Thread: first time at the track

shifting at 6800 I believe compression is about 10:1 and the heads are oval pocket ported and gasket matched to the intake

I know most of the guys are saying don't expect much its a truck,but there not that bad.I am thinking even on a 1/8 mile track it would even be better.I think what will hurt you more is those big tires.Wasn't the worlds fastest pro street car a 57 Chevy, by Pat Musi?Thats less aerodynamic than your truck I think.Then he switched to a firebird body or something like that ,and ran the same set up,he ran the same.Don't get me wrong aerodynamics play a big part on the track if you were hittin some high speeds.100 miles an hour is not high speed for a drag strip.

im guessing very high 12's low 13's and dave is right that stahl is way to high for a street application. you migh want to go to the strip first so we can hear the numbers, thats before you melt the tranny driving it on the street.
