no speedo, but based on gearing and tire diam I was at around 7500 with the 930 trans and SBC at Willow, front stretch cruising at 141mph. Had one more gear to go, so off to the chassis shop it went. I think if I can get back to a good track somewhere in the 160 range.
I have a Sheridan standard width body kit with his 6" spoiler at the time; car was wandering a bit (tho' the suspension geom was pretty outta whack I suspect due to bump steer - the downforce at the front and upforce at the rear would have really messed with toe settings affecting straightline perf). Since going full tube chassis I added a 70"x11" wing and a splitter into the mix and fixed the bumpsteer issues by relocating the rack and so forth. I expect it to be stable up to 160, maybe higher now. We'll see in a few months (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) BTW Bill Berthgo (sp? - bad with names) has a similar setup to my old one (no wing - body kit and spoiler) and said he was around 160 and true awhile back. |
