GUNNER Posted October 23, 2003 Posted October 23, 2003 Ok, first I need to give props to STTCT for helping me figure out how to post the pictures instead of just a link to my page. Here are a few pictures from my recent trip to the drag races a few weeks ago. I love my car.
vegietto Posted October 23, 2003 Posted October 23, 2003 That is my Favorite car a Chevelle, i love them cars, man that is pretty and that is my favorite paint job on it, nice car man!
GUNNER Posted October 23, 2003 Author Posted October 23, 2003 Thanks. Only bad thing is it's an Oldsmobile. Both have the same body style and are very similar though.
vegietto Posted October 23, 2003 Posted October 23, 2003 i should have looked at it harder my bad sorry but hey it still is a great looking car what does she run
GUNNER Posted October 23, 2003 Author Posted October 23, 2003 So far my best is a 12.67 with a MPH of 107. I should be able to get at least a 12.4 or better out of it with some tuning.

GUNNER Posted October 24, 2003 Author Posted October 24, 2003 Never had it on a dyno but I would assume there is at least 350hp at the wheels and a good 400ft lbs. The engines made 500ft lbs stock at the fly wheel.
vegietto Posted October 25, 2003 Posted October 25, 2003 damn that is good time and yeah u our probably right with some tuning it will run 12.4, my dad has a 78' Chevelle that ran 14.00s, that ain't bad but he had to sell it
GUNNER Posted October 25, 2003 Author Posted October 25, 2003 I bought my car in 1982 and I would probably sell my house before I got rid of it.

I thought it was a Chevelle until I saw the front grill. Its a beauty Gundog, I love that paint job. What kind of engine do you have in there?
Kylilin Posted October 28, 2003 Posted October 28, 2003 That engine looks like a beauty and a beast. One thing though, you gotta get those valve covers painted.
GUNNER Posted October 29, 2003 Author Posted October 29, 2003 Painted? Those are $300 aluminum valve covers. You got to be kiddin. Their really sweet, they are tall, where as most are about 3 inches tall these are more then 4 inches high.

They are sweet they way they are, but your engine has the wholel red and chrome thing going, I think it would look nice if you got it painted to match whatever that thing is you got bolted to the firewall, and the alternator.
