Well it's been a long time since the beaterbird got to stretch her wings. But the day is finally here and I will be taking my car down the drag strip for the first time on the newly built motor. No nitrous tonight I will be working on finding where it likes the timing set and minor adjustments with the carburetor.

Anybody want to guess what it will do?

I know jack shit about the carb swaps but are you missing some intake bolts on the front? Good luck at the track and without spray, I'll guess 12's.

Well the car was lighter than I thought that was with out me in the car.

But I was very happy with that time
... now time to spray it with a 250 shot and skip the 11s.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180617/b1267dab7994b0a9662a93c750267587.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180617/ec867990dfeb975ff9fc11e157b672d4.jpg

Didn't even notice that in your signature lol. That was actually my guess. A 109 trap seems low for your setup. How hard are you turning it? That cam going want alot of rpms.
