wade owens 11.40's
 

i know in this day and age of bogus / paper cars and killer combos it is often easy to not realize TRUE performance so i wanted to point this out...

11.40's in K/SA with a 40 year old beat to death combination with a 2 speed glide and a 435cfm 4 jet carb...
3 years ago i was so impressed by how nice that 66 chevelle was... and now im so impressed by how fast it is...

quality car and people > wade and his son !!!

Possibly the most powerful 283 stocker ever...as Barton seems to have trumped the Hemi's with a quantum leap, so has Owens done to 283's. Both causing much head scratching and back to the drawing boards for competitors

Re: wade owens 11.40's
 

Way fast , congrats to the Owens family . I married an Owens ,how bout sharing some of the family secrets ?.lol My ole heep just will run 12.20's in a nova. sure could use some of that hp.

Way to go Wade it must be the new diaper

Re: wade owens 11.40's
 

Can only imagine how high Wade is twisting that 283......very stout performance out of that combo. I'm sure there's a ton of work in that rocket........Great job. WJ

If you can gaurantee me some 11.40's ,I 'll take a diaper, no i'll take two (one for my spare motor too) lol.

Re: wade owens 11.40's
 

Very Impressive!
No inches, no valve size, no compression, not much carb, no cam lift, very little to work with, and a glide!
Hats off!

Re: wade owens 11.40's
 

Nice job Wade O, very impressive as usual!

Re: wade owens 11.40's
 

Thanks for all the compliments. They are very much appreciated! We have been working very hard and still need to sort a few things out.;)

Clutch Man, no one has made it a rule for you to have a blanket. We did this on our own because of all the block sanding, block sanding and more block sanding. I do not want to scrape anything if something should happen. We are very proud of how the car looks and want to keep it that way!

I want to thank Monster Energy and Justice Brothers for all the help ($;)).

Great Job Wade, You have a very impressive ride. Nothing like taking a new modern approach to making old iron fly. I'll see you at Indy this year....

Definatley flying!!

Re: wade owens 11.40's
 

That is one bad 283. It leaves like a rocket ,1.40's in 60' if I'm not mistaken. Wade has done a great job on the whole car. It's as nice as it is fast.

Re: wade owens 11.40's
