I race K/SA with an 87 Monte Carlo SS and SS/JA in a 1990 Corvette. I own an engine shop so I get to do a lot of experimentation. Im running well into the 11s (consistent 11.70s) with a 305. Ive found a combo that runs pretty hard but a new Dart Little M 305 block and custom ground cam and say bye bye to the current national record 11.65.

Matt, I've known Jerry 25 years, and I've written a story on his Z/28 for Super Chevy magazine. The 302 has indeed been apart and maximized for NHRA Stock Eliminator. In no way is that a factory original engine. Please check your information.
@mattperkins70384 жыл бұрын
REVan Evan what I was told is Jerry bought the car new and with exception of trans and tuning, the cork hasn’t been popped in the motor. Even if it has been, it’s unreal how fast that car is with this cubic inches. I run a small journal 302 in my 66 Chevy II and they’re definitely very cool engines
@revanevan4 жыл бұрын
@@mattperkins7038 those are fantastic cars and some of my favorite Chevys. In addition to writing the story, I competed against Jerry in my H/S Ford Cobra Mustang with a 302 and 5-speed. (You can see videos of the car on this channel.) Like mine, Jerry's car is fully maximized to the NHRA Stock Eliminator rules, I assure you. This means blueprinting the engine, to minimize combustion chamber, overbore on engine, using a Stocker cam (stock lift, any duration and overlap), optimized valve job, open headers, plus optimized suspension, transmission and gear ratios, etc. With all due respect, I've seen a competent driver in bone stock 302 Z/28 produce low 13s with sticky tires. There is no way you're gonna run 10s with a stock 290 hp 302. The science doesn't add up. As an example, a stock 1993 Cobra runs low 13s, maybe high 12s with slicks. This is with a factory 235 hp engine at roughly 3,350 lbs. My car (same 1993 Cobra) in NHRA Stock trim has been 10.65/123 mph. On a wheel dyno my "235 hp" engine makes 415 hp (would be estimated 450 on an engine dyno) as built for the NHRA rules. It takes 450-475 (flywheel) hp to run mid-10s in Jerry's car. Lastly, what induction and transmission are you running, I love those cars!

Very cool car. Easy to work on and relatively cheap to build. Youve obviously got it dialed in after years of tnt. Have a couple questions: 1. What kind of fuel do you run (allowed)? 2. Rear suspension mods/rear gears? 3. I noticed in the video that when you started your burnout, the back of the car raised up alittle. When i launch my s550 irs car, the rear squats quite a bit. I know your suspension setup is completely different, but which is better for launching? Should i tighten up my rear suspension to prevent squatting? Id just like the opinion of an accomplished FS racer. Thx.
@revanevan5 жыл бұрын
Most Stocker guys run VP C11, C12, C16 or C25. Looks like when he started the burnout the tires were gripping right before they broke free from the track so it loaded the suspension and lifted the rear.
@s.d.wheeler56045 жыл бұрын
You're right. Completely different vehicle. Utilize and tune what works best for your combination. Squat works well for IRS type cars but be careful to monitor how much. Shock tuning is your friend.
@busslayer47905 жыл бұрын
I've noticed that newer cars never seem to transfer weight and pull the front wheel like they used to. Has there been some change in philosophies about how to get traction? I remember seeing pictures in magazines where they were pulling a front tire on stock SN95 Cobras with just a slick.
@madirishman13335 жыл бұрын
At this race the car was not up to par on launch as in the past. Theoretically you only want the front tires just off the ground. Any more is using energy in the wrong direction. In the faster Stockers and Super Stockers big wheelstands can catch air and slow the car's acceleration. On the other hand there are those who feel that the higher the wheelstand (up to a point) the more of the car's weight is imposed on the rear tires enhancing traction. Right Gary? This is more helpful and over comes any aerodynamic deficiencies. I like the second opinion if only because wheelstands are fun! LOL
@busslayer47905 жыл бұрын
