I was hammering the lights that day..... .019, .007, and a -.022

glad you guys enjoyed the videos !

 

I should say so.....

Really enjoyed that burn out, that jump off the line and the win. Only part missing is the time and speed. Couldn't make it out in the video.

Those times are great!! Very nice job on the video and getting it down the strip.


I was looking for the times as well.

 

Donny mentioned that he red-lighted on one run and I think that was the run.

Clock says -0.25

Regardless of the jump, Donny's car hauled ***!

I agree. My 69 327 / 300hp will flat out smoke the tires. Dump the clutch at about 3500 and floor it. Will smoke through 2 gears almost 3!
My 66 with a pooch 305 Z28 motor will smoke them too. All with radials.
I haven't been in a 327 with a clutch that I couldn't smoke the tires.
My 327/350 horse 68 with turbo 350 will break the tires loose with a stock converter. I think you are bogging down a little.

 

Thanks guys for all the replies. The tires are brand new radials and this is a numbers matching one owner original car so although I have tried somewhat I have not dumped the clutch at 5000 rpm. My old 1970 350/350 with 3:70 gears was just so easy to do burnouts. I still am having a timing issue and as soon as I get it figured out I will see where I stand. I know it pulls great at the high rpms and does not lay over anywhere near 5500rpm. Never had a car with 3:36 gears and this is probably the issue. Anyway I am not wanting to do burnouts all the time. Was just wondering if I had some HP lying around thst I could pickup with a carb tune and timing correction. Thanks for all the interesting responses.

 

This picture demonstrates the footprint of my original 1967 spare. There's barely 4" of bias ply tire touching the road.

 

Nice Video Donny.My 65 with the LT-1 will light the tires in 1st 2nd and a healthy chirp in 3rd.

 

My first car was a 56 BelAir. Had a one-legged 4.11 rear and 3-speed. It wouldn't hardly chirp the tires until I installed a rebuilt clutch. Did great, then. I am thinking you may have a tired clutch, and it is slipping just enough to bog the engine.
