Nice work Jeff.

With the right trans and clutch combo it should go high 8's.

With the wrong trans/clutch.... will be picking up pieces off the track :oops:

Re: Ok, so I'm open to suggestions... Twin Turbo & EFI

Here's another thought, you say you still have that D1sc, is it a complete kit for your BB? Could you use it without spending to much $ ? What I'm thinking is get your feet wet with EFI using the D1sc. I'd bet an easy 900+ HP with your current 427/434 long block and cam w/the D1. The math is simple,...

Re: Ok, so I'm open to suggestions... Twin Turbo & EFI

...What would you look for in a cam ? ...You're using an F2, right ? Harry, I'm not a cam expert, was just curious what you had for specs. Your duration is similar to my old cam 255/262 @ .050", my new cam is bigger. A turbo cam may need something different. I had the guys at Steve Morris spec...

Re: Ok, so I'm open to suggestions... Twin Turbo & EFI

Ya Harry it's been a while, still friends? A single would be plenty, but the WOW/COOL factor of twins is hard to beat. For simplicity, put a Procharger on it. All I'm saying is 427/434 is enough ci to run mid 8's with turbo or centrifugal boost. With your computer background EFI is a slam dunk. Not ...

Re: Ok, so I'm open to suggestions... Twin Turbo & EFI

But it'd all be old school grunt, without a lot of finesse, ya know ? So like I say, the ultimate goal isn't just horsepower and torque, it's more about the next generation of systems management and whatnot for the build. I still don't know if I'll do anything like this, but it sure sounds like it ...

I used to race a 9 sec p/m turbo 62 bug ....i can build you a 562hp type 1 turbo motor ..... BTW John, a good friend of mine is putting together a late 60's Turbo bug and may need to pick your brain sometime. He got the engine/turbo out of a running sandrail, not sure on the details, but it's suppo...

Re: Pig or not

I have a friend with a 67 GTO 468ci, 13:1, NA, 3200#s, runs 9.70s. So yours should too, weighs less.
His cam has more duration with similar lift. I think I would try the cam that is in it first.

Are you coming out to Pomona May 16th -19th for the NMCA race?

The world is changing. I have to admit several of my buds own Novas and one even has an Apollo.
I've even been seen helping work on them.

Re: 1970 Cuda 4 speed 60 ft problem

Yes, 4.10 is good...
4.56 just a little better, but probably NOT a big deal.

Re: 1970 Cuda 4 speed 60 ft problem

I ran the 28x 10.5W MT on a 10" wheel, then switched to 29x 12 GY on a 12" wide wheel. My car (5 speed) the 29" GY hooked much better. On a good track they (the GY) will dead hook, that can be a problem for a clutch car. Some wheel speed (spin) is actually needed or things will break ...

How was the weather?
Hot?
Dry or Humid?
What elevation is the track?
Same place you raced before?
