Thanks for the welcome guys. Yea the car runs 11.50 no nitrous as it's best time so far. I'm still ironing out the bugs. I do have nitrous on board though cause I am shootin for 10 seconds. I have a 383 11:1 forged everything, trickflow heads with cnc chambers and full port and polish,Toker II manifold all port matched to heads W/2 inch carb spacer (changing to Super Victor now) nitrous HP cam (changing I think soon to a better grind), hedman longtubes, tons more My mods are in the VB garage over @ thirdgen.org. Car has a TH-350 with 4k stall and protree brake with 4.11 yukon geared detroit trutrac moser 9 inch rear. M/T radials. Before installing the TH-350 w/brake I had a built up 700 that I built myself and thats when it ran 11.51 @123 but I have yet to get some runs on this new trans. I would hope it is faster but so far I have had several bugs lately that I have been taking care of so it can utilize the launch. I've done all the work on every aspect of the car from building the engine from bare block to building transmission and rearends to wiring and Roll cages. Lots of work but whole lot of fun!

hey.... i think your tires are different sizes... you might want to look into that. Laughing

Nice. What are your cam specs and how much does that thing weigh?

izcain · Posted: Mon Oct 02, 2006 6:54 pm Post subject:

113 LSA 274/292 .488 .501 for now. Last time on the scale it weighed 3550 with a half tank of race fuel, me and my fiance in the car, and full bottlecourse that was on a truck scale and im not sure how accurate it is. Wink

Im planning on dumpin more weight this winter! Ill have to look into that mismatched wheel combo Very Happy

Im looking at going to something with tighter LSA like 110 or 108 and around 300 or more duration with .500 lift along with the cam swap Im going to changing rocker ratios from 1.5 1.6 so these mods should net me a stout increase.

We are pretty good at drinking beer too!

haha, great looking car, the stance is just mean. What sort of 60' times does that thing pull down?

I love that you kept the 82-83 Z nose on it. Most people switch to the later style noise. those early Z cars just look mean when you give them that drag race stance.

Great looking car, and great project. Keep us posted on the times you get with the giggly-go!

hey shut up jake Razz

at least my car is....... uhm.... slower then yours. crap.

Wink

EDIT* hey the "size" tags don't work. that was supposed to get smaller in font size as it went on to give the impression that i was trailing off. Rolling Eyes

izcain · Posted: Tue Oct 03, 2006 4:29 pm Post subject:

Well the funny part is the 60's have sucked but that was before I had the TH-350 in, and I had a tight converter on the 700-r4 (2400 holeshot) my usual was aroun 1.7. Car has a crazy midrange and top end and thats where I was getting my times hence the 120+ mph with mid 11 seconds. Now that I can acually get a good launch hopefully I can pull some better 60's now. Thanks for giving me a warm welcome. Everyone has been great! Is anyone planning on going to the track again before the end of the season?

Xophertony · Posted: Tue Oct 03, 2006 4:31 pm Post subject:

we could be. i would like to run my v6 car again and see if i can put down somthing less embarrassing now that i have a clutch.

izcain · Posted: Tue Oct 03, 2006 4:36 pm Post subject:

I think I may be going to a track not this friday but maybe the coming one. I've got the new 2-step installed and changed a few suspension items hopefully it will net me a gain along with getting used to this whole transbrake idea Wink

Dewey316 · Posted: Tue Oct 03, 2006 4:46 pm Post subject:

what track do run at? I don't know what the seattle guys have planned. Since you are from up there, I assume you are going to mission, or sir, or bremerton, or somewhere up that way.

izcain · Posted: Tue Oct 03, 2006 5:22 pm Post subject:

I think I am going to try to go Oct. 20 to Bremerton Raceway and see if I can get a couple of passes in before I tear some things back apart and install some better items Wink

Maybe I'll go too, just to see what my "new" stock '89 will do. If I break something, it's alot closer than PIR.

Welcome, izcain! That's a pretty impressive car you have. We'll all look forward to learning a few tricks from you to make our own cars better. Cool

izcain · Posted: Wed Oct 04, 2006 7:37 pm Post subject:

Hey Al Hasse dont worry. I come from quite a ways to race so I just trailer the car down. If you break I can always give you a ride home if it's not to far. Im coming from up on the coast. Thanks QwkTrip it's nice to finally talk with some people that have the same interests since most people around my town have imports.
