Hey guys, I'm so proud of my baby. 15.05 at 91 MPH. 2.0 Hook time with a stock clutch and Nitto 555Rs. My mods include a 600cfm edelbrock on a racing beat mani. Racing beat header with no cat and a bypass pipe out the side after the road race collector. It's an 84 gslse with the original stock 6-port non-ported motor pushing 195000 miles. I also have MSD with direct fire on the leading plugs. It was also 90 degrees outside. Is this impressive, or normal. I have the timeslip to prove it!!!

 

id say slow considering the mods.

 

Not bad for 195000 miles.

 

i'd say pretty good, but i'd get it ported.

 

nice time!

 

I wouldn't.

 

It's runnin quite rich. Should I risk leaning it out with the mileage. Its a drag only car. I run in a bracket league. I only shift at 7500 rpm.

 

timeslip

 

Lean it out a little and find out what happens. Not too much though. I bet you could get 14.8 out of it if you do that.

BTW, what was the car you were running against?

 

i think its a pretty good time

 

i pulled a faster 1/8th time on shitty tires and the stock carb with a 2.230 60ft (but it was an 1/8th track...so i have no idea what my car runs in the 1/4)

also my 1/8th trap speed was 72.33

 

That makes me sad. I only have exhaust and the emissions removed. I was hoping for 16s, but you with a carb and MSD and **** makes me think I'll barely get 17s.

 

Thats exactly what my car ran in the 1/8th so I would say good time. It all depends on weather and track. I have a 600cfm on an 86 6-port with all the same mods. I think it can definitley get faster, but takes some tuning and some guts.

 

Misthael, your car will run AT LEAST 16.5 in the quarter. A stock 7 is capable of more than you think. Most will run under 17 sec., unless its a very high mileage car with bad tuning.

 

what about mine I mean I was told like a 14 maybe

 

Yapa, I think your car is capable of low 14's. I would be willing to bet that your carb is choking the engine at higher rpm's though. A mikuni with 40 MM barrels is probably barely enough for a streetport 13B. I would bet that if you upgraded to a weber 48 dcoe or similar Mikuni or Dellorto car you could get another 10 HP, mabey more.

RB suggests their modded 51 IDA Weber for a streeport 13B, so IMO a 40 PHH Mikuni is a little small.

 

the car i was running against was an old turbo-ed rabbit that blew an intercooler pipe halfway down the. track He runs high 13's normally

 

That's a good trap speed - the true measure of how fast your car is.

 

yeah.. pretty boy web should know!

btw.. your reaction time is .3?!?! that's mighty PRO status

 

i must of missed it.. but is it a 12a or 13b?

 

13b 6 port. Not ported either.
Hate to say it, but we run on a .000 tree when we do test & tune, so .3 sucks *****. I'm usually in the .010- .080 range, which is eight hundredths off of perfect. My throttle cable was sticking that night, so I wasnt really paying attention to the RT. Thanks anyway

 

Oh, and elevation was 1500 feet

 

Someone told me if your elevation is higher your carb runs better on smaller jets. Is this true. I'm running #60 primaries on a RB Holley 600 w/13B streetported 4 port and a 90 rotating assy. Pulls real hard..

 

makes sense.. less oxygen/so use less fuel

 

I dont think the timeslip is bad at all!Much better than when i did my test run..

I did a 17.4.It was @ 5700 feet above sea level,with the carb not tuned,and a bad fuel pump.

You time would be : 14.80 @ 97.4 If the run was at sea level

Congrats!
