Subject: Re: Took the 62 for a spin by wesmigletz on 2010/1/3 20:23:15 The combo is unchanged from the last time I raced in July. I just drove to the track, and emptied the trunk, and let her rip. The key variables were that in July, I ran at Famoso in mid 90* temps. This time was at Fontana with low-mid 70s temps. Fontana has a higher elevation and tends to be a bit slower than Famoso, but the temps were lower. The combo is still the original, #s matching 327 + .040", 3.85" stroke (395 CI +/-), 6.0" rods, 9.6:1 compression, AFR 195 CC street eliminator heads, ported #7530 Weiand Team G intake (only beacuse it fits under a stock hood, using a GM drop base intake), a 670 CFM vacuum secondary Holley carb, a 282 Comp HR, ground on a 112* LSA, 1.6 roller rockers, 1 3/4" Hooker Super Comps, a 2 1/2 exhaust, that exits the rear of the car (over the rearend), a 700R4, 1800-2200 stall converter, original 3.36 rear, 235/60/R15 M/T ET street. The weak link in the combo is the 5400 RPM shift point of the trans when left in D, with the stock PG shifter. My first and best pass was: 1.811 60' 7.666 1/8 @ 89.28 12.149 @ 112.83 I only got two 1/4 mile runs because of heavy winds. The second pass, hot-lapped, was 12.19 @ similar MPH. My best 1/8 was: 1.74 60' 7.696 @ 90.21 MPH Of course, this was on a 7.7 dial-in... |
