Finally got around to taking the duster to the track after finishing it back in the summer of 2010. I didn't have slicks since i wanted to get a rough baseline of what the car could do. I was running about 10psi in the m/T sportsman tires and was getting:
2.2 60ft
5.8 330ft
9 1/8 mile
I couldn't run full out for 1/4 mile since my cutoff switch doesn't have alternator wired to it so technically doesn't work and lug nuts aren't safe so i was practicing launching.
Car has 3.91 gears, 408 stroker motor with 750cfm holley, 3500 stall, 727 rev man body, and other things (look at my info to see it all).
One thing that I had a problem with is when i would burn out in second gear (since first gear doesn't have engine breaking) and i would stop suddenly the would die. I think its due to I have jet extensions on the secondaries but if you guys think its something else please let me know.
In all it was a fun night. Last pass of the night I ran a 13.4 at 110mph spinning off the line hard. Next time around once i fix a few things I'll be going with slicks.
