How bout a 'post your 13 second combo' sticky?

[Cranky]

I know there's a lot of people with cars that have smaller engines and even a 318 in a lighter car is capable of going 13's.....from experience I know they can and usually do it without breaking the bank. Would anyone like to see a sticky thread on this?

 

[YY1]

yes

 

[Cranky]

yes

One reply in an hour.......will see how things go over the rest of the weekend.

Yes, the more info the better

Yes, the more info the better

More info is better than no info. It should be a busy section.

I can’t really remember from the 70’s(?) Reset timing,carb tuning, tires(the old ‘stiffwall’ slicks). OE 383/auto,3.23 and a lot of enthusiam.

13-second times are where it's at for the majority here I would think.

Headers and sticky tires got me down to 13.3@107 a few years ago. A little race gas and nothing else but fast feet peddling down the 1/4 mile.

Nitrous & such is not in my DNA.

 

[Budnicks]

why not, it couldn't hurt
maybe bring more traffic to the racers hangout too

 

[Ironbuilt]

I agree, bring the sticky on. 13's are more the norm in the hobby than 10's.

Agree there brother....I can handle electric cut-outs and EFI....but laughing gas is a little too much for me.

Yes, a 13 second combo thread would be great. Much more realistic for most of us.

If you dip into the 12's in that A-100, you're a bad MOFO!!

Oh yeah...I'm bad, I'm really really bad.

There will be video evidence of the event.
