Here's one clip from this past Wednesday- happened to be the quickest/fastest of the night: 13.10 secs at 105 mph.

Motor is a FRPP 302 Boss block 302 (b cam 345 hp crate motor).
3.55 IRS / TKO600 / Nitto NT01s / FFR stainless headers and side pipes

This is as quick as it's going to get- my Chevelle is a half second quicker at the same trap speed which is interesting.

I also tried 3 wing angles- not that it helps at the drags but to see the effect on drag (pun intended).

0 degrees (to the ground) - 105 mph
5 degrees - 104 mph
10 degrees - 102 mph and the car felt slow

Just for my amusement. Also a hundred mile round-trip drive with the the loud pipes.

Time for more power. I'm considering a head change to AFR Renegades to bump the compression up from 9 to 10:1
Maybe do that first and then swap cams.

Something do to and I'm not looking to be 'done' with the car.

Dave,

It is always fun to ride along with you.
I'm sure the head change will make a huge difference.
