Cool congrat's man. I have a couple question's for ya. Is this a foot brake car or are you using a TB? And what is your peak HP#? You can send me PM if U like. I am just curious because I am building a 460sbc my self and hoping to make 900hp and run some 5.80's or better. Oh one last question..........How much does your car weigh with you in it?

Its a foot brake car, I use a TH350 with an 8" ATI 4500 stall converter and leave at 2000RPM. It made [email protected], Im not sure what the car weighs now, Im thinking it weighs 3300Ibs with me in it, it use to weigh 3270 w/driver and my old stock block 415sbc, and I know the dart block is heavier than a stock block.

Man that is some good number's. Thank's for the info. Why are you running a foot brake and not a Tran's brake? Is that because the class you run in wont allow it? Or is that some thing you prefer to do? I am asking all the question's because I am just trying to get a feel for what I am going to be running. Again thank's for all the info.

Peak hp has little to do with why a N/A combo goes fast.

Maybe I miss understood what you mean, but he is running a N/A combo himself. And yes I know the way his car is set up is different. But at
least I will have a general basline to what my car "MIGHT RUN".

I like foot-braking ,and the class I run once a month allows the use of a trans-brake, I prefer not use it.

That's cool. But one last question for ya. Are you running a index class or bracket class?

 

[BlownChevyII]

Yea it ended my day a little early, but it was no biggie. I was there to tune on Dons car anyway. If it had been race day I would have fixed it there but I was only testing a few things and didn't feel like laying under the car to put a band aid on it. I'll pull the whole line and just make a new one. I'm just glad it started sawing throught when I pulled the chute and slowing down v's powering down the track, could have been real ugly.

needin pics please

 

[mrhockey]

Which car was it?

 

[nova10sec]

75/80

75/80 is a dump. Yep I said it. Read my post on the 75/80 and you will see what I mean. Trans let go on the 1-2 shift, blew the hub, took out the case, the blanket saved my A>>>. It caught big chunks of steel headed for my A...

I had good luck with Lupo in the past going to give him a shout on Monday. A guy out of Baltimore just did this one 7 passes ago...

 

[MiniTubbedNova]

Frank Lupo is a nice guy. I drove to his shop to pick up my converter. He is located just before MD State Line on Newark-Elkton Road. He'll treat you right
