Hi all, just thought I'd put this up for you guys to see how good you are given some facts of what my old cars spec were.

Car> '69 Cuda, pictured left
Weight at the line> 3000lbs
Motor> Stock block 440SP+.030", replacement SP slugs, SP rods, 10:5:1, fel-pro .039 h/gaskets, CC.650"/290@.050" solid FT cam, Team G, Holley 850DP, 2" f/wells, MSD6A, HS roller Rockers 1.5, Template Ported 906's 2.14/1.81 (max 260cfm), External oiling, fully balanced, 38deg total, home built motor.
Tranny> 727 race, 4800 A1 verter
Chassis> Back Halved, L/bars-coil overs, 8.75 w/4.88's, Hoosier 14x32, stock front susp w-Gabriel 90/10's
Fuel> 98 octane leaded

So what do you reckon guys?...I will say the car was sorted (apart from tyre pressure as I've learnt) and ran strong, it was my 10th and last year and the last but 1 run made Drag Racing.

9.90 at 135 1.40 60ft
 
keep 'em coming...... should've said its 1320feet
 
guys we are talking crappy 260cfm iron heads here max flow and a CR of around only 10:1, the motor made nowhere near 600hp n/a, and yes 4.88's was pushing the limits with verter slip, that was proved on the last run.....so what were the numbers with above spec na.
 
seeing as thats close enough,....... it ran 10.71@124.7, 1.47 60ft, previous best was 11.23@118 with dead stock 906's....very next and last run I made I hit it with some N20 and went 9.96@133.9, thats when the 4.88's would've needed changing if I kept on racing as it trapped at 7300, didn't fancy doing that every run in S/G with those 6-pack rods/pistons!!!!
