Subject: my 86 SS Monte at the track

Well the motor is back in the Monte Carlo as of the end of April.I ran it for the first time this year at Cecil County Dragway back on June 30th...we had a half way cool-temp night for a change.It ran like it did last year...which is a good thing.I've seen motors rebuilt & slow up sometimes.I wanted at least to go mid 10's on motor & mid 9's on spray like last year,and it did!
First pass was a 10.48@129.90 with a 1.53 sixty ft. (shift 6800)
Second pass was a 10.54@129.05 with a 1.55 sixty ft (shifted late 2nd & 3rd)
Third pass was a 10.55@128.93 with a 1.55 sixty ft (shifted late 2nd & 3rd)
If I shift around 6800 it runs best,or so it seems to like it.If I shift around 7000-7100 it slows up.I might try shifting 6400-6600 to see how it likes that.Still learning what this car likes.The closer to idle I leave,the better it 60 fts too....1500 or so...up at 2000 slows it up.
I sprayed it on the last pass with a 200 shot dead out of the whole..it spun.
Ran a 9.63@144.55 with a 1.53 sixty ft.
Had a good time.Now waiting for another cooler night to go back.
