Default Re: Fuel Injection

Ed, you ran 10.08 @ 3240 minimum in SS/JA. I have never been that fast, I have been 10.19 in SS/KA. Both in good air. Course both are SS cars. Cam, Intake, etc don't matter. I think you got a point of compression on me. My wheelbase in 116 inches, I think your car is a couple feet shorter. I got ten cubic inches. You got a Chevrolet. That means that 8 million, 3.42 Hundred thousand, 968 people have worket on that thing. I would think it's pretty close by now. Parts for that thing are available at Walmart, K-Mart, and Walgreen. Is your motor the same as Ricky Decker? It's also 279 factored. All them doorstops yall race look alike. He went 9.70 something @ a little less than 3000 lbs. Is that the same combo. Both RWD, and both have had the aforementioned multi million people research team. The only thing worse for parts than a 360 is either Captain Jacks large boat, or Gen III Hemi stock replacement pieces. According to my trusty Moroso Power Speed Calculator 89650, for a car to run 10.08 @ 3250 lbs, it is about 575 +- HP, and low and behold on the previously discussed Calculator 89650, a 3475 lb car to run 10.19 takes 590 HP. Pretty close. Unless you are sandbaggin. I ain't. Now I don't know Mr. Moroso personally so I can't speak for the slide rule, but those numbers work on my motor, course I got that junk dyno, so maybe not. I'm just not sure where you and my Fireman Friend Bryan get the numbers. The fastest 360 in all of Nitro Joe Kingdom is 9.59 and that is is GT/FA. Bryan might have gotten some of that fire foam in him at a fire? I hope not. I have never seen anything close to 8 seconds in any recorded official NHRA race. Maybe it's the UFO effect. And there is always the possibility that Nitro Joe's Stats are brutally wrong, but it has never happened before. I'm sure this discussion will continue.
