A little update on my progress....>>>VIDEO ADDED<<<

Haven't been saying much.......but, the car is finally running properly after being plagued by a few different issues with ignition, valvetrain etc.....

Last weekend was my first full weeekend of running full out, and actually getting some good data to move forward running in the All Motor class up here.

The motor is an A-headed 515 CI, and I run over 3000 lbs...

So far the car the car responded to lash / carb / timing changes, with an 8.88 @ 155.6 off the trailer, and on my last pass for the weekend it ran a 8.80 @ 157.

D/A was 3000-3200 both days.

This is with the SV1 carburetor.

The DATA,

Stall speed is 5000......should be 6400-6600...... 60 ft is 1.28 right now....
Trap rpm in the 1/4......7400 rpm...should be 8000+...

Once I get the stall/gears right, I see no reason it shouldn't be in the 8.50's at 3000 ft, and 8.30's in the fall when the air gets better.

Thats all for now......

SWEET !!

Thats doin the Boogie woogie

VERY NICE .....she sure is making some hp up high !!!

Yes it is.......its very lazy the first 330, but it pulls like a freight train in the middle of the track, and picking up 34 mph out the back 1/8th.

Guess I got to get with Lenny, and get the stall loosened up down low....

Seems in another thread you stated the converter was way loose? Which style converter did he send you?

would you mind posting all the increments for both those passes

Yes I did,

I have the line lock and transbrake hooked to my ARC control panel. If I dont turn the switch on to power those up, well, you know what happens........and yes, it was to the wood with NO load...dumb mistake...

Thank goodness it was way rich when this happened.


Nick, the increments are at home, but from memory:

1.29 60 ft, 5.69 1/8th @ 122, 8.88 @ 155.6

1.28 60 ft, 5.65 1/8th @ 123, 8.80 @ 157.

Good job Hugo. Where you going....Grand Bend? Shoot me a PM next time you go and I'll see if I can meet you there. By the way did I miss something did you get a different ride or just painted it? Again good job

No, TMP for the rest of the year.

As far as the ride, both.............due to rules/weight breaks in the class for 81/older body style, I decided to come out with an 1980 / pace car clone. In March, I started with a bare shell, and the finished result is a complete new car/drivetrain.

I'm still looking for a nice black interior, and had to use my 87 black interior for now which is in really good shape.

Here is a link to some more pics.

Man them are some great numbers! what's the compression, HP and TQ numbers? If you don't mind...

The numbers are not really good........but hopefully in the next little bit they will look like this, as it has the power to do it,

1.22 60 ft, 5.40's @ 128 , 8.50's @ 160

Compression is 14.5 -1 , can't tell you the power numbers, but guessing it will make around 1000+ hp when dialed in.

Sweet ride man, runs like a scalded dog too....

Thanks Guys!!


C4 Lol........no, its an ATI powerglide with 1.96 first gear. But as of right now I sure miss the launch of the C4, and pulling 2nd in the air!!!

very nice... whats the bore & stroke?

Damn that sounds like fun!!

I will be posting the complete build once I get the stall / gears where they should be.....so there is some good data to go by.

This motor is actually a nitrous motor, and I'm running it N/A. Its really a nice bracket motor, and has a ton of room for improvement in the piston/valvetrain area for more power. Something to look forward to this winter..

Quick run down:

A460 block - 4.615 bore
CS Billet crank 3.85 stroke
GRP 5001 rods 6.800
Diamond custom pistons - 728 grams - lightened to 664 grams - trend pins - 173 grams
Total seal gold ring pkg
Old tfs A-460 heads - 2.400/1.900 titanium valves - flow 452-300 @ 0.800 (single 45 degree valve job)
Cammotion billet roller - 284/301 @ 0.050, 825/779 lift
New style tfs single 4500 intake
SV1 1400 cfm carburetor

Currently running on Klotz 118 fuel. Im sure there is more to be had on Q16...


I guess the most satisfying aspect is, I built this motor here at home myself.

The scariest part was, going thru the 1/4 the first time shifting at 8000+, praying it stayed together........but I'm over that now....

That has got to be one of the best looking 4 eyed foxes that I have seen. Nice stance all the way around annd the sleeper brown color does the car justice. One of those cars that if you glanced at it you would assume it is a 12 second car ......... Nice.

Seeing your cars on here the last few years, and the attention to detail, I take that as a huge compliment. Thankyou!!




Here are a few video clips from a few weeks back.........back to back passes.

What size tire are you running in the back?

P.s. I like your car Nice and clean look to it.
