Well as you can imagine in heads up racing we all lie a little bit and keep our cards close to the vest. But it's 632+ ci, 1 Induction solutions nitrous kit with a powerglide trans. Already have a couple small chassis adjustments to try in the spring and may give it a little more jet. On a good track it should get into the mid 4.50s

Oh is that all?

Heck there was a guy a week or two ago that ran 4.05 in the 1/8th with a BBC with a turbo on 275 series drag radials. Now that is insane.

Heads up is the cool way to race.
Bracket classes let more folks come and play but the games suck.
My son would dial the Camaro to the near exact time it would run. He had a sense about that. Nothing in the bank. Nose never dropped until the car was well past the line. Everybody hated to race him.

632........just barely enough huh......
4.50's is insane fast in the 8th. That is dragster territory.

 

[RustyHornet]

My car has a number on the door. Beat that.

Early this summer Doc & Monza from street outlaws was at one of our races and Doc went a 4.2? In the 1/8th..but he has 4 nitrous kits and he doesn't have to meet a minimum weight requirement. Our car has to weigh 3150. Take some weight out and add another kit and I think I could give 'em hell on the track wouldn't try it on a street

Lol mine has 3 numbers on the window so ha. Lol

We got one guy that runs like an 815 in a 68 camero and another guy has a 760n/a motor in a 78 corvette and another dude runs a 706 with a screw blower in a split bumper camero...so it's bot the biggest motor in the class but it gets the job done

Lol well you got me there for sure. But I have a flag in the chute that says remove before flight. Lmao

That monti should haul the mail.
4 kits. That would be a tuning nightmare.

My Camaro weighed 2850 wet no driver. There was more to loose but I added ballast over the rear wheels to help slow it down a bit. Also helped it on hot slick track's.

Damn. I should get one of those, I've gotten air in my car on some back roads before. How bout a hula girl? I betcha ain't got one of them!

No matter what is between the fenders you have to get all down and stick it.
My little all steel 468 ran out pretty well.

 

[thunderchicken]

I would love to run it with no added weight. To meet the 3150 minimum we had to add @ 250lbs of lead and we have a 350lb driver. It's pretty light but no carbon fiber so with more $$$I could get it lighter but what's the point

Nice. Lmfao But I'm not sure the hula girl could hang on tight enough

That's why we run the race instead of bullet points on paper

You can put the weight back where you want it but if it hooks whats the point.

Big driver.....
