Awesome video. Keep them coming. Cheers

[@dloneyv8]

Great video and a heck of a cool sleeper there. Love those 55 Chevys!

[@dzperformance7360]

Thanks 👍

[@josephacerra5987]

Thanks for sharing Nice 55 and a nice day

[@gloriamaletta8667]

Out running expensive late model performance muscle cars with this 4 door 55 Chevy has got to be fun

[@lollipop84858]

Why?

[@ralphlazio505]

The 55 is beautifully unassuming….. I love it! Great work 👍🏼

[@dzperformance7360]

Thanks a lot!

[@lollipop84858]

Pretty sure the idle gives it away.

Sweet car. My car had same bog off line. Same et/mph/60' as yours. Jet extensions on secondaries cured the bog on mine.

[@dzperformance7360]

That was on our list of things to try,, But thanks for the information,, I'll definitely get Jet extensions.

[@dzperformance7360]

Thanks for watching my video

[@PatandDoopypoopy]

Great video. Not a bunch of stuff other than racing. Thank you.

[@bigblockkings1031]

Except for the ladder bars and the decal on the windshield that looks like grannys 55. That is the Ultimate sleeper! Bet it surprised a lot of cars. 👏👏👏

[@mrj2productions873]

they are slapper bars ... not ladder bars 😅🤣😂

[@bigblockkings1031]

@mrj2productions873 oops sorry yeah that's what I meant. My brain typed ladder bars ☹️

[@dzperformance7360]

Funny, you say that we took it to cruiseing the coast and did some stop like street racing. And it was amazing the cars that we ran off from

You give me hope of running 12s in my 78 omega thanks

Great ET for such mild cam specs!

[@jeep4752]

Awesome sleeper!

[@BulletSpoung]

If you have adjustable front shocks, you need to stiffen the rebound a bit, the car is loading good on the hit but then rebounds and bogs.

[@dzperformance7360]

I think those shocks are stock except there's a drag shock on one front corner. Car has a nice motor and a good,, Strange 9 inch other than that, it's kind of a turd.

[@whodatnunyabiz6050]

Very impressive! Those are respectable times and mph for sure! That should get down to low 11s with that mph and dialing it in. Nice 55!

[@dzperformance7360]

Thanks 👍

[@donaldhill1401]

In high school I drive my great grandfathers just like that. On the outside only difference was his had the full wheel covers. Three on the tree and quieter than anything built since the.

You did not. No need to lie.

[@kimmorrison9169]

Nice runnin little shoebox! Good launches. 2 door conversion on the to do list.

Thanks but that ruin the sleeper effect

[@thomaslemon3971]

I like it more as a sedan. Not everything no has to be a coupe

[@gordocarbo]

@@dzperformance7360 Perfecct just the way it is! What gear/converter are you running? Mufflers (sounds quiet at idle). One sleepy car you got there...has to embarass a TON of late model cars.

[@rick-wg4in]

@@dzperformance7360 Yes, that's what I loved about my 55 4door wagon!

[@Anarchy-Is-Liberty]

We didn't get to see the final run? Noooo!!! Looks like it wants to get down and boogie though! Don't know how much that thing weighs, but with the right suspension tweaks, and that engine tuned up nicely, should be capable of very low 11's, high 10's (depending on atmosphere)!

[@dzperformance7360]

That's what we're hoping for

[@badgerbait8351]

What a joy this was to watch! Was impressed by the launch this simple setup was able to perform! What gear do you run?

Sand falling out on the back end onto the track,lol left side rear bumper, ,,,look at the vlog and you will see it, , your spinning at the line, thanks BigAl California

[@dzperformance7360]

That's very observant,, The frame rails have some dirt in them. And every time the car tweaks off the line. It pukes out some mud or dirt chunks

[@dzperformance7360]

Like I said it's my buddy's car in my motor,, I don't know if i'd be overstepping my boundaries. If I ask him to wash the bottom of it.

Put in a 400 turbo it will last with a 3000 stahl

You need a power glide?? My freind owns and builds the best and toughest transmission on the planet, guaranteed, as long as you don’t hold the Tran brake to long,or wreck it,or knock a hole in the pan and lose the mikes transmission oil , at mikes transmission,in palmDale California, just look him up on line, thanks tell Kristy that I sent you to get your transmission,,thanks BigAl California.

[@gordocarbo]

Ron over at TRC trans in Chatsworth is known for building unbreakable stuff. Used him since the 80s Affordable makes his own converters and backs his work up

[@lollipop84858]

No he doesn't, Kennedy.

[@gloriamaletta8667]

60 foot times are very good l think with some tuning it could go a little better on the top end 11.30s at 120mph but it is leaving the light well

[@dzperformance7360]

It's got a shumble which I think is a lean. Miss just about 30 feet out. If we can get that worked out. I think there's a solid .10 improvement in that alone

[@whodatnunyabiz6050]

@@dzperformance7360 I'm guessing with that mph you are running 1/2" lines. I ran 11.60s in a 455 TA with 4.10s and a T400 with an 11" converter. Weighed 3400 lbs so probably comparable on power. I ran mine at 36" total 16 initial timing with full advance in at 2100. It's leaving good so if its not supply related it might be uncovering the rear jets and you might consider jet extensions. Could be something that simple. Ya never know.

[@wayneoakley1832]

Sounds like it's time to upgrade and spend some more money 😂.awesome car man 😮it wouldn't take much and ya'll will be in the 9s

[@dzperformance7360]

It's my motor and it's my buddy's car. our goal is to get it to run 10.99 on the throttle, and he's got a bottle in the trunk to try to touch the high 9s . that is the plan

[@dzperformance7360]

Thanks for watching the video

I know you're correct. But my buddy keeps coming up with cheap 350th's

[@troyb1733]

That was awesome! Where is this track? Missouri or Kansas? Good luck.

[@dzperformance7360]

The track is called Mokan, It's right on the missouri / kansas border it's near Joplin Missouri, Very close to Jittsburgh Kansas

[@dzperformance7360]

It's just outside joplin missouri,, But very close to pittsburgh kansas it's right on the border

[@Stevespoken]

That's a beauty I'd be curious if you cut some weight bumpers etc

The 383 motor is mine. The car is my buddys, but yeah, it even has the back seat in it and interior,, I think we could drop a 100 pounds on that car. Really easy,

We have not weighed it but with driver. We're betting on 3650 pounds.

Four door and convertibles are for moms and sisters...what a waste of a fine running small block. The least you could of done is ship that girly four door up to that hippie in Saskatchewan and let him hack it into a 2 door.

Yeah, except a 4 door is less than 1/2 the price of a 2 door. I run a '62 Impala 4 door with a 383/PG and it runs in the mid 11s.
