DA is density altitude, to be honest I'm not sure about SP.

I might add, look at the wind.  That was a "Head wind", who knows might have got that 130 if it was calm.

On the time slips, what is SP and DA?


Lawrenceville, GA

Congratulations tim from us all! I think we all need to put it in perspective, you built this truck in a very proffessional manner and very short time, went to the salt passed tec, ran the truck and did actually compete! A great achievment from you, family and other y block guys.

These are the timing slips from our last day, Mon., after the head and manifold change.

My best timing slip,  close to perfect run.

second run on Mon. set the timing to 40* btdc from 35* and see what happens.  Ran good, just not as good.

Last run of Mon. we were hoping for good things with a carb spacer change and the timing set back to 35* but after the first mile the engine got a little rough and you can see what happened to the speed. Haven't had a chance to see what is up with the engine but I'll bet it is a small thing.  I didn't feel the need to take my foot out of it.

bla bla bla

The record in my class is 164.230 mph.  I had no dreams of reaching that this year, I did however want to make 130 but 127 will have to do.  As Todd said the truck runs strait and true at speed so now it's time to add some power.  165 is not going to be easy, Keith has 525 hp in a coupe and has worked hard to get it to 173.  My engine is smaller and I have a bit more frontal area, the wait isn't an issue and I will be adding it as the speed goes up. Talking to Norris Andersen who holds A/MP and AA/MP records and is basically the fastest pickup out there ('49 Stude @ 220+) he adds 1200lbs to the back of his truck to keep it stable.  Once you get the mass rolling it has a flywheel effect, 'course then you have to think about stopping it.
