Re: 92 Bimini Blue - 306, T72, C4, BS3

Nice new ride ... Did you get rid of the Cobra ?

 

Re: 92 Bimini Blue - 306, T72, C4, BS3

went to the track yesterday, Steele.

First time down the 1/4 mile:

9.82 @ 136.8 1.40

Still on the stock block. Bad stuff usually happens on that last 1/8 but it sure was fun running the 1/4 mile.

 

Re: 92 Bimini Blue - 306, T72, C4, BS3

In The Nines!

Hell yeah! That's awesome Mark, congratulations!

 

Re: 92 Bimini Blue - 306, T72, C4, BS3

Thanks Waldo! You get any kills in BG this year?

 

Re: 92 Bimini Blue - 306, T72, C4, BS3

Sure did, I killed the head gasket on the passenger side. It blew to the outside though, so I was able to limp it home without a trailer.

 

Re: 92 Bimini Blue - 306, T72, C4, BS3

I'm trying to get my turbo notch finished. You may not remember me. I had the silver 03 cobra with flames that ran 10.0s. I now have a 91 with just about the same combo. I'm going to try to make it to steele this weekend. I need to see what it can do...

 

Re: 92 Bimini Blue - 306, T72, C4, BS3

Yep I remember. Hows it going? you sell the Cobra?

We will be at Huntsville Saturday for test and tune 12 till dark. Ya'll should come up, would like to see the 91 run. My car will be on kill mode shooting for a 5.99 pass.

 

Re: 92 Bimini Blue - 306, T72, C4, BS3

Got the car running good Mark .. Joey and I looked for you at the NMRA in BG this year . But didn`t know if you made it up there this year . Congrats on the times .

 

Re: 92 Bimini Blue - 306, T72, C4, BS3

Did you not get a video this time? :noidea:

 

Re: 92 Bimini Blue - 306, T72, C4, BS3

I cant make it this Saturday I've got to work. I'll try for the next though.... I could have sworn I saw you @ bowling green this last couple weeks. Your car ran a 9.00 in the quarter.... Or at least I think it was your car...

 

Re: 92 Bimini Blue - 306, T72, C4, BS3

There was a big local race here and we just decided to stick around. I wish we would have made the trip now. Heard there was alot of impressive cars there.

no video but there will be this weekend. You gonna show up?

Nope they look alot alike but his much nicer and much, much faster. I think he is from GA, badass car for sure and drive it anywhere.

 

Re: 92 Bimini Blue - 306, T72, C4, BS3

Put new Strange adj struts and shocks on Friday night and went to the track today to tune them in:

new best 60ft = 1.29

taking the 15 year old Lakewoods off done some good!

 

Re: 92 Bimini Blue - 306, T72, C4, BS3

Subscribing for some 5's in the 1/8th. Make sure to get some film.

 

Re: 92 Bimini Blue - 306, T72, C4, BS3

It went 6.17 @ 113.8 with a 1.40 60 ft just couldnt get the low 60ft again. I think it will go some 6.0's with a good 60. Need a couple more mph's for a 5.

 

Re: 92 Bimini Blue - 306, T72, C4, BS3

A few more lbs of boost should do the trick.

 

Re: 92 Bimini Blue - 306, T72, C4, BS3

update from yesterday:

6.04 1/8
1.35 60 ft
115 mph

9.49 1/4
140.8 mph

If this thing will ever run a 5 sec pass I will consider this build thread done and start a new one with the Dart block 306 that I have waiting in the garage (powerglide will be behind it). The T72 will prob be switched out for an 80 then also.
