The Shop Truck

1971 Chevy C20 with a custom flat bed.
Awesome. Will be good to watch the videos.
That was meant for Ben. Unfortunately I only have one code I can give away from my magazine subscription. You guys could fight for it I guess?

It rained at Firebird, but it stopped and the wind is drying out the track nicely. They're still aiming for gates opening at 7:30, track going hot at 8:30 (I was wrong when I posted times the other day). The truck is loaded on the trailer and hooked up to the Silverado. Fingers crossed that this just cooled it down and we're going to be able to make some passes tonight. It's
 
Sorry, that's just for the Sick streaming on FRDM+. Obviously you'll be able to see what I post on Youtube.
 
Lol. Sorry for the delay. I only ran 3 times, twice to the 1/8, once to the 1/4.
It was only making 10.7 lbs of boost max. The 1/4 time was slightly better 11.28@118. There was no point running anymore so we came home.
It's all the testing it's going to get before we leave, but I'll figure out what's going on before we head to Michigan
 
On top of the temps being 117° today, we also have a chance of thunderstorms this afternoon/evening so the event might get rained out.

I'll be pretty disappointed if it doesn't do a 10 tonight. We were only making about 8lbs of boost on the last trip, we should be at 16lbs this time. If I can get it to hook up and go down the track, it should be pretty deep in the 10s.
Yeah we have a friend in grand canyon college in AZ and he was showing us the forecast 118 with rain and we were like :sign27:

Did it make more boost on the dyno with the small pulley..?

I'm just wondering if that blower, with that pulley in theory makes 16 on say a 5.3-6.0.
But your cubes are eating up more air, so it's not as high....
:dunno:
Can't remember the dyno stuff, so just a thought I had.
The reason I was looking at the 3.8's is for just that being I have the 454.
