Default New Best time 1/8m

I took my truck to the track lastnight and it ran pretty good I want to think, My 60' is still bad but it went 1.85 60' and it ran 7.87 at 88mph. That was at 10# and A/F is I think rich running at 10.8 the whole way. I just need to loosen up my converter alittle. Its a 6.0 stock crank and rods and bored 30 over with good pistons bone stock heads, What do you guys think, should I be alittle quicker or does that sound right?

I believe a 7.8 would go around 12.0-12.2 1/4 area, someone correct me if i'm very far off?

Sounds like it's running very strong for a EC and 10psi. Nothing really "wrong" with 10.8 a/f, might pickup a little in the low to mid 11's a/f's though. I'd say well done man.

Very respectable.

Rob is correct 7.7-7.8 = 12.0-12.2.

I got a set of Chevy K5 blazer wheels with some used 315 65 15, Alittle overkill but they were free so I throw them on. My 60' is only a 1.85

That tire will allow you plenty of room to grow into them.
