85 Monte Carlo SS build

I'll see what I can squeeze out of it on the dyno and do the math. If it comes down to a tenth of a second or so, yeah I guess I would probably throw them on there just to say I did it. But I've always got that bigger pulley I guess. I just don't know how far I can take these 4032 pistons

Well u have said it many times... u do t wanna use that bigger pulley and push it 2 hard...so dont. 10s are very respectable for what has to be a 4k car man.

3750#
I don't mind going to the larger pulley if I'm not going to spin it as high. Problem with that is I was crossing the line at about 6300 in third. He was making 16# at 6000 on the larger pulley when it popped before. I think it's set up just right for what it is, I just need to tweek it a little.

This all has to make you wonder what your car can do....

Running at consistent 10s is better than one 9 sec pass and broken. Lol

I just know it is what u have been chasing. Dont wanna see it break.

Very true. It's been broken for far too long to break it again (so soon).

Dual power adder. No Bueno. If I do anything fuel related it would be switching to e85. That's the first thing I would do if i wanted to push the engine harder.

Is e85 readily avail out ur way. Seems like PA is the only state that its hard to find without ordering ur own drum.

Yea we have a few stations within a 20 mile radius and quite a few around 40. With everything that kyle and Ryan have schooled me on about the stuff, for a guy with a puckered up butthole about tuning himself, it sounds like the way to go if I need the extra bump to go 9x

I will bring you some of michigans best corn alcohol for the next shootout

with some propylene oxide

your tuning margin will be opened up so much switching over plus the nice fact its oxygenated itll make more power guranteed. honestly I would get the car dialed in really good on your gas tune and finish off the year and this winter it'll be a simple add of 30 % fuel and a couple degrees of timing and some small tweeks.

I really don't think you'll need to pulley it down anymore to go a 9... you have a solid tenth and a half just to cut off in your sixty foot at least plus some chassis work , small weight reduction and maybe e85 If you decide and she will be over 9s.. I'll bet $ on it.

There's not a negative thing about the stuff. .. ive never seen the large variations in gas ccontent till you hit November but you can always keep an eye on it threw a wide band.

Looks like I will have to put giant pills in it to keep up with you

or get the car out of the garage for starters lol
