View Full Version : my dream
well a few of you know my dream has always been to someday go 10.90
well first time at track
new motor
no trans brake
test and tune
shifting at 6500
10.69
has a bog off footbrake, carb is setup for trans brake
and on the rev limit before finish line
passes were
10.69
10.72
10.75
10.63
10.67
all runs were at 128 mph, except first pass with 7300 chip which was 126mph
my wife ran her fastest 13.86 and my friend andy who is on this board, ran mid 11's with his s10 truck, to me that was a perfect weekend
we all had a blast and my dream of 10's finally came true
my engine builder also was there and checked the valve lash, hot before I ran
IT WAS BAD ASS!!!!!!!!!

Thats GREAT!
BUT?
When you get the BOG Straightened out,the 60's will be in the High 1.40's Range and the E.T's with be DOWN in the LOW 10's,like Teens or 20's!
Then you KNOW Whats NEXT...................................9's. :lol:
HAVE FUN!!!

I agree with BBCHEVY there is more there for sure. Wait til you let go of the trans brake button at 5 grand. :P
Just curious what was your fastest ET/ 60' with your old set up?

Way to go Mark. The brake will take care of the bog off the line. You'll love the brake. But hold on buddy. Yeah everything will pick up. 60 ft and E.T when you use the brake. Happy for ya Mark. Now go and have fun. You deserve that.

x2 on the brake, You'll be surprised how much it picks up the 60 foot and fun factor.

...when you start two stepping the brake and leaving hard based on your converter etc.....Understand when it starts hooking its gonna start finding weak links in your drive train...Not trying to sound discouraging just letting it be known a foot brake set up will not hold up for long going to a transbrake. a few things that comes to mind that is a Must for running a transbrake safe as you can is. replace tranny and rearend slip yokes with Billet yokes...an appropriate HP rated Moly drive shaft for your set up with 1350 u joints, a Good 3rd member housing (if running a 9 inch) good (Aluminum) pinion support, a PRO-GEAR....AND NOTHING LESS THAN A good 35 spline axle.
below is a company that builds good quality Moly shafts at a reasonable prices....they will set up the 1350 u joints etc also carries the Billet Slip yokes much cheaper then Most....they also balance the shaft..i DO NOT think you will beat their price for the Quality shaft, etc......i have personally run one in a 1,000+ hp car on a transbrake at 3300lbs...
( they will ship top you as well)

Yep Brian aint shiitin, you'll find every weak link in your drivetrain with a quickness using a brake for the first time, be mentally prepared and be careful dude, leaving off a brake aint nothing like footbraking.
