Well its still the stock block but piston 7 broke off a piece of the ring gland so, I rebuilt it before it could do more damage. I was on a budget so I went with high compression and a little bigger cam at 237/243 112lsa +4.

Congrats on the run. For those of us who can't relate to 1/8 mile ET I found a conversion chart. According to the chart your run would fall somewhere between 11.31 and 11.39. The chart appears to be reasonably ball park based on my personal runs.

Do you have the site? Seems fairly accurate. Looking at some recent timeslips, I found one where my 1/8 was 7.22 and 1/4 was 11.37.

There isnt any 1/4mi tracks out in SoCal open to the public anymore, just California Speedway once in a while but the DA there is 2500-3500ft. Irwindale may be only 1/8mi but track is 300ft above sea level so thats my best way to meter what my true 1/4mi times would be. If I was in NJ I'd be a rocket. Lol, I wish.
