Buford T Justice -- the full tour

[Scott Liggett]

An improvement of over a second is good. I know your pain with gearing and gear spread, but I have to add my slow ass granny shifting too.

[dulcich]

Great job, Brian! That is a really good improvement.

i fergot you still had the 3.08 in there, i was thinking you already had a gear and a limited slip

[Dan Barlow]

P.S. What gear you plan on going to?

[Dan Barlow]

Picked up 1.2 seconds over the previous best. 14.66/94 was best lap of the day. Not too bad for 4,000lbs with me in it and a lazy 3.08 gear. New components coming next week and gears coming at some point this year, too.

Congrats, your faster than my trans am was when it was stock . That's not sarcasm either. I'm running a 3.23. That was all she had. 15 flat. I need to take it out again with the LT1 / T5 / Carb w/ high rise intake that will pull till it flys apart ( been to 6,000 ) Beats that TPI that ran out of air at 4600.

[Brian Lohnes]

Yeah, it proved that a tall first gear coupled with a crappy rear end gear ratio and wide gear splits all suck balls for drag racing...especially when you don't have a lot of torque. Not so sure I learned anything but it sure played out in real life like it did on paper!

[Deaf Bob]

Chad had a good point when i talked to him today. That 1.2 seconds is purely power because the car has the exact same rear end gear and transmission ratios as it did when I ran it earlier. The TH350 runs were a horrid waste of time. LOL

Nooo... Runs with the 350 were "education runs"... You learnt something, right?

so if I remember, by 89 they had TBI in them? Sumped tank is what I'm wondering about...

oh and I just saw your new time, 1.2 seconds is HUGE.

And the verdict is?

[Brian Lohnes]

Andy not blow it up nuke...Atomic EFI nuke (then a
Bottle with a blue hue may arrive on the scene)

[Beagle]

tell me you put a loop or two on it and I just don't remember?

[andy30thz]

and then....we're going NUKE!

YOU BETTER NOT DAMNIT!! This would make a spectacular tow truck mill!!

[BOOOGHAR]

New stuff. Hope to pull motor apart next week.

my neck hurts now
