Mike 57 Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 Finally got the car into the 10s! 1.44 60 ft 6.87 1/8 ET 99.41 MPH 10.83 1/4 ET 118.63 MPH I think I am at the max for the mechanical fuel pump the car was falling off at the big end. There was a head wind but I could feel it running out of fuel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrazyDavey Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 congrats Mike!!! I would agree, that thing has to be pretty thursty these days and a headwind never helps. That ET should be 121-123....very nice 60 foot too... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Burns Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 Well into the 10's! Congrats! What kind of pump do you have? I have this Holley pump in my (540) Camaro. It is well into the 10's as well @ 125+mph. http://www.summitracing.com/parts/HLY-12-454-20/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TommyP Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 YES!!!!! Must have been a great feeling when you looked at that time slip. I'm sure your going to be running faster with a fuel pump upgrade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike 57 Posted November 7, 2011 Author Share Posted November 7, 2011 Thanks for the nice comments guys. The pump is a eddy six valve street pump. I have a 1/2 inch pickup and -8 braided steel all the way to the carb. Been thinking about sumping the tank and putting in an electric pump.

Chevyss Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 Way to go Mike. Those are some awesome numbers. That is my project right now. Sump, all electric, and the SS lines are already there. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Burns Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 I have the same set up- 1/2 pick up and 1/2" to the pump. You don't need the sump! Try the Holley pump before you hack up the gas tank- it is an easy swap and not too expensive. The Holley is rated at 170- the eddy at 110.
