Question for you street guys running low 14’s

-
Pittsburg- I was looking at her time slips and some of my old ones for my 340 demon- 4 speed. All and all it’s not bad. MPH is right there at the big end. Reaction time is not bad. I looked at the 0-60 and the 1000ft. A little slow but not bad. I wonder what gears are in it. Like 3.23 maybe or is it a single legged (or worn down/ slipping sure grip?

Honestly some minor improvements her or there, but cracking 100 mph is not impossible but needs some attention to get it there.
 
She is going to try to have some of the requested info this weekend. She’s going to try to make one more pass tonight.
 
Well she slowed up a little on her last run compared to second run. Sixty foot got worse all night. She’s closing in on a 100mph run. They have stickers starting at 100 mph to give out to street cars

Those are respectable passes on drag radials. If she is on street radials, they are outstanding.
I was going to say she has 13second sixties and mph now, (after looking at her first slip) and then she proved me right.... and i cant claim it!
And that is a beautiful Demon!

Slower or not, that's a good run. She wasted the faster car. lol
 
The impressive part to me is that she is even running the car at all.
So many people won't run their older muscle cars in fear of hurting them and their value.
And that is a pretty rare and desirable car to boot!
My hat's off to her, and her willingness to take the car out and run it like it was intended when it was new..........
 
All in all I would say it's very respectable , that is one of the quickest small block Mopar packages, I am no Demon authority but I have to believe it was packaged with pretty much the same goodies as my 70 340 swinger plus electronic ignition and Carter TQ both improvements, my point is there's a lot to work with there. I'm very interested to know the rest of the build.
 
Is this just a case of 3.23 gears, slow start & pickin up the mph with all she's got? Also probably spinning a bit

She texted me today and has a bunch of the info from the questions I asked he but hasn’t had a chance to send them to me yet.
 
From the “How To Hook And Launch” book: View attachment 1715750518 Not the be all end all book but I rely on it for what I do and has served me well at my level of track experience. All my times are damn close to almost spot on (except for mph, due to aero)
I remember running 13.8 @104 with no hook and spin. The car should have gone 12.5 or so. 60fts were crap.
 
That car looks sharp pittsburghracer !
Any spare 408’s lying around you could let her borrow ?

Lol. No
She did try to race last Friday but got rained out after one time trial. I’ll try to post up her 1/8 mile pass because I think it’s faster than last time out.
