This year I have made a few changes to hopefully get into the 11's
First off i purchased and installed an innovative motorsports 02 sensor so i can actually tune the quickfuel SS830 carb I run. This carb has never been jetted or adjusted other than idle mixture and idle speed. It is exactly as it was right out of the box. It is EXTREMELY rich. I welded in the o2 bung and will install and test the air fuel ratio when its a bit warmer outside.
Secondly, i am going to switch from 275/60 15's to 275/50 15's These are a full 2" shorter and should give me some more RPM going thru the traps. Currently i am trapping right at 4700rpm, but my motor pulls hard to 6100-6300 RPM.
If none of that gets me to 11.99 then i have been thinking about a 250 shot of nitrous. I have already purchased the upgraded 3/8" fuel pickup and sending unit which i am going to modify to a full 1/2" pickup tube with return line, although the stock 5/16" fuel line has been fine so far.
I am resistant to the nitrous for various reasons, it is unusable on the street, it will get me kicked out of the local drag strip for no roll cage.
Since i year-round drive the car, and drive it 80+ miles to the track, bolt on the drag radials and make some passes, i did not consider a gear change from the 3:23's i currently run, nor do i want to swap seats out for lighter ones or remove the back seat, or any of that kind of nonsense.
The video link is a test and tune run i made 4 or 5 years ago, no cal tracs, the car spun hard for about 1000 feet finally hooked when i hit 2nd gear.
