Title: Day of the Drags '06 Post by: SRVLIVES on March 05, 2006, 04:33:33 AM Went to a private track day at WSID (which will hopefully become an annual event) and took some pics, the following will be of interest to some here.
(http://tinyurl.com/zpr82) (http://tinyurl.com/kwpel) 202 running triple 2" SU's with a claimed 220hp. Ran consistant 13.3's Rest of the pics are here. http://photobucket.com/albums/v383/SRVLIVES/Day%20of%20tne%20Drags/ Title: Re: Day of the Drags '06 Post by: fccool59 on March 05, 2006, 09:14:09 AM 13.3 is pretty good, I wonder whats inside that motor

Did you notice the extent of the mods to passenger side firewall to get those triple 2" SU's to fit. I was looking at the photo of the FX fitted with a small block & notice his induction set up of Dual sidedraft webers. This is the setup I have been looking at, is a Inglese manifold adaptor that bolts to a 4 barrel manifold to accept the daul webers. VERY NICE.

I really dig this 1. (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v383/SRVLIVES/Day of tne Drags/IMGP1328.jpg) I thought about booking a spot, but it was a bit too pricey for me. Looks like a cool day though. Glad it didn't rain. Thanks for the pics.

Your right about 13.30 been quicker that some v8 fc's. At the last Nostalgic drags there was a blown 350 fc & I think his best was mid 14's. 13.30 is bloody fast & it would shock more than a few who lined up against it.

I don't get it, you build a car, someone at an event shows an interest and mentions he has an FC, and that's it! No back and forth, no, "So, what's in yours?"... nothing!! ::) Rant over.

VERY NICE Troy's a very nice guy, I think some of you may already know him? Ran consistant 14.7's all day... very cool car Title: Re: Day of the Drags '06 Post by: fccool59 on March 05, 2006, 10:15:27 PM yeah srvlives, Ive crossed heaps of guys in the pits like that, must be nerves or top secret development on the red motor.
Finding out what too do with a red motor for street and strip was hard, everyone with a good idea of what to do is a silent bob and everyone who wants to give advice has no idea. I hope my motor works out ok but I will be cheering if its in the 13's |
