Re: Yenko Deuce Timeslip
 

Tommy K in NJ had a best 60' of 2.092 with his a/t deuce, https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/shocked.gif but ran a 14.446 @ 94.31 https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif

My best 60' of 2.175 awarded me a 14.508 @ 95.54 mph.
My best et is 14.252 @ 98.69.
My best mph is 98.92 with a 14.338 et and a 2.353 60'.

My best 60' in 3 years was this past year at SCR9 with a 2.227, but my et was still only 14.376 @ 97.70.

I'm not sure where to look for improvement into the 13's https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif

M,
At what RPM do you shift? Those LT-1s love Hi Rev's but most people don't like to let them go where they're happiest. Look at the HP curves on some of the articles published on these engines.
Can't say that I blame you; I'd be a little uncomfortable too, but they DO come alive well above 5.5K. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif

Re: Yenko Deuce Timeslip
 

I try to shift at 6k, however, it seems to take a long time to get up to 6k and my itchy shifter arm might be pulling the next gear b4 6k. I think it take's so long because I have a low launch rpm, 2000-2100 - the 2.175 was with slipping the clutch, but it stunk.

Holy crap!! I just noticed this thread Marlin! Sorry to leave you hangin! I have not been reading as much as I would like to these days. I will dig the time slip out from the JJ run and post it.

Since my tach did not work when I owned my Deuce I did not use one! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/cool.gif I would just hammer it untill I felt the motor coming apart! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...emlins/eek.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif

Flipper? Coming from.... a dealer? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/naughty.gif I've owned my deuce for over 10 years now - plus, I'm a swordfish, not a dolphin https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif

Re: Yenko Deuce Timeslip
 

I didn't think that your name, your Deuce and "resale value" were allowed to be used in the same sentence?

When we did that "Killer COPO Shootout" for MRC, my Nova was doing a 2.3 60 foot, and still managed a 13.53 https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ins/tongue.gif Howz that theory now????? Keep that sexy exhaust on for shows and put on a real exhaust for racing.
