First run ever Didnt lift but hooked

Hey guys, curious what to expect. My fresh 355 81 Malibu ran 11.27 with a 1.51 60ft. 5000stall 4.56 28-9 MT slick. Was lifting front wheel 6", passenger side about 1". Car twisting, drivers rear wanting to lift on launch too. Bone stock rear suspension with a 12 bolt, that's it. Traction...

Minttttttt

Thanks guys, just curious, stocker guys at track use something shinny behond just washing them. And no I'm not paying a crew to spray the bottom of the slicks before racing I'm talking about the side walls

Hi guys, What do you guys use the keep your drag slicks shiny? I have some spray can products but not sure if bad for slicks.. some say the silicone is bad for them. Thanks!

Hey guys, going to rebuilt a 3310-2 holley I picked up. Apparently it was running last year. What do you guys use, what works best that i might already have in my garage? Iv never had to clean one this bad.. Some guys use carb cleaner, gas with a brush, some people even boil the parts in...

ok sorry, interesting, mine is identical i just checked. At idle i read exactly 10 with a quality vac gauge, everything that should be plugged is plugged, dont think i have a vac leak, i re installed the intake also and did every test i could think of, heh..

sorry im slow still getting used to this forum, the layout, answering, etc. yes shes healthy once rolling. no its doesnt have the holes. really not trying to run from the problem, but i think trying other carbs might work. just for the hell of it. the more experienced guys at the track say a...

thank you guys, blades are probably cracked because i lean into it. its brutally worse at of idle, new set up and car/build. iv run it as much as 42 degrees, back safe at 36 because it wasnt faster or slower. had same issue. this is the only clean pass, because i floored it slowly:

thank you all, to answer everything, no i dont have a AFR gauge, timing is 36 total and runs best there. iv tried a new locked out HEI, and now new stock hei, all the same. not really affected by gears or stall, same response issue in nutreal i know 42 squirters are ridiculous, its was a...

Hi Guys, I want to ask if you guys have lost significant mph by trying a smaller cfm carburettor. you guys have already helped me out, but i think my car doesnt like this carb. my car will still hesitate, launching or in nutral, the holley 750 is full mechanical, iv tried every combo with...

Thanks guys If i took the springs out, wouldn't the weight always be out anyways? Or do i have to weld them? Don't have time at the moment to buy or wait for anything to ship.

Hi guys, Has anyone locked out there timing with a stock style HEI distributor? I have a low compression 11.89ET 350 Malibu track only car. Some guys at the track say they weld the distributor weights in the fully open position. Wouldn't simply removing the little springs have the same...

Hi guys, 81 Malibu 355sbc 11.89 @112 At the track, car started running rough, would backfire/ shoot gas out of carb when stalling. Now the car is barley startable, will only start if I advance the timing all the way, runs like garbage, stalls, etc.. This misfire has evolved into almost not...

Hi guys, 81 Malibu 355sbc started running like crap at the track. After tuning to eliminate hesitation, bigger nozzles amd 50cc pump, etc, it was fine. Then noticed my timing was somehow move to 55deg at idle! Maybe was moved when guys installed new stall.. Backed it off to normal ...

Apparently only 9.5 to 1

Apparently only 9.5 to 1

Ok, if heard some guys talk about that, I just have a jegs stock style hei

You mean i have a problem? Or I should be doing the time im running? The hesitation isnt affectiving my ET alot just driving me nuts

Thanks guys, It loves to rev and makes its power up high so I really love the idea of the 5000. Too late to go back! Haha Its 355 dish piston Dart iron eagle 215cc runners. The Holley is new yes, 750cfm HP series, the jetting is good and plugs look great. Tight lash solid cam not roller 510...
