Hey Guys, just thought I'd share my 1/8th mile ET differences after swapping out the 8 3/4 with 3.91s to a Dana 60 with 3.54 gears. Also added a 6 point roll bar but deleted the carpet. So, maybe I added 50 lbs total? Still have front and rear bench seats. The track didn't have scales.
The first time slip is my best pass ever at the same track in October in good air. went 7.48 with a 1.54 60 ft time.
The second time slip is yesterday.... also in good air. First time out with 3.54 geared Dana 60 addition of roll bar deleted carpet. All other things remain unchanged. Went 7.59 with a 1.59 60 ft time.
I drive this car a lot on the street so I am really happy with only giving up 0.11 in the 1/8th mile. May have been less if I could have run the 1/4 mile.
The last pic is of this run. I once again beat this Pontiac 455 with gutted interior, no hood, no inner fenders, geared 4.10. Super nice guy, but I think he was embarrassed.
