Mike 57 Posted November 6, 2011 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
CrazyDavey Posted November 6, 2011 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
7tonemonte Posted November 6, 2011 Posted November 6, 2011 Awesome Mike!! That thing is a beast Quote
72MC Posted November 6, 2011 Posted November 6, 2011 WooHoo Mike , very nice times. Sounds like you know what to get the girl for christmas . - Dave Quote
502ci Posted November 6, 2011 Posted November 6, 2011 WOW!!! That's a big jump into the 10's. After you upgrade the fuel system it will interesting to see where that puts you... Quote
dbreese Posted November 6, 2011 Posted November 6, 2011 WOW!!!! That is haul'n Mike. Great 60' and running the number in a headwind. AWESOME!!! David Quote
cny first gen 71 Posted November 6, 2011 Posted November 6, 2011 Congrats Mike was there ever any doubt you would get there. Quote
zmanabba Posted November 6, 2011 Posted November 6, 2011 Not only did you get in the 10's you are well in to the 10's. wow Quote
Blue502 Posted November 7, 2011 Posted November 7, 2011 That's flying Mike.Nothing like that 1st 10 second ticket.Congrats! Quote
Jared Richey Posted November 7, 2011 Posted November 7, 2011 10.83 falling off, ouch you may be a mid 10 sec car before its said and done. My car hasn't seen the track in a year. Quote
John Burns Posted November 7, 2011 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
TommyP Posted November 7, 2011 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
Mike 57 Posted November 7, 2011 Author 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. Quote
Chevyss Posted November 7, 2011 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
John Burns Posted November 7, 2011 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. Quote
Mike 57 Posted November 8, 2011 Author Posted November 8, 2011 Found a picture of my 10.83 pass on the yellow bullet forum Link It is post #12. Quote
