RE: [Chevelle-List] 11 second street car

[Bill Vander Werf]

My car is a 71 that I bought as a project about 2 1/2 years ago now. I built my motor first and had it sitting on a stand, then I needed to find it a home.   The motor is a .030 over 454 (460) with Speed Pro 2465 forged pistons. With my combination I have a 10 to 1 compression ratio. It has a balanced rotating assembly, ported oval port heads, a complete Crane (139731) roller cam setup with their gold race roller rockers, an 850 Holley double pumper and an Edelbrock RPM air gap intake manifold. I used a MSD 6AL ignition system with a MSD billet distributor. It has Hooker super comp headers with 3” exhaust through Flowmasters dumping right in front of the Moser Ford 9” rear end with a 3.89 posi center chunk turning 28 X 10.5 - 15  ET Drag tires. It has a performance built Turbo 400 with an ATI 3000 stall converter and a B&M ratchet shifter.   The car weighs just under 3900 pounds with me in it.   Good luck with yours. Don’t let small setbacks dishearten you.   Bill Vander Werf     -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Capt Crunch Sent: Thursday, March 27, 2003 2:27 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [Chevelle-List] 11 second street car   Congrats Bill... I hope to have some strip results as soon as mine is finished up. What you got under the hood for power?   Mikey   ----- Original Message ----- From: Bill Vander Werf Sent: Wednesday, March 26, 2003 10:54 PM To: Chevelle list Subject: [Chevelle-List] 11 second street car   Well I did it tonight. I was trying to tune my 71 to run elevens through mufflers on pump gas. I did run slicks but the car is street legal otherwise. I changed the jets in my 850 double pumper from  80s to 82s all the way around and blasted from steady 12 teens to a string of 11.80s   I ran an 11.820 @ 113.75, 11.823 @ 113.69, 11.826 @ 113.63, 11.834 @ 113.80 and finished off with an 11.801 @ 113.46   Boy, does that ever feel great!   Bill Vander Werf
