New 1/8 mile Best with ****** Headers

[TurboRob]

Didn't get to run at a 1/4 track this weekend, but I did get to put the car on the 1/8. It wasn't my best 1/8 ET (stock clutch still slipping quite a bit), but it was consistently running my best mph ever.

60ft 1.71
330ft 4.74
1/8ET 7.24
1/8mph 102.94

My previous best 1/8 was a 7.22 @ 99.8 on a 1.66 60ft. So I think it does in fact show some gain from the headers. Especially with the high mph.

It ran 101.8-102.9 all night. Weather was 68 degrees, just about the same as the last time I ran. I think the computer is starting to adjust for the headers now, since they've now been on the car for about 600 miles. (Tom Welch said I could expect that...guess he was right )

Just thought some of you may be interested in the progress....

very stout figures for a mild combo - some careful thought gone into that - well done.

what type of power adder are you looking at if any? how does that run compare to the 11.18 pass?

mattL - I don't know exactly what you mean? If you are asking if I have a power adder, then no. Just ported heads, T&D rockers, and exhaust. If you are asking if I plan on a power adder, then yes. I plan to build Twin Turbo's for it over the winter.

My 1/8 mile on the 11.18 pass was the timeslip I posted....7.22 @ 99mph. However, at that time the clutch wasn't slipping as bad as it is now.

Hope that helps.

Rob,
How come you went with the ****** Headers (vs Bellanger / Edelbrock / B&B)?
Any problems with the install?
Thanks

I'm a Dealer for ******, and they looked to be excellent quality for a little less money than the Belangers.
There were no problems with the install, but I don't like the fact they have a 2 1/2" collector pipe, instead of 3". I'm going to change this to a 3" next week. For that reason alone, I would probably have went with Belangers if I had it to do over again.
