406 sbc with heads-big cam-headers-11.5 to 1-intake-750-ect. 411 gears and a lot of suspension work.
This car kept getting faster everytime I talked to him so I finally got him to meet me at the track on a test and tune night for a side by side pass. A couple of weeks of bs/ing and some money on it weds 10-19 finally comes. I tried to get a best two out of three, but he insisted on 1 pass heads up.
50% outside, I have 8 gallons of 110 and boost set at 17 in 1 and 2 and 20 in third. (Having creep at shifts, it may be because the gate is plumbed back into the exhaust?)
He's on Defender X14whatevers and I figure I'll leave him hard and get chased down at the big end. He does a massive John Force while I get both lights on and get the brakes set. As he's staging I start to build boost to 7 and as the lights come down it pushed through the brakes for a friggin red light.
He cut a 5.05 to my -1.8 and the whole pass I can hear him but can't see him on the mirror or in my peripheral vision.
Pull around to the shack and the slip is.
Me rt- 1.88 Him 5.05
60 1.86 1.88
et 13.12 13.16
mph 101.68 101.29
A couple of things. New PB for me! and how the hell did he get a 1.88 on 235/60 defenders?
So the long and short is I'm faster, but redlighted and out some $.
I waited 1/2 an hour and ran a 1.80 13.02 @ 101.67. So close to 12's. Waited another hour and the rack went away (it was 40 buy then) and came out spinning to a 2.03 13.26 @ 101.27.
He made another pass with a 5.09 light and a 13.2. I didn't look for a delay box but this guy is a long time drag racer so I wouldn't be suprised.
I F'ed up but my truck get a lot of respect from the local sbc type guys and I had a few guys in the stands come over and rell me how awesome it is to watch it launch and how cool it is to see a TY in person at the track. Most are amazed that it is (what I consider) stock with some good fuel and a little more boost.
