Bone Stock STAGE 1 Track Numbers

Thanks for the reply
Im hoping that the new car will weigh around 3400 with me in it,and with a warmed over ,blueprinted stock appearing 70 Stage 1 engine it will run mid 13s in Denver
Well see i suppose

 

Well,
I had a 73 Stage 1 4spd I ran at the Pure Stock Drags that weighed over 4200lbs with me in it, had 3.42 gears, and I think my best was a 13.89@101mph.

My opinion is that your goal E.T. should be easy to obtain, even at that elevation.

 

Well , im glad your so optimistic lol
Unfortunately it needs to be built like a mid 12sec car at sea level for it to run mid to hi 13s up in Denver

Also needs to do it through iron intake,exh manfolds ,etc
Although it will have ported manifolds,intake ,heads etc and some cam and converter as well

 

My 72 low compression Stage 1 ran 12.42 at 108 mph.(NHRA F/Stock Automatic), I did make several runs in the 30's but not for the record. Doug Jones 70 Stage 1 ran 11.64 at 117 (I think maybe 11.68) in C/SA for the record. Those high compression motors were really fast! His G/SA car ran 12.20's, it was a non Stage1 . His car was 150# lighter than mine. He had a few tuning secrets I hadn't learned yet.

 

Is there a way to merge the two threads with the same title. Maybe a moderator can do it?????

 

I found that full cams work better..........

 

We have a 1970 non air Car Driver @ 4100lbs . only modifications unilite & drilled Q-jet . 13.66 with a 3:64 rear and 13:20s with a 4:10 gear 255/15 tire .Never been apart 50k mile car... My 1970 with a/c & unknow cam & Stock everything else went 13.46@101 with too much timing & 275/15 BFG.

Both cars through a stock small exhaust system . The firist car now has a 2.5 exhaust and manifolds 4:10 gears

 

I think she is looking to keep up with the other yellow car.

 

99.9% Bone Stock, "untouched by human hands"--(LEGIT TRACK #'s-- 13.410 E.T. + 102.95 MPH)---Prior to "re-cone-ing" the posi.....So, it was a 1 + 1/2 legged launch!!

I remember seeing it run the day it was purchased but do not recall time it ran. Talking about Carl Rychlik's gorgeous Stage1 before it's resto.

 

Yup ... Fred Weisse dropped it off the trailer looking all clapped out but none the less stock 70 GS455 Stage1. Im thinking I remember it running 13.7's

 

My GS455 stock. Went 14.01@99mph. 3700lbs.3:42 stock posi.
i feel I could of started tuning but only had time to run it 3 times.
No adjustments were made.
establishing my base line.
