Default Re: Chevelle track results

(1) 496 is still running with UNported heads--just received new heads from Chad, haven't gotten them installed yet. Motor made just over 600 on the dyno (30 pulls) in current form.

(2-4) Heads aren't even built yet, will be built and will go back to the dyno shortly.

First, remember this is a NEW combination that's only been down the track twice. First pass was an EASY pass and went 7.74 @ 90+ with a soft launch and short shifting. That equates to ~12.07--again, on a soft pass. It only 60'ed 1.76.

The 2nd pass blew the tires off losing over .4 in the 60' AND I missed 3rd gear. I just drove it the rest of the way down the track, still went 12.7 @ 111.

Both runs were also with cold tires--I didn't even do burnouts, just wanted to get a feel for the car on the track.

Like I said, the car has EASY 11's in it as it sits, it's the DRIVER (me!) that needs work. I haven't made a pass down a dragstrip in over 20 years! Give me some time to get the hang of this again and to get the car shook down.

There's <span style="font-weight: bold">plenty</span> left in it!
