I took a few more passes .

Took the Air Cleaner off , bogged terrible then recovered and ran a 12.361 @ 110.33
Put the Air cleaner back on and ran a 12.369 @ 109.91 followed by a 12.397 @ 109.32

Changes made since Norwalk were Exhaust upgrade from 2 1/2 to 3 inch from the manifolds to the tail pipes and swapped out the front tires 255/60's for some 205/75's

Can't wait for the Fall Cool air to see what it will run.

off-idle launch?

What rpm do you upshift?

Way to go Gary :D..hopin to race your Ass one day ...think it would be a good one..... :3gears:

Great job Gary!! Very impressed!

Good job Gary! :)

It's running good! I think it was your second to last pass i saw where it stumbled just after launch.
FWIW when we ran Q-JETs we found they liked having an air cleaner base on, if we ran with nothing it stumbled and just did run quite right. At least that was our experience.

Congrats Gary

Excellent , good to see the changes make a difference.

Congrats man! Should definitely pick up even more with the fall air!

The PMD engineers were some of the best in Detroit in designing air cleaners that "worked". They were known for have nice induction, intakes manifolds, ex manifolds ect. The iron Q Jet intake is based on a early 60s SD unit.

Foot Brake @ 2,000 RPM

1st to 2nd approx 4,500 , 2nd to drive shift-light was set at 5,700 and i shifted right after that.


Yes it would :D

It had been a few years since I tried , won't do it again. :eek:

Was shocked when I got the Time slip and it was my fastest ET . MPH ever

So it recovered nicely. :D

Nice job, Gary!

Good job congrats! Nice to see the changes pay off

Finally got out to the track last night for the first time in 2018. it was 53 degrees at the track.

Only upgrade was to replace the RobbMc 550 pump with a 1100 Pump and added a regulator.

First pass off the trailer was a 12.368 @109.78 - basically the same as last fall.

2nd pass was 12.258 @ 110.33 :D

3rd pass 12.337 @ 109.74 - shredded the alternator belt

The rest of the passes were :

12.368 @ 110.19
12.364 @ 110.33
12.342 @ 109.99
12.313 @ 110.06

So two new Bests last night :bounce:

A few time slips attached and what my Drag Radials looked like when I got to the Track. Just picked up some weld wheels to lighten up the car , just need to get some tires for them for the next trip to the track .

Keep up the good work Gary!

Cool, that PKMM engine just keeps getting quicker!

Great job. Enough mph for 11.99

Congrats on the new times!


:)


I'd say you have a lot left in the car, ET wise.
Probably with some good slicks would be a lot quicker.


What is the stall on the converter?


:)

congrats on the new bests.
Have you tried off-idle launch as better than holding at 2000 rpm?

Congrats Gary
