Ok guys I know alot of you dont like these questions but i need to get a couple other people that say the same thing. First the car is a 66 lark with a weight of 3800lbs. the rear is a built 10 bolt with all the good stuff and the tired are 28 11.50 MT dot tires. the trans is built with 3000stall the exaust its MT headers with 3inch exaust. the MTR is a 464 with about 10.5 or so comp(it runs on pump gas thats at a 91 rating here) its got all the oil mods and girdle with studs every were and the heads and intake are STG1 TA street heads, ported and port matched to a SP1 intake. A 1000cfm holley carb and a Ta cam608 hyd. a Mallory ing. set up and all that go with it. also the gears are 3.90 So with all that can someone tell me if she'll be in the 10 second club or just fall short of it??? Thanks For the input guys Doug
I wish i could remember were that paper is at. moved to a new place and cant find have my stuff. I remembe the guy saying to me at the machine shop that he was impressed with the numbers out of the heads and was wondering if i had enough mtr to make them work. i guess lets say there at least stock.Even though there is work in them and with out the flow numbers it will be hard to get a ET. Doug
LOL...........with a tail wind I think I could push it across the 1/4 in about 45 min. Its pretty light at the moment........... Oh - wait I don't even have tires Yet ou: - o.k. maybe 55 min then:laugh:
I would say expect to make a run. Thats it. And do it without overheating or whatever. Shake it down and have fun. No guessing. But if I had to... I say your right there at 11's? Very hard to guess. There is a whole lot that can go wrong.
I have another question could the primeary exaust tube be to small for the c motor?? its a 1 7/8 M/Ts from the GSCA. Would a 2 inch be better for the heads?? Thanks Again Doug PS what if i Had more work done to the heads or spray Nitrrous on it???
Unless you have a lot of port work, the 1-7/8" primaries are fine. A logical step would be head work and compression. Sure, you can go with nitrous anytime, in which case the lower compression would be a safer bet. It can bite you in the butt, though if you don't know how to read plugs, accomodate with different ignition timing, etc. In other words, it might make more sense to make the most of what you have and learn the finer tricks along the way before jumping off a cliff with N2O and a blindfold.

I guess your right I though it might run in the low 11s but after reading other combos simular to mine in the high 10s i was wondering if that could be the case for me. My ultimate goal was to have a pump gas car that ran in the 10s and high 9s on the spray. Im kind of a nitrous junky with my own fill station and 10-12 bottles. But your right Devon I would work every angle before i just start spraying on it had to learn that lesson at a young age. funny thing about nitrous is that with all I have spent on it and have stock piled I could have had a blown car by know I thinkou: Thanks Guys Doug
Your motor combo should make good power.It's your suspension that will hook it so if you can't launch it hard the et won't be there.I agree a bigger converter 4500 or so could get you pretty close to your goal. By the way I read your post your goal is to run 10's on dot tires and through the exhaust on pumpgas right? Jamie
Ya Jamie, I just want the car to run on pump gas and go 10s. Threw the exaust and on DOT tires is just a plus.I have a 3 inch exaust with cross over and ET streets. my little bros car would pull the tire off the ground in front of his house with the same tire. only mines wider :laugh: you got in the 10s with your combo. was mine close???i have the suspention set up an a little fine tuning after the engine is fine tuned shouldn't be a problem. whats all in yours??? Thanks Doug
Doug my combo when it went 10.88 was @ 3580 lbs 411 turbo 400 4500-5000 stall on 94 oct pumpgas. Motor was ported iron STG 1 heads 1.65rockers 10to1 comp 260-266 580lift cam 1000hp holley sp1 intake 1'spacer 2'open headers. Suspension moroso front springs with Lakewood 90/10 drag shocks Rear has 36' ladder bars stock springs koni sp1 shocks 30x9 mt radial slick on a 10' rim. Just make sure your fuel system is up to the task. Your motor would make more power than that motor. My guess on the flow of your alu ta stg1 with a mild port would b 300ish with a decent valve job.That 608 cam is big hyd so your power should be 575+ tuned right. Don't lean it out a good fuel system is a must. Good luck and have fun on your quest for 10's. Jamie
