Brent what times was the car running ?

brent flynn · 07-13-2015, 08:46 PM

Ran 7.19/93.3x in good air, and has been running low 7.20s/93 in crap air, since i changed cam back... 1.495 60fts
11.46/115 and change in the 1/4 in nasty air, as well... should break into the 11.30s in Fall air, but now, im goin back to 4.33s, so
that may keep it from doing so...not sure.

It might just like the 4.33s.

I ran them last year, with the tall tires... I think it will like them better, with the shorter tires and 350 trans... It'll be interesting...

Did you ever get out after changing to the 4.33s ?

brent flynn · 08-06-2015, 06:34 PM

Sure did.. so far, in the Summer heat, at Norwalk last weekend, it went 11.54, a couple times, a .55 and a .57 at 114.6 It doesnt leave quite as good, but runs well...and i had to put the 400 trans back in , due to 2nd gear being destroyed, and the case busted, as a result of the 4.56s getting chewed up. Trans is getting fixed, and hope to get a set of Pro gears in it, before season is over...

Do you feel its running where it should be after the gear trans change? Sorry to hear about the trans. I dont know about stockers but ive seen a big block chevelle bracket car not have any et diff. between a th400 and th350.
