I ran my ute down at willowbank a few months ago, and ran a 14.1@151km/h
the same night i ran a 14.3@158km/h.
I have a carby/fuel problem to sort out hence the low km/h on the quicker run, as it basically idled over the line about 50 odd metres from the line.
I'm gonna run it again once i get the carb sorted out and decide if i wanna change the fuel pump.

It's a 351/C4/9in. 3.5:1.
What do you guys think it'll run?
Cheers.

mate how long is a pice of string......

Plus I don't understand that km stuff, you are racing on the 1/4 mile so speed is in mph, its too hard to relate on to the other, but i think you ran about 98 or 99 mph, so should be a low 14, or a high 13 if you can get it all together, depends on how much power you making...

no those times seem good if i don't get it sorted.

i'm from the new age so i talk in km/h, but mph fast run was 98 and slow run was 94.
i asked the question to 'PREDICT' the time, and because at the time i was bored.

it put out 255rwhp last year and it certainly feels faster then it was back then.

the motor is a rebuilt/printed 302c now 351, edelbrock performer manifold, holley 600 or 650, mild cam, race series pistons, stage 2 shift kit with 2500 stall.

I'll get it sorted and back at the track hopefully before summer comes around.
until then, keep the guesses/predictions coming!

schnoods your almost spot on, 13.69@103mph!
it's got a tad more in it, the carby is better but far from perfect.
