Yes sir, Phillip is running the new style TFS A-460 heads, along with Krisse Lawyer, Scott Carman, David Cole, George Keown, Larry Williams, Richard Talley and about 33 other racers that I personally know of. Come git ya' some.

good luck! what size pulleys you run on your vacuum pump? i have the same pump and think i'd like the v-belt deal.

I think the crank is a 2.5, and what ever the pump is...std deal. I have a lerger pulley for the crank, but this 15 yr old 3 vane still pulls like a champ..................

thanks,i'm tryen to find somewhere to mount this sob and the "radius"pulley on it means a f**ken $$ belt.i dont have one for the crank yet so it's a good time to swap it to v-belt.

Have fun with DD Jon!! Looking forward to some drag strip dyno numbers!!

Bill

good luck and hope ya post some good numbers!

Will be testing Sunday, weather looks good, trailer is all reorganized, datalogger up and running........................damn its been too long, but I think it will be worth the wait..........

Can't wait for the results, how much does your car weigh?

Just under 3000 w driver.

Good deal, HeRo's show no fear.

The DD will find any weak spots, but it sounds like you have more than done your homework.

Bill

well i got some tire issues to work out just like I figured, car still 3030#'s w driver, despite the 60" issues I managed a 8.77 @ 155.77, gear too short the last pass was turning 7600 in the lights.

corrected altitude was 3400', I get the 60' deal worked out it'll run a .40 in the 1/8th pretty easy, maybe more with M5 and a highspeed...........


and Nick, it never made 1000hp, my heap will be as fast as yours with no power adders...........


best part is I didnt bend any body panels or front valances...............

what did it run a best last year?

congrats on the numbers Jon ....... someone had just brought up that you would be slower then me , and i actually gave you props saying you should be faster with an n/a engine rather then my nos deal ....sorry i thought you said it was going to do 1000 ....... my bad

9.0's, at 147, and that was a mineshaft air day, I'll get the gears moved around and get after the 1/8th mile program now. Hell the first pass it blew off so bad they had smoke rollin off of um lol.

rat...

Nice!! The Power/Speed Calc puts that at about 860hp.

It will be cool to follow along and see how much it picks up with no traction issues and correct gears!!

No bent valances is a good thing!!

Jon,

It sounds like you've got some power there. My handy dandy Pitside chart says that a 8.75 car like yours, has the following incrementals;
60' = 1.22
330' = 3.56
660' = 5.53
1/4 = 8.75 @ 156.0 mph

So, if your 60' was a good bit slower than the 1.22, then you've got a lot to gain.

Keep up the good work and P.S. be nice to Nick

did you get video?....
