Carolina Dragway

[Chillerman]

Went to Jackson yesterday and ran 1/4 mile for the first time on motor since the C4 & converter went in and also on a 150 shot of juice. The results were the following:

Motor 1.66 60', 7.95 1/8 @ 84.02 mph, 12.68 1/4 @ 102.20 mph
Spray 1.45 60', 7.08 1/8 @ 93.18 mph, 11.38 1/4 @ 112.07 mph

Not too bad for a stock 302. I'm attaching the photobucket video.

Not bad at all. Nice job.

[Mike]

very nice Will.

[chrisheltra]

LOL stock 302..... Congrats

Thats a pretty damn good increase on the gas. Did you shoot it out of the hole?

[Derek]

awsome man! You were the one talking to me at bowman about cage' right?

[Pesce Nero]

man thats a huge increase! very nice

[Chillerman]

I may have spoken to you about it, I'm not sure though, as I did talk to quite a few folks about it. We do have a 10 point in it now.

I got the boot at Carolina yesterday after that run. It was our 3rd nitrous pass. That run came on the last pass. They busted me for not having a 5 point harness. That problem will be resolved this week, as I ordered one today. The previous run was an 11.42, not sure why they didn't say anything then.

I always hit it right from home. And yes it is a stock motor. I know it doesn't seem real, but the car is gutted, 4.30 gears, spool, and a loose converter. It should run real good when we get the Windsor in it.

Thanks everyone for the compliments. It's a blast to drive though.

[Harry]

Ya, That's going to be a hole different world with the windsor in it. We will have to have a windsor shoot out when everybody gets there cars together.

[ForceFed4g63]

Holy crap somebody posted a time!!! Hell must be freezing over...

Congrats on the times by the way lol

[Chillerman]

That sounds good to me. Would love to do it.

I don't mind posting my times. I'm not a grudge racer, and the car runs what it does. I think we have done some pretty amazing things with this car considering how little money we have in it. We race for fun, and sometimes run gamblers when were at Bowman.

I went 8.4 @ 52mph at Bowman on the 27th.

Way to get it done Will.

[Harry]

You must have shut it down right after you took off and coasted.

Good job Will! Those are some awesome times for the setup.

Nice job Will!!!:bigthumb:

[Matts94Z28]

That is awesome!

Carolina is weird like that, depends when you go I guess. I've been there and knocked off low 11's high 10's all day with zero safety equipment, then talked to friends the next day who go to that track often and got booted 2nd pass for running a mid 11?

Car picks up noice on the sauce!

[Derek]

yeah i was chillinn with ashley that night what i was really trying to remember was the cage you told me not to buy.

[Illusions]

Very nice times for the setup. I think your 1/4 mile times are our 1/8th times. ;)

On the topic of cages.

It was probably a competition engineering. They are known to require way more work to get a good fit. The bends are off a great deal sometimes as well.

I'd recommend a wolfe racecraft Link (http://www.wolferacecraft.com/SearchResult.aspx?CategoryID=23) or something along those lines quality wise. Even then you still might have to make some minor adjustment in the fit-up. When it comes to a quality pre-bent kit you get what you pay for. Also depending on what material you use chrome moly/mild steel decides what weld process has to be used. Mig for mild steel/ tig for chrome moly.

Depending on the extent of the cage The best option is to have a reputable chassis shop make the kit custom. There is a guy around here that does great work named Jody swing as well. He did the six-point in my old cobra.

I was having a problem with the car twisting on the launch. It was picking up the left tire real high while the right tire was close to the ground. I put an airbag in the right rear coil spring, problem solved. I'm sure I'll need an anti-roll bar when the windsor goes in. I guess we will be ok for now @ this power level.

I remember talking to you now. It is a competition engineering kit. It's not a bad kit, it requires more mods to fit than what I expected. I did some test fitting myself before I took it to Buddy for the install. He put some major hours in putting this thing in my car. I would have went the custom route, but was out of our budget. I had someone else lined up (a co-worker of mine), and he bailed on me. We were going to do it together, but he didn't feel too good about doing the job. I had already bought the cage, so we were stuck with it. Buddy gave me a fair price and he did a good job for me. If we ever build another car, I will go the custom route next time.

Now you need to update your sig.

Now you need to update your sig.

I need to. That's all for the blue car. As soon as I can figure out how to get the still shot of the wheelie from Rockingham, I'll put it up.
