the double throttle return springs today, so the car will be all legal for next run.

 

16.2 @ 85 mph. With a well-tuned 350...can't wait to see what the 455 does (if I ever get it done...)

 

10.10 in the 1/8th, can't remember the MPH. This was with my '74 Estate wagon.

 

keep em coming :Brow: cant post my times yet as i havent got any till i put the motor back together!

 

16.353 @87.55 Full tank of gas and full spare and rookie driver. Since then I've added a posi and a performer intake.

 

That's 11/100ths of a second, can't you just make fifteen runs, and be lucky?

 

I'll bet if you'd take off those 4-note horns, the weight savings would do it...if not, you'll have to get rid of that trunklid chrome. I know a guy who would look after it for you. :Brow:

 

I don't think he would ever let his car part from "the elusive trunk lip moldng"

Things that could go:

1. The subwoofer
2. The four note horns (keep one, so you can say it was still street worthy)
3. Go to the bathroom

 

my car weighs in at 4600 so it will be on a serious diet once the engine is back together!

 

Trunk mouldings are way too heavy...when you take them out, don't waste them....You have my address ! p

 

Do I have the fastest boat with a 350??? Woooo-hoo!!! :Brow: :laugh: :Brow:

 

12:38 123mph, shooting for high 11's

Just kidding...I have no idea because I've never taken it to a track. :laugh:

Maybe I could just post my times between stop lights?

 

4 note

6 pounds is way to much weight to carry down the track, I better hang on to the 4 notes for you. BTY - got the chrome end peices back from the chromer, they are fantastic, had the stainless polished also :Brow:

 

73 GS clone

Car weighs 3800 lbs now, was 4000 with fastest time of 13:21 @ 106.89. 455 with standard valves, 9.8:1 compression, B4B intake, 850 Demon carb, Aeromotive fuel system with -10 supply and -8 return, KB headers, KB 118 cam, Performance Distributors HEI, TA roller rockers, Metco control arms and lower drop mounts, 3" exhaust with Flowmaster 2 chamber mufflers and "H" crossover pipe, with 26" inch Hoosier E-mods and no stall converter. In process of going for goal of 10:90's with new engine, converter, and weight loss from car, and be streetable. Tom Wagner out in PA has a 69 Wildcat that is doing 11:90's at 4,300 lbs I believe, and he drives it to events! :3gears: :Brow:

 

Where's a good spot to weigh your car? You just take the "weigh truck" off ramp on the freeway and fork over 5$?

 

most scrap metal yards have scales. you are weighed before you drop off your junk, then as you leave,a bit of math and they give you a few bucks depending on what scrap you dropped.

 

best thing to do is find somebody with a 4-scale system.

most any circle track will have one in the tech area and pretty much every Late Model or Modified team is either going to have a set or have easy access to a set.

you could try going to a roundy track on race day several hours before the race (scales are usually put away during the week) and asking the tech crew for permission to scale your car. or make friends with a circle track team.

any modern 4 way scale will give you your cross weights, left side bias and percentage F/R as well as total. it should simplify suspension setup a great deal.
