Title: New 1/4 Best for the Blk Cat
Post by: 5.8fastcat on September 22, 2010, 11:34:34 PM
Finnally got the Black cat to get down the 1/4 mile

 Ran  1.50 60ft  6.80 1/8 mile and 10.63 @ 126MPH in the 1/4 on motor

 Then turned the bottle on and went for a new best

 with the N20 on 30% out the gate and 100%  2.2 tenths out

 Ran  1.47 60ft 6.25 1/8mile and a 9.76 @ 131 in the 1/4 ran out of gear with the N20 at about the 1K ft mark

Thanks Guys

 The elminator is still settin in the garge been really busy at work.

 Got the short block together  waiting on CompCAm to get the my cam ground and
sent to me.  The heads are together. Got to put the oil pan and pump on then degree
the cam and jam the heads on and the motor in. 

 Hopfully get her running by the mid of Oct.  By then maybe the temp will be cooling
off (good weather for a Turbo car)

The blk car is my old cougar.

 I built a motor for it and dropped in a C4 trans to play with at the track.
 And something for my son to have to run at the track.

Here is a pic of the blk car
