The official Junkies ET/MPH list

[Freiburger]

I've seen this on other boards and liked it, so let's start a string where you post as much detail as you can about your car, weight, engine, drivetrain, then tell us the 60-foot time, 1/8-mile e.t. and mph, and 1/4-mile et and mph from your best-ever pass. Also tell us what track you were at, and give use the weather conditions if you can.

It's always interesting to me to see other people's setups and real-world et numbers.

'68 Biscayne, 4100lbs with me.
427+.060-439". 10.0:1, heavily ported Merlins with 2.25"/1.88", mechanical flat tappet 257/270 @.050- .640/.670- 113.5 LCA, C-454 with 1" open spacer and 1050, 2" primary headers w/3" large case Flowmasters 18" back from collector flange-no tail pipes. 6800rpm shift point
TH400 with tight 10" converter-3500 rpm max.(column shift!)
12 bolt with 3.90 gears
295/50/15 Hoosier Quicktimes
pump gas

11.67 @ 116.9, 1.88 60' summer-hot/humid, KCIR (I think it's about 1200' elevation?)

Was meant to be a "nitrous dependent" combination so it was kind of a pig without it.

Re: The official Junkies ET/MPH list

235" 4-link dragster
Reher-Morrison 572
BTE Powerglide
4.11 gear and 33.5 Goodyears
1.071 60'
3.051 330'
1/8 4.745 @ 144.74 mph
Haven't ran the full 1/4 with this combo yet. With a six year old Reher-Morrison 555 it'll run low 7.80's in the 171 mph range. Most passes were at Memphis Motorsports Park, and the quickest times have been in September.

Usual DA here is 2000~3500 in the spring and fall, 3500~5000 summer. Starting line is 1719' altitude.
We lose about between 1 and 2 tenths in the mid summer when temps average 95 to 105F. Such is life on pump gas LOL. We pick up 2~3 tenths if we pull to Ft. Worth/Dallas or San Antonio, depending on the weather (RH is mucho higher in those towns).

Not real fast, but fast enough for now. I still use it as a truck. Still could use some tuning, I haven't done anything to it. I want to go faster, but it will be with one of the cars.
