I get to move up again!
Went 11.97 at 114.97 today! With a1.81 60'

At a svelte 5400 lb race weight.
Not too bad for 359cid of compression ignition fury!
I have a larger primary turbo coming for more power,
and better brakes in the works, so i can hold it on the line to shorten my60' tines,

Shooting for cage territory... Will see in the spring!

**ronbz455** · 12-15-2012, 11:57 AM

I will have to look and see if I can find a time slip.

**alan** · 12-15-2012, 01:12 PM

Changed to .81 turbine housings at the GS nats this year and improved to an 11.76.The 60' time was a 1.78.

I may change to .69 housings just to see what happens.

It won't be long and I'll be maxed out, though. Stock rods and all that.

Will take quite a bit of

for me to catch up after you pass me!

Really need to get the Riv back to the track. I know I can cut 2 to 3 seconds off her old time.

**Briz** · 12-22-2012, 06:47 PM

Went to the track today. It was nearly perfect air and I think the car did as well as she's going too with the current tune. I could probably break into the 13's with a little more carb and timing. It drives very well as it is and I dont see a need to make changes right now. Heres the slip.
