Default New Best ET !!!

Who says that AFR 210's are too big for a 357ci........... :lol:
This is an 11.4:1 357 ci and N/A.

Anyway, raced at the Fastest Street Vette Shootout this weekend, and yeilded some pretty decent results for the first time out with a crappy tune, and a high rpm miss.....

My best ET

60' 1.553 new best
660' 7.133 new best
660' mph 98.96 new best
1320' 11.147 new best
1320 mph 120.78 on the brakes

I dialed a 11.20 and broke out in the finals of the bracket class with a 11.14. My best mph of the event was 126.71 mph.

The DA was 2065' at the time of this run.

AWESOME! That is crankin my friend. I know the feeling!

Your further convincing me of the thoughts I have been having. :leaving:

Are those the competition port AFRs or just 70% cnc? What is your race weight? VERY CURIOUS to both these questions. :cheers


:cheers:

Thanks LT4 ! Well you may have the opportunity to run again this year. There is a possibility of another event in November at the same track.

CFI, thanks. Yes my car is full weight, no stripped car here.

Wow Randy, that head swap really worked out. You've been quiet for a while, i thought something happened to the car.

That's very impressive for 355. What are the rest of the cam specs?

That is a quick C4.

High 10's when the bugs are worked out and weather cools a bit.

Randy, just to clarify, those are not just the AFR "Competition ported" head straight from AFR right? I told the wife when we got back from the race that I have once again scratched going to a blower setup and have decided just to rob your heads off your car one night and use the cash for bail money :D. You definately have a well tuned setup and definately have a ten in the motor if you can get that miss out of there up on the top end.

We will keep everyone posted about a November race!
