What will it run? New 572 build

[71Demon540]

Been workin with my engine builder/step dad on getting his new engine in his car and ready to race. After a couple years of gathering parts, machine work, and all the preparation that goes into a high caliber engine build, the engine is finally done, in the car, fired, and ready to race. So what is it going to run?

1964 Plymouth Fury (I know it’s not an a body)
3385lbs race ready
4.56 gears
31.25x12.2W-15 phoenix drag slick
727 Torqueflite 2.45 first gear
8” Turbo action 6700 stall converter
Footbrake car
Caltrac rear suspension with menscer shocks
Torsion bar front suspension with santhuff front shocks from Marty Rinehart

New engine is a 572” wedge
14.94:1 compression
Indy aluminum block
440-1 heads
Jesel 1.7 rockers
285/296 @ .050
.825/.800 gross lift
111 LSA
Indy single plane intake
Bob Book racing dominator w/ 1” HVH tapered spacer
4.500” 8 counterweight crower forged crankshaft
Cp Carrillo 7.150” steel rods
4.500” bore custom diamond pistons gas ported lightened skirts coated
.043/.043/3mm rings
Gapless top ring Napier 2nd ring
Jesel belt drive
Charlie’s oil pan
2 1/8”x4” hooker super comp headers
Moroso 4 vane enhanced vacuum pump

Old setup was very similar but smaller engine. Was a 540 with 4.500 stroke and 4.3750 bore. Other small differences but not worth mentioning. Car has been in the 5.70s many times with a 5.74 best @ 119.xx MPH.

This Sunday we are going to a track rental at our local track to get the car down the track.

So the question is, what are predictions on what it will run?

That would be awesome!

 

[9secRR]

i can see 5.50's, everything is fresh. either way it's a fast ride!

 

[fishmens67]

Easy 5.50's high 40's

 

[71Demon540]

Man if it goes as fast as you guys are predicting, we will both **** a brick lol. We figure 5.60s is a realistic goal.

I didn't know he is your stepdad? I'm excited to see it run well and good luck. It's gotta (gonna) run low 5.6's or even a high 5.5!? Keep us updated.

Thanks Sean. He isn’t actually my step dad lol. It’s more of an inside joke. He calls me his adopted step son. And our team all calls me junior and refers to him as my step dad cause I spend so much time hangin out and workin with him.

Yep, thats my guess too

No guess from me other than ……. If it isn’t too much of a handful off the line……. Then a new best.

Either way……. Love the pic!!

What is the cage certified for?
If 8.50 I think it will be pushing that limit.
Might as well tell your step dad to put the same scoop as your dad's road runner then it will run 5.30s

You guys are pushing it, little tail wind and you're going to be to fast lol

Ya we like to push it lol. But we should be good. Being only 1/8 mile, we won’t need the 7.50 cert for quite a while. Hell I think 8.50 is good to 5.25 in the 1/8

Oh, yeah that's a ways away. What do you need to get that, 200 - 300 shot of nitrous?

Probably something like that. That is the beauty of bracket racing. Just change the dial and send it haha
