Ray, It's a pretty basic build 10:1, 30 over 302, I reworked the stock heads, Perf RPM, 750 DP, solid lifter cam, Comp roller tip rockers, shorty headers thru V-Force mufflers. I use a 4 spd, 9" with 4:11 gears, slapper bars, and 26x9-15 Hoosier drag slicks. The car has ran a best of 11.676 @ 114.75 w/o mufflers, and 11.769 @ 114.03 thru the mufflers weighing just under 3100 lbs. I plan on racing at all the Good-Guys events which include Sonoma, Pomona, Seattle and Bakersfield. I hope if any site members attend they will come by and say hi! lbr
local meet Hi Papa, I'm Jim in Memphis, I would like to get a few local mavs and comets together around Memphis for a local meet during the summer, there are quite a few around here...Thought I would say hello...Jim The more imports I see the more I love my Maverick
Maybe I'll make it to the good guys event in Seattle. I wonder if the 4 speed is making the big difference or if your car is just plain set up better than mine. Three tenths faster with what seems like a milder mill. Cool. Hope we meet this summer. I have yet to make a pass on 26" tires though. 28's seemed too big to me last year. Maybe that'll get me there.
The transmission is an area I put a lot of thought. It's a 3:10 first gear Saginaw that I personally modified. Ya I know a Saginaw, but they have the gear ratio and they're cheap!
