what did you end up running?

Looks like your car is hooking up pretty well.

Hey man
I believe I ran an 8.86 against the F-body, my best to date is an 8.67. My time slip, from that run, is in the car at the bodyshop, when I get a chance I'll run by there and get it and post it.
411 is a slippery track but I was hooking better than most of the others, my best 60' is still just a 1.99. I'll get better, can't wait to run a quarter in it, hoping for a mid 13.
Thanks for asking
Jim

Sounds like a fun street car. Need a more aggressive launch to get into the 1.7/1.8 territory for 60fts.

I saw the pics on your webpage of the radiator inlet shroud you made and thought that itlooks great. Also the cover you made for the top side in front of the radiator support between the headlights.

Did it make a huge difference in how the car runs at 40mph+? I would think so.

What type of material did you use?

Hi GNX7
If you talking about temps at 45 mph, the cover and the belly pan helped a lot but the most improvement came when I sealed up the bottom of the cover and the sides of the radiator and belly pan. I used lightweight aluminum flashing and rubber seal to close up the air leaks. BTW Vert in Vegas suggested this in my original thread.
Anything over 30 mph and the car runs at thermostat temp, 180*, unless the temps are above 95 and then it sits around ~195*. I only need to turn the fan on when I am sitting still.

Here is the Belly pan thread
