It’s a 1966 GTO Tube chassis
Weighs 2800 with me in it with aluminum block
535 made 887 at 7000 RPM( 905) with correct vaccum
4.56 rear gears and a TH400 with 2.48,first
60 ft is 1.28ish

Should do 8.70 in good air.

Car used to be owned by my uncle known on PY as greaserdegreaser

I love the look and finish on your car! Just curious on what tire size you have on it. With a 4:56 gear you may be turning A LOT of rpm's at the big end especially if you think it's going to run 8.70's. That would be in the 155ish MPH range.

32 inch tall tire. I was spinning around 7400 threw the traps at 145ish before.

You might want to think about 4.33 or 4.11 gears

I run a 33" tall tire and 4:33 gears. At 154 MPH I'm at around 7700 RPM's. Partially depends on how tight your convertor is. I don't think a little less gear will hurt you as light as your car is.

I ran a 9.27 at 147 this weekend, only got to make one pass as I found something in my oil filter I didn’t like, it turned out to be just debris from when I had my valley pan and oil filter resealed after the dyno session.

I definitely need some work on the chassis, with a lot more torque and Hp this go round I was bouncing off the line, just wasn’t a pretty launch.

I agree. I like a Glide with a 1.8 first and a 4.33 out back. I bet it nearly came off the ground on the hit with that 2.48 first ...lol.
