carolina today

[BAD BOB]

took the ole RCF to carolina today and ran in the bracket race, which i sucked at like usual, but once most the racing was done i got to take it down the 1/4. did pretty good other than the first one i shifted to neutral which didnt work out well and hit 9k. but on the second pass everything worked well but i didnt get to hold it trough bc of the 373 in the rear. i managed to get a 10.03 out of it and man does that feel different on the big end when you got to stop. hope to take it there again and try for a little faster

So close to the 9's you can taste it.:bigthumb:

[RobertHolton1]

itll go 9s when you hold it through... good pass man!

[Matts94Z28]

Nice. I passed you on 78 and thought you broke something on Dorchester originally.

It should really ride out with your 88mm. lol

[BAD BOB]

yeah the bigger turbo should help and if i go down on the gear it should help make it through but may slow it down in the 1/8th. dont know how much more i can get out of it with 93 pump gas. i guess i will see

[1998ta__1991rs]

that stock motor isnt going to like the 88 though the 1/4, byebye pistons

[BAD BOB]

just tryin to get the most out of it for now

[ElecTech]

Need a 3.42 - 3.55 gear in it on the 1/4 mile. You can get away with a much taller gear on a FI car. The big torque should pull through if the converter is right.

I have a 3.73 in the 8.8 that is going in the Jimmy, but I may switch it to a 3.55 if I stay with a 26" tire.

[minytrker]

That's almost the exact time I ran with 4.30's when I was came only with a lot of nitrous. I had to let out at the 1,000ft marker because my tach was pegged out, went a 10.003.

[BAD BOB]

yeah i got some 3.55s that i might try but worried it may try and push throught the converter. i guess it wont hurt to try anyways just as long as it dont hurt the 1/8thmile too bad. might make it into the 9s someday

[1iron]

700 ci should run in the 9's don't ya think>

[BAD BOB]

I think that 700ci theory may be flawed.

I wonder what the fastest shortblock time is..

[1998ta__1991rs]

I wonder what the fastest shortblock time is..

a stock 5.3 has gone 7's, dont start that ls1tech crap

[98nbmz]

a stock 5.3 has gone 7's, dont start that ls1tech crap

I guess its the fastest flat black, notch back, ls powered, stock shortblock, mustang in the world! And yours is just a peice of dried up dog poop!

[BAD BOB]

a stock 5.3 has gone 7's, dont start that ls1tech crap

i just cant grasp that. i guess someone can say it has happened but unless i see it i dont believe it. with what i have seen capable with mine i just dont see that much more left in a smaller motor.

Never even see a shortblock run..hand crank...hahahah sorry had too lol.


umm,... <--I've watched a stock 5.3L truck motor run 5.60's w/a B/W S480.

[Darryl Buckner]

Randy Seward runs in NMRA true street goes 8.40's at 160 mph plus, and talk about crazy gears. He runs a 295/65 drag radial with 3.25 gears in a 9" rearend. Turbos must like the grunt. He has an AOD trans, so I can imagine cruising on the highway at 80mph at 1500rpm.

[Carlrx7]

rx7 ftw!

I had a 5.0. My car is in the shop getting a Big Block with a direct port nitrous system. I am also getting it converted to a tube chassis, ladder bar, powerglide, and full tubbed car (so I can put the flintstone tires on it). Then I am going to run against small block, stock suspension cars on radials.:poke:

[BAD BOB]

stock motor stock suspension cars too
