Ran the 72 at the track

[dustman_stx]

Ran an 8.56 at 82.xx mph. Too bad that out of a couple hundred cars at the track, only about 4 of them were remotely stock muscle cars. Just about everything that was there that wasn't a dedicated drag car was still pretty hopped up, most with nitrous. So, needless to say, I was one of a very few that wasn't running 7's or better, most way better. There was a new camaro that ran low 9's(I think) and a couple of newer mustangs running high 8's and low 9's, but I never lined up against them. Also a guy I knew had his turbo'ed Neon there running high 8's. I had 3 runs, all against cars running low 7's, so I saw lots of taillights. Did see a bump there called "Godzilla" that was an all out drag truck. Looked really cool. Had a stroked 460, if I remember correctly. Didn't get to see him, or much anything else run, as I was in line waiting to run most of the night. It was a major adrenaline rush, though. First run I was pretty sure I was going into cardiac arrest.

Was it an 1/8 mile???

Good run, sounds like you had a blast.

That would be a heck of a weird 1/4 mile run. All kidding aside, yes, it was 1/8 mile.

Sounds like a lot of fun!

Do you mind giving the specs on your setup?

[Jarred Hodges]

390, .030 over, forged rods and pistons, 10:1, C8AE-H heads with 2.09/1.65 valves, comp 288R roller cam, Performer RPM, Demon 750, Mallory Unilite with MSD Digital 6, Hedman headers, full 3" exhaust. If I had it to do over, I'd have gone with a 445 stroker kit from Barry R at Survival Motorsports and Edelbrock heads. Probably would have gottten another 100+ horsepower for only $2000 or so. Live and learn.

Your setup is very similar to mine, but I have the Edelbrock heads, Demon 650 and a flat tappet cam (soon to be swapped). I feel the same way about the stroker kit.

What trans and rear gear are you running?

Also, where do you live? Is Dodd City, TX...just east of Bonham?

NICE! What was your 60ft?

[ezernut9mm]

Running the C-6 and 4.11 gears. Yep, just east of Bonham. I notice you aren't far from me.

Actually, my 60' was right at 2 seconds, which isn't that great.

[TX69F100]

Yup, not too far. Perhaps we can get together one day and play trucks. LoL. I'd like to check out that 72.

I just got my C-6 back together last night. Hopefully I'll have it back in the truck by the end of the weekend.

Thats a heck of combo! Looks good and runs good to.
