Boise 2004 I finally installed a roll cage and took it to the Halloween Classic in Boise. This was the first time I’ve ever run the car out without lifting and it ran an 11.10@124! Who would of thought 4100 pounds of car can go that fast! It was a rush, the difference between 110 and 124 is huge. I’m sure that with tuning, tire pressure adjustments and shock settings I would’ve got in the 10’s but all I did was drive it. |

September 2003 Update I finally hit the 11’s, after adding a secondary fuse box to run the computer, ignition and distributor the car jumped from 12.0’s to an 11.85@115! Since I don’t have a roll cage I couldn’t pursue a better et, instead I had to close the exhaust cutouts and pull 5 degrees timing. Next year I might have a roll cage so I’ll see if I can better the 11.85. The new fuse box gave me .6 more volts and obviously more amps. |

May 2003 Update I got the car down to 12.06 but with the new Yank converter I just cant get traction. My 60’s are still 1.85’s with severe wheel spin. I changed my lower bars to SSM lift bars, this stopped the wheel hop but didn’t help the spinning. I dropped the timing down to 12 degrees between 1500 and 5000 RPM and it really didn’t help. I got was too aggressive converter! |

Sep 28 2002 Update I finally got out of the 12.3’s, I ran a 12.29 and a 12.26@114, the 60’ was 1.886. I‘ll be getting a SuperYank 3500 stall converter for next year, this should get me into the 11’s even with the BFG Drag Radials.. I wanted to stay away from a roll cage but it looks like I’ll have to so I can keep up with my wife’s 67 Camaro! |

This was the first time out on e.t. night with the Chevelle. It ran pretty good but the wideband O2 indicated that I was running too lean. The sportsman class I’m in has a cap of 13.00 even though I ran 12.62 in the time trials, so I wasn’t able to do more tuning since I only got one time trial in. In elimination’s I had to let off so I wouldn’t break out of the 13.00 bracket. The corrected altitude was between 7900 and 8100 feet! It was terrible. So with a little more tuning it should be in the lower 12’s. Not too bad with a stock stall converter and drag radials. |
