Made the 400HP Auto A518 club over the weekend

Postby SNOOT » Thu Aug 04, 2011 9:37 am

Its no 600 or 700HP but it is an automatic A518 non-lock up drag racing machine...

So-far this year I have improved my 1/4 mile ET from 14.23 last year to 13.55 this year. I ran on BD's dyno last month and made 376HP and on the same day ran the 13.55 1/4. Last weekend and one additional turn of the fuel screw I made 405HP.

I am still running the 12mm pump with AFC. Changes made this year... New injectors and a 4,000rpm gov spring.

Every run I made dyno and 1/4 mile run was under 1250 on the EGT meter.

Needless to say I am stoked at how well the truck is running around the street and on the road. The shifter is now all hooked up and I look forward to running the 1/4 mile on the 20th in Portland. Hoping for a low 13's.

Very impressive crank her down and let her eat just one time. I have never been one to show much restraint or smarts for that matter. Rocky

I'm also interested in the torque it made.

The torque numbers are estimated on that list. They used 2250 rpm as a generic rpm input for calculating peak torque.
