Owner Comments:
Ran Super Chevy Show on April 23 & 24, 2005.
Fastest truck had been before was 11.77 @ 113mph with 358 SBC on motor. So
I had that dialed in and broke out with an 11.71 @ 112mph. Had one more
chance, so dialed in 11.70. Cut an awesome light, .0156 from perfect.
Other car was a faster car, but cut a crappy light, .1750. Looked back and
I had the other car covered, so let off 200' before finish line and coasted
through, figuring I would win and go to next round...didn't happen. I ran
a 11.6846 @ 109.17mph...BROKE OUT, ARGHHHH!!! I Should have stayed in it
to see what it would have ran. The truck was popping on top end, which is
a sign of valve springs needing to be replaced. I had 670 AFR valve
springs with 630 lift cam and 1.6 roller rockers, so pushing them valve springs
to their limits. I just installed new Comp Cam valve springs good to 700
lift, so good to go for next race.
