6.40 N/A 112

5.76 on the .082 121mph

5.68 123mph .093 jet



On the .082 jet your pulling 9 from what base?

It's already gone 6.30 with small carb and blowing through the converter N/A. With the big carb and better coverter, who knows?????

That's what I was wondering if it was a single bar or double. So it's "one" 82 jet.

The new class "teX275" for this year now has a record low ET of 5.27 set by Trevor. Thats fast for the drag radial rules here, with et's from other car's all over the place even in the 6.'s

Soooo, I'm thinking by the end of the night we'll be in the 5.5 range. If I can get it to run that I'd be very happy. Friday night will be the last time the car comes out drag radials......... The new 10.5's are waiting to be mounted. :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

What's the race weight and rear weight bias?

With that big block and good traction, it should be much faster than 5.50s with enough testing.

53% will make the radials more of a challenge. But you'll make it work and get it flying.

On the .082 jet your pulling 9 from what base?

38 base
Thanks. I have been running a .082 jet for a while in a lot less serious combo than yours. just was wondering where your timing was compared to mine.
Good luck Fri. and I hope you blow away my guess.

Good luck chris. With a .082 jet and a good track, should be 5.50's.
I am not really sure what the question is, but I am pretty sure the answer is Big Block.

No doubt it's got the potential, I'm just betting the hot track and small radial will be a challenge this evening. Good luck Chris!

Well, in 24 hrs we'll be headed to the track. The last 2 nights have been long and frustrating but we did get things back together and ready to go.
I hear what you guy's are saying about the heat, track temps and small tires. One good thing out of all that is the track is not going to open the gates until 7:00 pm and lets us run until 2:00 am so we might see cooler temps to run in besides 103*......... :thumb: LOL It will cool down to 98* instead! :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: LOL Oh well we have to go try.
Thanks you guy's for all the support and hopefully luck is on our side.

Results soon follows....... :thumb:
