man cepx thats smooth, i noticed it does not jolt like i've seen
some with a transbrake where the the tires bundle up at launch.
also is that a bbc? what are the specs on the cam? sounds very
nice not too much lift, the low end is strong, very nice, after
i saw the vids i ran out my front door on to the street and
went, "vvvaaaaaaaaarrrooooooooooomwwwwhaaaaaaaa"
now i have skid marks, ha haaaaaaa :lol: :D :lol:

CP- I like the vids!! Good launches.... looks like it leaves good.

man, I need to get back to working on mine, april is just around the corner and its gonna be time to head the track. nice launches!

Thx for the comments.
All these runs were footbraking, I have yet to try the transbrake.
Maybe this year I'll run it a few times in super pro.

Charles, is that a ladder bar car? Looks like a fun ride. What did it run?

Curtis

THAT'S A COOL LOOKING CAR

HEY CEPX,you got a bad ass ride there! That tranny sounds real smooth shifting.Nothing like the trannys of thr 60s and 70s.FISHMANJOE

Yes, it has a ladder bar set-up>
Last year it ran 6.0's and 5.80's at my little country track which is short by a few on old slicks with a slight spin after the launch. I'm shooting for 5.90's this year with new stickys and a tune-up.
Thx again for the compliments guys :oops:
Charles

Yes its a 496 BBC > The cam is a lunati solid roller with> 722/722 lift, 316-320 duration & 110 lobe seperation.

Charles,
That is one baddddddd '69! It must be a blast to launch in that thing!

That must be a pretty popular/good cam. I think bjuice had that one or similar to it in his 511 . He was in the 5's with his.

:D looks good!!!!!!

No way I could drive my car footbraking if I had a transbrake...hell I couldn't wait to try mine out...I tested it at home. :D

I love those old camaros good looking ride.

Here is a short little vid a friend of mine took with his cell phone of my old nova.

Couple great look'in passes there Iceman!

Yeah its the same cam as what Bjuice had in his mighty 511. Great cam, my buddy Landon has the same cam in his Black 71 496bbc nova, it hauls the mail too.


Well Tod I'm caught between a rock and a hard place, I have no delay box in the car and I run in a footbrake class, I do use the trans brake allot though, to back up. Cp

Pro tree BRAKE?? mine has a COAN brake in it and I can back up without engaging it. I run PRO rather than Super Pro. You can use a trans brake but you gotta bottom bulb no delay boxes allowed.

Yeah Tod, I wished they had a no box class here so I could use the dam thing but they dont, just footbrake and super pro. They do run a heads up 6.0 class ocassionally at Holly Springs raceway In north Ms that runs off a protree - I'm thinking of doing that a few times this year.
Later Cp

That would be fun. I hate bracket racing but that's all there around here.
