Great car you have there. Still lots on the table. Keep at it and before you know it you’ll be in the 11’s
 
Thanks I hope to get closer to the 12.20's...have to keep it streetable enough for a 1 hour drive to our track. Yes had a passenger in that shot. Was a private track rental for my company so I took my Pop's for a launch. Its hard to describe how it feels and he's half owner. At our track you can bring someone if you don't break 14.00.

Great looking 68 RT Justin! Betting that your Dad enjoyed his ride by the look of the wrinkled MTs and his helmet position. lol
 
Very Nice.
 
Thanks all. Hoping to get out on a cooler night next month and do some tuning. Needs more mph. The converter was supposed to be 3800...could be hurting its numbers a bit.

No, not really, wish I had a better torque converter.
Do you want to share your cam specs?
Great looking car you've got
Sorry the engine builder couldn't remember the cam but its mild suspect 509 range. We got this car much how you see it in a trade for a 650hp small block 4 speed A body. It was a beutiful dart but to fussy on the street plus someone else really wanted it...this car is much more versatile. I do want to go solid stick roller rockers. I heard Hughes is good?

This combo should be mid to high 11 IMO, what tire are you running? How much compression
 
Hi guys, sorry for delay.

I'm running Mickey Thompson pro bracket radials 28 tall x 9 wide, 13-16 psi. It hooks good and does not lose traction at launch. The tires wrinkle and seem to stay glued. I have increased tire pressure to 18 psi and it did spin pretty good st the line. MT tech line told me 13-16psi for MT PBRs....I shift at 5500 rpm and go thru the lights at roughly 6200 rpm.

The car pulls strong thru the 1/8 th but beyond that it seems to lay down. It doesn't pull hard beyond the 1000 foot mark. Its not wimpy, just stops pulling. No misses or sputtering. Throttle response is excellent. The car does not have a cage as of yet. I'm still contemplating whether to install a cage on a real RS vert. I'm not worried about getting kicked out of track yet. I also think I should be mid to high 11s. I get 7-8 psi at fuel regulator and carb seems right on.

Do u guys think the 60 foot time reflects a 11 sec car? I think the cam is small at 509. I used to have 915 heads un ported and it ran 12.20-12.30s. Adding aluminum SEZs and roller rockers, it dropped to 12.07. But, I'm not overly thrilled at 12 00s either.

Currently, I have approximately 11.5 to 1 compression, give or take. I did not actually measure comp. I'm running 039" head gasket, about .010 in the hole at TDC, with 75cc chambers. Race Tec catalogue and tech info puts me at approximately 11.5 to 1 w/ .060 over flat tops.

I have not tried less total timing. But I'll try anything.
