fired up the chicken today and moved it around.



Also found this video on the camera from October. It’s cleaner than the phone video I’ve posted previously.

I talked to the TECH guy at VP Race Gas and he confirmed to me that if I take 2.5 gallons of VP 110 and 2.5 gallon of Premium 91 Octane pump gas I will end up with 100 Octane Gas and he said it doesn't hurt anything to mix the 2 together.

I called the other day as well, we were using c12 and mixing it ,he said if was fine.
they have so many blends , witch one is best for the price. I'm not sure how available they all are up here in Canada , Sunoco sells some too
for about the same price
were thinking of buying a big barrel for the summer fun , I'm just nervous of having a big thing of gas ,will need to get a flame cabinet
and see what insurance says.

I bought a 55 gallon drum of Sonoco race gas. I use a Harbor Freight manual pump to get the fuel out. Discovered soon thereafter the timing was way too far advanced in the 421 Tri-power in my wife's GTO. I've been using it to blend with 93 octane no ethanol pump gas for track day for 3 years.

Love your RR. We have called our's the "Chicken" since buying it new in '69. What ET did you run vs the Hellcat? I did not see it in the video nor the post. What did the Hellcat run? I'm guessing you were around 10.95? We're hoping to get our N/SS car to the first race next Saturday. Woke up to more snow this morning...UGH!!

He widdled the hellcat down to 11.0 something after a pass or two. Hellcat was stock other than drag radials and something with the air intake. That's all I could get out of the roadrunner that day was 11.0's also. Converter is a bit tight compared to the one I broke. I don't have any of his slips because they only give you your lane on NO ET. Here's mine from that day.

 

[Frustration]

Thanks for posting. What gears are you running in the RR? It runs almost identical to mine.

 

[Frustration]

Here's my book from the last time at the track.

 

[68 HEMI GTS]

4.10 with a 28" Hoosier.

This is the best pass it's made through the mufflers with the other converter.

 

[68 HEMI GTS]

Those 11.0 pass is pretty much identical to mine!

 

[HEMI-ITIS]

Seems we all set the timing by the *** dyno30* felt GREAT in the street.
When I went to the track I took out 2* per run starting at 30* and each pass on pump gas it picked up till it fell off a tick at 24*.So now I know with the street tune that 25/26* is the sweet spot.Real happy with a mid 9 at over 140 on pump

how much h.p. you have , dyne tested ?
I yet to see a new customers barracuda he lowered the compression on it when they rebuilt it and on the Dyno he has 460
on pump gas , but he restored the car stock ! and doesn't drive it!
he has manual steering and drum brakes all around. he saw my car and well I think he is back next fall for a disc brake upgrade
and p.s.
I told him now is the time to drive it , cause your Kids who are 20 don't want it, they want a wrx or evo
he said they told him to sell it cause he doesn't drive it.there you go . you here people saving the car for their kids who have no interest
I grew up on smokey and the bandit bullit and dukes of hazard . they grew up on ( proud to say never saw one) fast and furious
