I thought yours was a true glht. Even if not. 5 blue l bodies at the track at one time. All running pretty quick times. People will look at us like wtf :screwy:

You could have stopped at all running and I'd still be impressed. The cars in question pushes this into mind blowing territory.

[85boostbox]

I agree. Lengels car is impressive. If his dyno numbers are accurate this should push this car into 9 second range. Easily. I want to see it run.

[85boostbox]

I just did a quick calculator and it says it should do a mid 9.

[turbovanman²]

9's would be f*cking sweet,

Look out with those calculations. They're highly misleading with a high HP FWD L body. There was a classic thread on here in which a guy claimed that you only needed 3-400HP to run high 10s. It's not always that easy.

That being said mid 9's in a relatively mild Omni would be unreal.

Im talking about lengels car. Not mine lol. I only want a solid 13 second car out of mine.

Look at Reeves, mid 500 whp car and runs mid to lowish 10's.

And lengel dyno'd out at what 630 to the wheels when this engine was in his spirit. So i would expect a 9 sec slip in his hand.

[Shadow]

Having a handfull of 9 sec Turbo Mopars cruising around would be Awesome, but let's not jinx anything here. 9's and faster have less to do with power and More to do with hook and drive and How you use that power. Things need to stay alive long enough to be able to work it out!

Let's just let Lengel get some seat time and shakedown and say this car Should be well into the tens by year end if it can be driven to it's potential and the tune is on

Then IF it goes 9's we can all celebrate without making anyone feel like it should have done it the first time out! lol

[85boostbox]

Well my setup that is going in is to just get the car going. My next setup will be evil. I hope to be in the 10 second bracket. We shall see though.

Same here.

Look at Reeves, mid 500 whp car and runs mid to lowish 10's.

Mine dyno'd in the mid 300's and kept up with Reeves ET wise... same dyno, different days.

Of course he traps a good 10+mph faster than I have I think.

That is very interesting. Yours is an auto right?

Yessir

[turbovanman²]

Yessir

Maybe that is the key, much easier to launch and keep momentum up.

Auto + lighter if your -10mph with better or same ET. Also, you ran NOS didn't you? Did you run NOS on the dyno?

Yup. I sprayed it on the dyno.

I'm doubting the weight of our cars with driver are very different. My fat --- has quite a few lbs over Reeves.

But, the auto trans I am sure is the main difference for the comparison of whp numbers. Adams and Reeves cars will be much closer for comparison.

Ya, it's amazing what you can do when you cheat.
