Thank you sir! It has now ran a 10.59 @ 126.27 with the same engine. But now days it runs those times in street trim, ie ...with DOT approved Drag Radials and through the mufflers just the way it is driven in off the street and onto the racetrack. Slow by todays standards though..with all the boosted cars running around.

@@gregelzea6070 10.59 is really fast. You must be making 600hp. My 69 firebird street car runs 11:30s. Id love to know your combo.

@@gregelzea6070 Im rebuilding a 455 now as we speak. Solid 243/251 duration cam. Edelbrock heads. Made 565 hp on dyno 6 years ago. Had low oil pressure. Getting a makeover.

@@brians69firebird Hi...Sorry I didnt see this until now...yes I figured it was making just about 600 like you say.

11" 3000 stall

Hi John, your dad and i never raced each other, but we were acquainted of course; being that we were Pontiac guys. I ported a set of heads for him once that were for one of his customers and I think they ended up on his financial partner's (Dennis Blazona ??) 69 Firebird race car. The tunnel ram manifold I am running in this video was your dad's Doug Nash/ Warrior manifold that I borrowed from him hoping for that extra bit of power from somewhere to break into the 10s as I was nearly cracking 10s with a single 800 Holley atop a old Edelbrock Torker running 11.00. I would like to visit your dad if he is still around...I have a framed picture of his car that he would like to have back... he gave them to me for purpose of putting on a website I was making. I will check back here in hopes you can tell me how he is and where I can visit him

I raced Mac at El Centro rd. He beat me..

+Everardo Diaz II Thank you

+Randall Wyatt Thanks, yes, cant wait to go out with a new set of old fashioned bias ply wrinkle wall slicks ... they suck on top end for stability compared to the radials but consistent hooking on the track is what w wrinkle wall does best

+Jack Richards Thanks for the nice words ...

Randall Wyatt coming soon .....return to the drag strip after 25 years ...same old paint job....same old engine with some improvements ....will be running smaller street tires through the mufflers this time

Randall Wyatt the car has returned to the drag strip. Ran 11.27 @ 120.53 through mufflers on street tires on its first pass......just the way I drove in off of the street.....naturally aspirated. Striving to beat the old time of 10.87 @ 124.83 that it ran in 1987 with slicks and open exhaust., but this time in street trim ...i.e. with mufflers and street tires

did you get video of it

+Randall Wyatt yes ...I threw this together. A compilation of some of the fun I've had with the car since I got it running in late January. Only a few outings to the track left on the MT ET Street Radial tires ... kzbin.info/www/bejne/f6TKg4WgbMuEjdU

+ueverdream looks like it is time for some slicks
