It's getting even better. 17 pages now. There's chevy liar on there talking about a chevyII he has that runs 6.36 (1/8th) on the motor. This same guy had that car at pinks all out in montgomery and ran around 10.70 (1/4) spraying 175 I think. Sorry dude but that not going to get you a 6.36 in the 1/8th. He also says that car weighs 3000 lbs. I'm not buying that one either. Also funny how mr mopar keeps bragging about how his car runs 4s (1/8th) with a N/A mopar 440. It's a dragster that he says weighs about 1600 lbs and the motor has almost 1100hp. For that power and weight, it doesn't sound too fast to me either.
Yep, I personally witnessed this 9 second on motor car run a 10.70 with the bottle. I even watched them heat the bottle before the pass, and the motor sounded fine all the way down the track. So I know there wasn't a major tuning issue either.
A stock head, sbc powered car running low 6s in the 1/8 or high 9s in the 1/4 on motor or without methanol is something I have never seen in anything over 2400 pounds. Maybe an all fiberglass tube chassis or rail. Most of the quick sbc's with a stock head/block have rather large amounts of nitrous hooked to them.
There was a sbc powered car running mid 9s on motor, but it was a 415 cubic inch motor with SBII heads. I'm quite sure it also has the lightest internals that a person of normal income could afford. I know the guy that owns the car and he has been saving and working on it for years.
