Went out last night with the new setup . 3480 raceweight. Da from 2100-1500.
FBO/E85/Dragpak/ stock ported heads/ Cam motion Titan 3 cam. The 60ft still sucks . Shift points were near stock. I got to back to the tuner and tell him to adjust shift points to 6700rpm. I don’t know how much it would help but my car feels like it’s short shifting every gear at 6350. Also, my converter is a Circle D 3X 3600-38000 stall. Is getting a bigger stall the only way to get a low 1.4 or high 1.3 ? This converter is already a little annoying to drive around. I can imagine a 4500-6000 stall. Anyway IT IS WHAT IT IS. I think it can be a little quicker but way off even from some fast Bolt on Cars . Don’t know how much a High Ram would help for ET? If anybody has any advise or info, I’ll take it . I went from 6.78 at 103 to a 6.65 at 106 . Tough to justify 6k out of pocket for 3mph increase. Hopefully the higher shift points will bring down the ET.

Great job Thomas, get out there and do it again.

shift rpm seems low. i shift my bolt on car at 6700.

what did you do with compression? id expect 5+ mph from a ported head/cam swap.

[Duramacr1]

Stock compression. Same size valves but solid SS valves . BTR .660 springs , GMPP lifters , Che trunion kit. All the head work was done by Westcoast Cylinder head. Good people over there. Thanks for the feedback. I wanted a little compression but the plan is to run nitrous so I left the compression stock. I guess extending that shift point will do the trick then. Thank you

if you have a dynograph, id use that as a gauge for shift points. otherwise you can use airflow to get a general idea of where it's laying over.

[Duramacr1]

I do have a dyno graph . It layed over at 6500 but it was a pretty hot day and didn’t make much power . Whe temps get colder im sure it will carry the power a little further .

Wow . I guess its been a year since I posted on here . Seems like the forum is slowing down nevertheless I’ll post my new PB for the car. It’s been some time and the car is now making
573/526 on the dyno N/A on pump E. Went from a 3800 stall to 4800 stall and added a GPI electric water pump just recently . Car ran consistent 6.1xx in the 1/8. Raceweight is 3275 and DA was 500.

[Duramacr1]

Still inching bit my bit . The N/A stuff is starting to get frustrating. Anyway I hit another PB but barely .6.07@115 in the 1/8. SBE 600rwp. It is what it is .
