Re: Black RS/Z & the 1/8 mile... any suggestions?
Hey, post a picture of the car...a black Z with stickies on rallys...NICE!
 Good luck to ya...only things I can think of are make sure your timing is in quickly, and might wanna go to a lighter secondary spring...bad thing about a small block is they're a little more finicky about launch rpm and what not...a big block has a little more torque so can go from anywhere, but sometimes it's either bog or spin with a small cube...where's Sammy, I bet he's full of "good info" on small blocks!

Re: Black RS/Z & the 1/8 mile... any suggestions?
I've got the 480 all in Quickly... with as much initial as it can stand and still crank.
It will be running 110 leaded... I am mainly worried about being lean on the top... I can't remember if I put 68 72's in the carb or 72 76's... I will have the camera... we are going to try to get some good shots of it launching... It looks so freaking sweet with the M/T's on rally's, the Yellow Lakewoods peeking out, and the Torque Thrusts on the front... We are going to drive it like it was meant to be driven!!!

Re: Black RS/Z & the 1/8 mile... any suggestions?
What gear is in it? M21 trans? Don't need it to fat in the heat. You can pretty much leave the motor alone. The work needing to be done is at the rear of the car on a Z/28.

Re: Black RS/Z & the 1/8 mile... any suggestions?
Car ran a best of 9.16 @ about 74mph, 60 ft. times average about 2.0. The time was terribly disapointing! We need to change a couple things and I think 8.75 is maybe possible.
We had alot of fun and did'nt break anything, so it was all in all a pretty good Thursday night. James has a couple of pictures to post.

Re: Black RS/Z & the 1/8 mile... any suggestions?
It has a M20... the motor is running out of fuel on the top, plus the points are bouncing at 7200...

Re: Black RS/Z & the 1/8 mile... any suggestions?
It may ET better at 6500-6700 rpm's. Are you running at least a 4:56? I am running 72's and 78's in the 780. Mine feels the strongest at about 6700 with a 4:10 rear and an M21. Mine needs at least a 4:56 to feel like anything. Its a dog!!
