[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 2768284, member: 15054"] Son called me friday night and asked what I was doing. Cleaning my cars. He said that was what he was doing and then he was headed to Thunder Valley to run his Miata. I told him I will join him and run my 1957 4 door 210. HA! I got to make 3 passes with my 1 wheel peel 3.36 geared rear end. Tires are heavy carcass good year wranglers 235-75-15's. 350 standard bore standard crank and rods with flat tops. Ported 601 casting 305 heads 1.84-1.50 valves. Stock Mercury marine cast iron Q jet intake (no porting) Stock replacement mechanical pump stock 5/16 fuel line(full of barnacles) Quadrajet carb. No spacers, open element wix filter. Mid 1970's Nova iron exhaust manifolds Ported. 2.25" exhaust through 2.5" cheapy 20 dollar turbo mufflers 2.5" tail pipes over the rearend and out the back. Engine has a comp 268H ground on a 112lsa with early closing intake lobe. 218@.050 .454" lift.. but not getting that lift as i am running bone stock old GM rockers. Th350 with 2000 stall and shift kit. It gets 17.7 mpg mixed and highway driving. HEI with stock GM components. 91 octane and 225 psi cranking pressure. Triple pass radiator ford flex fan and high volume autozone water pump. 3 pulley serpentine set up (homemade). Enough of the setup. I spun out of the hole on the first pass and when this thing starts spinning it will rev to 6000+ and keep spinning, So i backed off and rolled into it again and the ET was 15.3 Next pass my water temp was higher 190 and heat soaked a bit it ran 14.9 hooking better. Track was packed and no time for a test and tune session as still need to see what shift point turns in best et's. Last pass #3 it ran 14.8 all mph was 92 Race weight was 3755 on track scales. Fun to take the daily driver no matter the ET. [ATTACH=CONFIG]49120[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]49121[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
