Post your track times with your OLDS powered Cutlass

[DoubleV]

Just curious what you guys are running with your OLDS engines at the track. I don't care about Chubby powered Cutlasses, so let's just focus on Olds powered Cutlasses shall we. :wink:

As soon as i get my car on the track again, I'll have those times posted 8) hope its just under 16 with my 307

 

[Minion1186]

yea, give me a little time also, my cutlass isnt ready for the track yet but i should be in the mid to high 12 seocnd range.

Went 7.40's with a mild 455
Funny thing is.... took it out and put the motor in a 72 (heavier) Cutlass and it went 7.20's

I think the older Cutlass' just get better traction than GBody's

 

[Chris Van]

Nah....
The 72 had a 350 trans and a 4.11 gear with a tighter converter for the more torguey 455.
The 83 had a powerglide with a 4800 converter and a 4.56 gear. The converter/gear combo was more suitable for a small block chevy than a torque monster.
And I figured a small block in a G body is fairly common. A small block Chevy in a 72 442????? Well let's just say it was a no brainer which motor went in which car...LOL

Yea bet the 455 didn't like the stall or gear at all. I like the color & wheels. What et mph does that typically translate to in the quarter.

I mean the actual car itself seems to get a better launch than a GBody. I had a friend up in MI that has a Regal with the 572 crate engine and he only runs mid 12's at Miland. Not sure what gear he runs. I do know he runs the factory rear suspension setup, aftermarket arms and whatnot, but the factory design with an 8.5" :? Just doesn't make sense to me sometimes. That car should run a whole lot faster. But then you'll see factory Buick GS 455 go out and run the same times

Would a Pontiac powered Cutlass be allowed to play?
