106 in the 1/8th...niiiiice.
I was 108 in the 1/4....I wonder if you would have been under 11.0

Cool95vette

I've run it in the 1/4. It ran 10.30's. Would've been quicker but it ran out of gear at 1000 feet.

That is fast! I only have a 434 solid roller with a TKO 600 5 speed.

Nice 60" too! What's the combo?

JIM

Cool95vette

383, solid roller cam, Skip White heads, tunnel ram w/ Holley 450's. 150 shot of nitrous, 4.11 gears. Still pulled 13"-14" of vacuum for the power brakes and headlights.

Is it a common plenum tunnel ram? What tranny and stall. What is your max rpm if you are running out at 1000 feet? I shift into 5th from 1 to 1 4th gear at @135 mph with my 4.11 and 28 inch tall tires

427Hotrod

I wouldn't expect it to run out of RPM with 4.11's unless the rev limiter is set low or a LOT of converter slippage?

What sort of 1/4mile MPH? 130'ish?

JIM

Cool95vette

28" tires, 4.11 gears, th350 with 3200 stall converter. Rev limiter set at 6700 rpm. Shifting @6200 rpm. In the 1/8 I go through the lights at 6000 rpm

Cool95vette

It was 130's

My old 427 Camaro ran 135 MPH with some N20.....up from 118 MPH N/A. Was twisting it pretty hard with the 4.10's and sometimes 4.56's. But it seemed to like it and never died.

I cross the line at 8K in the 'Vette these days with the 555". I sorta cringe when I think about how much stuff is spinning around in there with a 4.25" stroke....but it's been doing it for many years with no issues.

Solid roller ought to have a lot of RPM left in it....

Picking up 25 MPH on back half is fun. When mine was N/A it gained 30 MPH and it was fun to run folks down on the big end! With boost it gains 40+ MPH.....

Your car is absolutely amazing! Picking up 40+ mph on the back half is just insane! People watching your car make a run have to be in shock. Keep up the great work!

I'm pretty sure Jim's car is also close to 200 in the mile, correct me if I'm wrong...

My friend Al, who does not post, just had a nice outing in his C3. He's not a spring chicken.



Still has an independent rear. I'll try to get a picture of the car.

427Hotrod

That's hooking well!!

I tell everyone it's a 1/4 mile race...we're not done yet..I'll be along in a little bit...LOL

Now...tell folks about that monster of yours!!


JIM

Yours is the real monster! Again, I just can't get over what you have accomplished using a manual trans!
