My setup, more "Pro-Touring" than drag...

17" drag radials, Nitto 555r, 275/40/17 (on the front too), Eibach lowering springs, KYB shocks, 427 small block, AFR heads, Comp "nitrous" grind cam (but NO nitrous, so might be hurting the combo), Edelbrock carb, $89 Summit HEI distrib/coil, RPM Airgap intake, TH400 ( 2200+ stall?), 3.70 gears (9" with a detroit locker).

Best pass was 12.34 at about 110 MPH... 1.7 60ft.

Hot lapping (4 runs in 15+ minutes, with best coming 3rd or 4th run)
and EXACTLY the way I drive on the street; Mixture of 89 and 91 octane pump gas from Costco, Out-of-the-Box Edelbrock carb, 17 psi in the drag radials, but still wanted to spin ( so launched about 1500-1800 RPM). damn short sidewalls... And functional factory A/C...

First runs ever on the lower pressure drag radials. I previously ran 36 psi in the tires; 1.9 60 ft, and 13.3s ETs, with 13.7 ETs with a Demon DP (really bad traction)


I have thought of getting some slicks and bolting the Double Pumper back on, just to see what she'll do... Or maybe a 125 HP shot of nitrous...
