I bought my Cutlass back in February this year, took it to the strip shortly after hoping for a mid to high 14 second pass and I pulled off a 14.33. Needless to say I was pretty happy!

About a month or so later, I wiped out a couple lobes on the cam and so I pulled the engine for a complete rebuild and swapped on a set of Trick Flow heads and roller rockers as well as added a shift kit. Took it back to the track hoping for high 13s, only to be dissapointed with a 14.049. I had a few issues at that time including a weak fuel pump and the trans was shifting at no higher then 5,000 RPM but the cam makes power to 6,000 RPM. I didn't know how to properly use the B&M shifter that is in the car so I just put it in gear and let it eat.

SO... I got a new fuel pump and figured the shifter out, then blew out the ring and pinion. I was told by the previous owner that it was 3.73 gears, come to find out they were 3.42, but I did replace them with 3.73s.

Now, on to the results from this past Sunday.

I was hoping for a high 13 second pass and I made a total of five runs. The only weight reduction I did was remove my sub / box ( Alpine Type R 15 in a good sized thick walled box ) and my amp ( Just a baby Viper 600 RMS @ 1 ohm ) The last two runs were made with the sub and amp back in the trunk.

My car is # 840M
My first run was my best!

Here is a couple of my other passes

Now, here is some pics from the day.

This was my final run for the day, but I was trying to line up with him earlier and it didn't work out. He has a 455 under the hood.

Nice times and consistent as well. Very well done for a car that heavy.

I wonder if you can cut down on the times if you brought skinnies for up fronts? I'm sure that's some heavy rotational mass up front.

If he wanted better times skinnies up front and slicks in the back on some light rims def. would help. More HP would also help. :wink:

I was running my normal full street pressure, 40 PSI and had no traction issues at all. I hold it right at stall speed (about 2,200 RPM ~ ) and slam it to WOT right at the light, zero spin.
