What state of disrepair is your DW entry in at this point?

[BBR]

MT drag radials for the driving and MT bias slicks for the track!

[BlueCuda340]

I went with 265 55 15 radial TAs for the road. Looks crazy skinny even though they are not much more narrow than the 275/50s I run for drag radials. They are taller though which is another reason to run them.

I have a set of MT ET radials coming for street and race. Never run drag radials- this may be a good thing or a bad thing. Neither the truck nor myself have been on a drag strip in 17 years. Was hoping to get a few runs in before, but that doesn't look like it is going to happen. I have a few issues to work out- new shifter, electric fan working, brakes working better, and a few other odds and ends. And drive it! I hope it holds together....

Let us know on the brakes, you might need to lead!

need help tuning classic fast

need help tuning a classic fast i I have never had fuel injection my original plan was to take it to lmr in Houston but their tuner is unavailable i have called several other shops and none can help. Can any one help me out its a classic fast on a 302 ford 160 injectors, inter-cooled turbo

Do you have a basic tune, or does the whole thing need to be written?

I finally made it to the track tonight. The car hasn't seen the track since they kicked me off for going faster than I tech'd for two weeks after DW last year. I found two bad plug wires and after fixing them ran 11.21 but had only tech'd for 11.50. Tonight it ran 11.32 and 11.30 both at 118 - 1.63/ 1.61 60'. I uncorked the exhaust on the second pass just to try it. Looks like the 4.22 gears put me exactly where I needed to be as I'm shifting at 6k and I'm crossing the stripe at about 5900-6000. It still launched straight but with some tire spin (realized after that I didn't air down the rears), I don't think I did a thorough enough burnout either as I'm waaayyy outta practice.

Your challenge BS'ers, should you choose to accept it, is to help me get it into 11.0's or into the magic (for me) 10.99 with tuning assistance on Sunday's test n tune. I think there's more there but admittedly I'm not too knowledgeable when it comes to playing with timing and carb jetting safely. That combined with my fear of damaging this old school precarious setup keeps me from goofing with it too much.

The car feels solid though so I think it's good to go for the trip. Now I can work on other things that need to get done before I leave.

Congrats Rich! Those are very good times, if you can run 5 days of those, you gotta be happy.
However; shaving 4/10's more is a tall order when you consider you still need to show up in Tulsa on Friday LOL. I'm impressed with your progress.

I see your leaving on the 5th, what route are you planning? I also plan on leaving the 5th. For me it's all I40 after ABQ to OK City

Had to feel great to get back at it. Low elevens without topping 6k........sounds like a plan to me. I'll have 72 jets on hand and time (if my stuff stays together). 10's just might be in your future.

See if Rich can get you in the ball park.

If you can get a base tune that will start it and you have a A/F gauge I can help you with the rest(show you how) I have same FAST on my turbo cobra.

Hey Swede! I plan on going down to Bakersfield on 99 and hanging a left onto 58 then to I40 also. I'm trying to leave by 1 as I have some recently scheduled meetings for work in the morning. Since you drive your beast on the road w/o a trailer, I'd hold you back speed wise. If it worked out though it would be cool to meet up somehow.

Yeah, while I'd like the car run just a tad faster, I know that it's probably about where it should be with the consistency of the mph. I'm happy with where it's at without beating it really hard. Even if it doesn't improve time wise, I'd really like to just ensure that my tune is in the safe A/F range and the timing is also safe yet not leaving a much in the bank.

I want to get back into bracket racing now that it's on the road again so consistency is key.

btw: Rich Nedbal is an awesome guy who is very knowledgeable in many aspects of engine building and tuning. He practices what he preaches with his own cars he's been racing for years.
