I did, but results were not what I was hoping for... I put my slip up in the 'Nothing Special' post by Marlin in Minn
13.004 @ 110.24 on a 2.128 60'
Going again next weekend to try and knock that 60' down!
You taking it easy until the 12-bolt comes in?

·Yes, partly due to necessity and party due to not having any time to even drive the car right now much less spend a day at the track.CamTom12 said:
I'm chin deep in baby stuff and work right now. Plus I came down with a cold and didn't get anything done this weekend that I wanted to.
I'll be lucky to find a free day to put the 12 bolt in at this rate.

That sucks man. I hope you feel better soon!
New rule: You can't use the baby as an excuse until she's OUT of her Momma!
If it comes in when I'm in town I'll drive over and do the swap for you if you promise to run me (even though you'll smoke me, haha)

Put the new fuel pump in while you're at it, LOL.I may schedule Reginalds, but it just depends on when. I don't like doing major jobs in my garage because the home owners assoc. can get whiney about it if the door is up.
Next house will have a rear entry garage and a privacy fence.

hahaha, I've never done a fuel pump. We'll have to get Steve-O over there to help with that. I don't imagine it'd be too tough though, just a little hole in the gas tank, some wiring, and securing the new pump somewhere.
And you get to supply the pizza/beer this time, hahaha
Almost every house in the Dallas area has rear-entry garages, I had my motor in 3-4 pieces (the old Rx7) in the garage for about a month while I waited for some parts to come in, then did reassembly from 8pm to 11pm-12am for about a week. Then tuned the secondary ports a little bit (they worked off of exhaust backpressure, hehehe) during around the same hours... running an open header. In the Texas heat of course the garage door was open
It's a good deal, I'd definately look into it for the next house

Id like to hit up the track here really soon. I know with street tires and stock rear suspension ill still be in the 13's, I am just wondering what the MPH will look like.
Last year i ran 13.2 at 104.9 on street tires, heavier tremec trans, cobra intake,GT cam, unported gt40 heads, and junkyard 120K mile 302
this year i have home ported heads w/ 3 angle valve job, fresh fully built 306, cobra intake, and a lighter T5 tranny w/ poly mounts.
The car has alot more steam, but im running a smaller cobra cam in the shortblock. the cam makes it run out of juice around 5K, we will see how it does with this setup soon then i can look into cam options, even though i love the drivability of the Cobra cam.

·If I knew the 12 bolt would be in by then I'd go too but its not looking likely at this point.Gabez28 said:I'll probably wait it the 28th and hit up BB and see how this new converter and gears do.
