The tale of the 87' Colony Park

If the weathers nice, taking it to the 1/8 tomorrow to see what she'll run. I want a 10.5 or better damn it.

I think it will pull the front wheels through the 60-ft. lights.

Lulz. It won't even chirp them from a dead stop. Once it wakes up it pulls good but it's still probably barley better than a stock exploder engine....

It was rained out anyways...

Okay, then it will hydroplane the front wheels through the 60-foot lights.

I was close, best was a 10.6. This things a turd burglar off the line. It's dead as a rock until it hits 30 or so. It A. Needs more gear, and B. needs more stall. But since neither of those are something I want to do in my garage, I need to think of something else.

What was the trap speed on your run?

and what is going on with your gauge install? I am really curious to see how you made out.

A 408W will work.


Otherwise....you're stuck there until at least the gears are swapped, lol.

67something

And I haven't even touched the gauges since that pic

I think a 306 with some aftermarket heads would be more than enough for me. I don't need a rocket, just something that could pull low 15's high 14's and still be reliable enough and get good enough gas mileage to be a daily driver/cross country cruiser.

Exhaust is next up on my list, it just has stock fox headers, and custom bent 2" duals with no crossover.


I did do a little work on it though. I know the stock airbox is supposed to be able to handle this much power, but it's so ugly and in the way it just needed to die. So I made a somewhat-legit cold air intake. It's not the best, but at least it pulls in cold air and cost nearly nothing and doesn't look to ricey.

Hey I like that. It looks exactly like the K&N kits made for Whale Panthers.

You're seriously going to need at least a 3.55 gear back there, 3.73's preferred. So far as mileage is concerned, ask some others here how the gear swaps affected their mileage.

Mine improved.

It already has 3.55's and a trac-loc. That's why I'm not going to jump to 3.73's right away.

And I know with my 91 going from 3.08's to 3.55's didn't hurt the mileage at all.

4.10gear and a converter will wake that up alot

i can definately help you out on those, if you so chose....
