carolina today

BAD BOB · 04-03-2011, 09:27 PM

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.

RobertHolton1 · 04-04-2011, 12:37 AM

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

Matts94Z28 · 04-04-2011, 12:47 AM

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 · 04-04-2011, 07:15 AM

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 · 04-04-2011, 07:42 AM

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

BAD BOB · 04-04-2011, 08:36 AM

just tryin to get the most out of it for now

ElecTech · 04-04-2011, 08:45 AM

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 · 04-04-2011, 08:49 AM

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 · 04-04-2011, 09:49 AM

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 · 04-04-2011, 10:12 AM

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

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.

I think that 700ci theory may be flawed.

98nbmz · 04-04-2011, 11:37 AM

I wonder what the fastest shortblock time is..
