I know, I know, It's not my 5.0, but usually post on this forum. Took my 78 Malibu to the the track today. Went 9.448 @ 143.81 on a 275 hp hit of hose. The two first runs I had to abort. Hazing the the tires at the 1/8 mile and all over the track. The third run I stayed into it and white knuckled it down the track. It only ran a 1.46 sixty. The The first run and I got out of it, it ran a 1.31 sixty foot. You can do the math the car on the same day definitely can run high 9.20' s low 9.30's and this is the first time out with the progressive controller and NOS Big Shot kit. Again it was a very good air day. DA was 129 ft.:beer: On the third and final run the header flange broke and the exhaust was falling of the car so we called it a day.

Awesome! I have a new 408 notchback with a Nitrous Pro-Flow plate kit set up for 200 that should be able to run in that vicinity. It is a complete animal on motor, I can only imagine what it will be like on the hose.....

what does it run on motor??? Those 408's usually run pretty well.
Very cool. I love the old stuff, have a BBC 2nd gen Camaro myself.
It has only been out once with the former owner. He ran the 1/8th with it and ran a 6.70. I think it has low 10's in it on motor. I may never even spray it. I have some tuning to do though.
