79CamaroDiva was that you at tech. if i had known i would have said something. you told me that i need a kill switch because i put the battery in the trunk. next time ill have to keep an eye out.
baddest434:
i remember a couple of years back seeing you at etown, i think and your son were running in the low 10s at the time. i think that you have the higher hp 434 that scott shafiroff sells(i think you said around 650hp). mine made 576 hp and 582ft lbs. i still think that theres plenty more in this car. i hoping very high 10s. the car weighs about 3600lbs with me in it. so both the car and myself could stand to lose some weight. i really need to get a set of taller tires for the rear and alittle more tuning, i think i should be around low 11s. my friend has a set of 28inch tall MT drag radials(i currently am running 26 inch tire), so im going to borrow them on sunday and head back to the track and see if that helps me at all.
i know longer have the 5 speed. it wasnt holding up to well behind that motor. i built a 700r4 that should be able to handle around 650-700hp. i also installed a 3400 stall converter.
the car is a street car so i dont want to do any crazy weigh reduction like changing the glass out for plexi-glass. i wanna keep it streetable. i have already done alot of weight loss to the car:
-tubular k member and suspension
-fiberglass hood
-motor has aluminum heads/intake
-got rit of alot of the crap in engine bay
-im sure theres more i just cant think of it right now
if there is anything else that i could do to reduce weight while keeping it a somewhat safe street car, let me know. thanks alot
