new personal best

Finished the install of a fresh 347 with just enough time to pull the Mav out of the garage and load it on the trailer, and head to the track. Missed the first TT session by the time I got there. Pulled it off the trailer and put the timing light on it but it was too sunny out and could not see a darn thing. Ended up just advancing the distributor till the idle started to pick up and called it good.
Previous best was 9.04 at 76.4 mph in the 1/8.
first TT pas netted a 7.68 at 94.3 mph spinning the slicks through most of 1 gear.
made it to the 4th round and broke out by .0079 running a 7.5921 at 93.70 on a 7.60 dial
The last pass was the best pass.

 

Big improvements over previous best!

Good runs for first time out!

 

WOW, a 1 1/2 second improvement it massive. Congrats

 

Well, going from a tired 289 to a fresh 347 probably helped a little.

 

Running good, enjoy.....

 

Bumped it up again
RT .038
1.60 60ft
4.78. 330ft
6.92 594ft
7.4024. 1/8 ET
94.29 1/8 MPH

 

What's the engine combo? It's making good power with that mph.

 

Just went a 7.32 at 95.89

347 with AFR 195 cnc ported, RPM Air gap with a 750 vs holley
Shifting at 6000 hitting the shift light at the stripe in 3rd gear.

 

With that mph it might go 7.00's. Mine went 7.19 at 92. That's a nice combo.

 

That's moving! My GTO was mid/hi 7s and ran ow 12s high 11s in the quarter.

 

Good Job! Glad to see you're having fun with it...that's what it's all about!

 

Nice times on your maverick with 347.. are you running slicks ?? My maverick with 347 is still little slower..60 at 1.68 1/8 7.5 at 91 mph...I have a older set of drag radials

 

28x9.5 MT ET drags 4.10 gears with a toploader 4spd

 

Also the clutch is slipping and the vacuum secondaries are not working correctly

 

7.68@94mph is getting pretty fast. You know that the hardest thing to do is break 7:00 and stay in the 6:90s. Good job.
