Ran the stang again, gained some ground.

Was working on my jetting as the day went, last run was still raising the jet sizes and still gaining MPH, so not there yet. Bogging off the line since I really need to have a 5k stall but oh well, all in time. The looser front springs/shocks did help a ton along with the detroit locker instead of my worn out posi.

1.732 60
4.802 330
7.342 1/8
96.66 MPH
9.548 1000
11.425 1/4
119.71 MPH


Little side note, just for fun I took the wifes Jeep SRT8 down once, since its 10 bucks to get in, why not for 15 more make a run with it. Well, I cut a .009 reaction time with it LOL. I doubt Ill do that one again. Turns a 13.8@99mph though. Usually they turn in good air 13.2@103 or so. Pretty humid out today, and elevation is 1410 here at our track.

Lots of cool cars running this weekend. 03 Cobra ran against me one run but he had some bad shifting that run. Speaking with him prior he was running some 11.60's at 118. Nice car, cool guy.

Next outting hopefully Ill have my converter.

If you watch the other video you can see the change the springs/shocks made.

I watched the video and recongnized the location! Yesterday was my first trip to the Champion Raceway since I moved up here. I remember your car on Saturday - it sounded nice as you pulled up in the lanes. I did stick around to see you run. It sounded like the motor was missing on that first run on Saturday, but the video sounded real good. Think it's time for some more traction?

I liked watching that 70 Shelby with a punched out N/A 460 in it. He was running low 10's most of the day. Cool guy too. Maybe I'll run into you at the track one of these days.

Ya, the first run I was super lean. It popped real bad. Only thing I changed from the weekend before was taking my exhaust off and run header extensions.

I'm doing fine on traction now, the engine builder was helping me out and pretty much I'm bogging off the line now. I just cant leave at a high enough rpm. My converter was built for my blower motor that made lots of tq down low. Now I'm 180 degrees away from that with a high rev NA.

Come out on June 13th when the medford cruise is out. Should be alot of cool cars running.

 

[blown65]

Couple more vids from the track.

My dads Camaro, one more of my Stang. (red lighting. lol badly too) and one run in the wifes Jeep.

Would help to attach the link to the vid. LOL

very nice for n/a!

Still think there is alot left in the build.

Got my 8" UCC ordered from Lenny, should be here in a week.

Transmission is coming out this weekend, its eating a bearing up badly and not sounding so good. Got my replacement PA SuperComp sitting on the garage floor waiting for that converter. Ended up with a pretty good price on it. Bummer though, my current trans is still shifting hard like new too. Has hardly any miles on it, but back then lots of ppl were having issues with Art Carr stuff, I just didnt use it enough.

Replacing my heavy arse steel wheels in the rear with some GregWeld Racelites. Should cut out about 20-25lbs each wheel. :O Those steel suckers with the little 26x8.5" slicks weight 48lbs each. OUCH.

Still contiplating ordering the complete kit from CalvertRacing. I'm on orig leafs with pos ugly arse slapper bars and some Comp. Eng 60/40 shocks. I hate those slapper bars, such an ugly eyesore, its almost worth the replacement of them for that alone.

Lots of work to do, since the stupid weather turned to crap, trans is coming out this weekend. Converter maybe will be here first of June, around the 3rd or so.

I'm a glutton for punishment. Went with their whole setup from Calvert. God my wife is going to kick my butt. lol

You'll love the 60's though. Thinking about their new 90/10 dual valving shocks. My nose doesn't come down during a pass. I can get a ton if I quite trapping air.
You'll like that UCC I think. I should really see if perform when I turn it up liek we planned.

Ya, my 90/10s feel more like 10/10 lol. Prob change those down the road, but god I gotta stop at some point before I'm sleeping with the dog.

Ass for the UCC, I hope so. Spendy little piece. lol

 

[blown65]

Getting there. Still fooling with tuning and making progress. 1st 60' was at 4k launch, second was 4400 and third was 4600. The last spun quite a bit more than the second but still pretty close. Haven't messed with any rear suspension settings on the caltracs yet, still getting the motor jetted right, and mess with some timing next time hopefully. I think this winter some AFR205s and a Supervic are going on, or FoxLake Stage 2 or 3 porting on my VicJrs. 10's are just right there. I think with some more tuning and what not some 11.0 Os are in reach, just dunno bout a 10.99. Kinda a stretch its looking like.

Bummer though, the Camaro broke on the second run, either trans is shot or the converter. It has LOTS of passes on that trans though. Got some vids of some other stangs running, maybe Sunday Ill get them up. Hopefully I can get my 60' a little better once I get the tune dialed in.


DA was around 3000-3100' too tonight, Started in the 90's, ended at around 80 but had thunderstorms all around, got lucky.

R/T 60' 330 1/8 mph 1000 1/4 mph

Nice numbers. You will get to the 10's before you know it. Keep up the good work.

 

[blown65]

This was our first run, and my slowest. (1.65 60' the first pass)

The video on the last run was terrible, cant see anything.

Sorry its a pic of a pic so pretty crappy quality

 

[coolblue65]

i love seeing those wheels come up!

 

[blown65]

ya, I thought it was cool, that was the night I was doing 1.65's in the 60. This friday with a better tune and a higher launch rpm it picked up almost a tenth. I'm sure its a little bigger that time. heh

The last run was teh 1.59 60' with the 4600 rpm launch. Got some chatter or hop for a little bit outta the tires. Gotta figure out this slight stumble on launch though, first and third run just a little bit out, maybe 40' or so it would die out a tad like too much fuel or too little fuel. 2nd run that did the 1.57 was clean with no stumble. Always something. lol

 

[dennis112]

Very nice runs there Blown68. You certainly are getting the power to the ground.

At 118mph, you will probably be hard pressed to get it into the 10's, but another tenth is quite possible. I wish I could get my car to accelerate as hard as yours in the first half of the track. Got to love those free reving 347's. Good Job!

Ya, def not with the weather we were having thats for sure. Hopefully next time the DA will be more to my benifit. heh


I see you have accufab headers, I think thats what I'm going to go with when I swap to the AFR 205's myself. Did you go with the wide bolt pattern on those 1 3/4" and how do ya like the headers fit wise?

 

[dennis112]

I really like my 1 3/4" Accufabs once they are in the car. The stock type Z-bar is a pain to fish in between the tubes and I did need to lightly massage the shock tower for a couple of other tubes. Ground clearance is excellant., but the driver's side tube should be angled down more to get it away from the floor boards. 65/66 engine bays really have a hard time accepting a windsor with headers so I don't beef about these little things. Overall, they are much better than the Tubular Automotive headers I used before. I still use the standard 2" spread as these headers were spec'ed for my old heads.

 

[blown65]

ah good to hear. I have the auto so might fit a little easier. They have a step option too, but dunno if its worth it to go to that. Maybe if I go back to a blower it would, but N/A the 1 3/4 should be fine.
