The car was 3300lbs with me in it and ready to go. 446 inch B-1 motor with a single stage fogger. 29.5 x 10.5 W tires. Stock rails and floorpans. Ladder bars and coilovers. Best 60ft, 1.17. Best 1/8 mile ET, 5.21. Best 1/4 mile ET, 8.19. These runs were made years ago. The car has not run since 99....I think. The motor was really a terrible combination. Big bore, short stroke, in a tall deck block(could not get anything else) The rod/stroke ratio was horrendous and the piston was basically parked at TDC and BDC for a lot of crank degrees. Not a good thing on big loads of nitrous. A miracle it ran like it did.
Monte
This was a guy's combo that I know. He ran in the old KOS series looks like it could still be competitive in E/S. |

| If you guys are waiting for the Mopar guys to post first well....I have. So what do you think, its BS, too slow, too fast, I obtained my info from Novaman. I will tell you for sure Novaman is not the source and Monte is pretty reliable. Some of you guys may know him he works for NOS and goes to most all the big Street car races. |

| Monte is out of Alabama. The car he raced in KOS was a 68 GTX. Seems like a super guy and knows how to make a Nos car work. I really wanted to run in T/S but E/S may actually be a better fit for the equipment I own. The other thing is that the times posted were bests which are the exception rather than the rule. But sounds promising. |

| John I am what I would consider better than average on a sportsman tree foot braking. But the transbrake and protree are going to be something that I will have to adapt to. You snooze you loose. |

| On a .400 tree set with .225 of roll out I will hit .475 pretty consistantly. Probably won't set the world on fire but with a car thats in the hunt performance wise, I hope it will get the job done. |

.470's would be good, most of the time, BUT sometimes it's not enough, you'll learn who can nail the tree and who's more conservative. |

| 26 inch tall tire, just break the stage beams with them. The instant you see anything let go of the brake. Puts me in the .420-.430 range most of the time. Unless I'm not thinkin about what I'm doin. |
