No we had the 7lb spring in it for both the Dyno and the track. Brooks has a contraption that uses a regulator and the air compressor in the shop to simulate a boost controller. The highest we got was 14 lbs on the boost gauge due to the tire shake. We could have increased the pressure on the regulator therefore getting more boost, but the tires would allow it.
I have a boost controller. It's an MSD 7562. I just wanted to crawl before I walked.
My 60 ft was in the low 1.70's. I don't know how much boost I was leaving on, but it wasn't much.
Thats cool. Same here, just plan on taking it easy for now.
I was leaving in vaccum, no boost. Lol Heck my 60ft were like 2. Something lol. And I tried to build some but I really dont know what I was doing
Hey so yall dyno with the 15lb spring and then switch to the 7lb spring before going to the track?
And you dont have a boost controller yet? I still need to get one to. Mine has the 14 spring in it now but it doesnt launch for shit with no boost. And converter is was way tight.

Someone who's never had a car like this before and wants to get a feel for it before jumping in feet first, that's how shit gets wrecked. What's the purpose of coming in this thread and being a dick?
Just hold on there big boy, I was not being a dick.
I was just making a statement; as I was not referring to the big end of your passes but rather the starting line control. It is easier to control boost at ALL levels with a lesser of a spring that what you have. It will be easier to get the car lined out that way. Get your feet wet all you want but in the end you will put the appropriate equipment (which ever boost controller you like) to help with your tuning and make your life much easier. The middle of the track and big end will come around with comfort level and tuning which you have guys that know what they are doing.

We had a customized regulator hooked up to it on the dyno using an air compressor to regulate boost.

Good luck with that C4. Probably get a few passes out of it when putting the full power to it.
I have another fully built one for you when that one goes...
My 331 put almost almost those exact numbers as well, looks similar too! haha It was the most we could detune it. :/
UMMMMMM????? I don't have a C4, it's a powerglide.
It had a C4 when I bought it, but I pulled that out on day 1 damn near, and sold it.

I gave 25 for it turn key. Added a coverter tune up drag radials it ran 5.0 never had radials or nos old owner gave up! Took the all motor 582 out added a 582 nos short block and some suspention work ran a 4.76 at 150. Most expense is my time manny time for testing and my nos tune up yep got 40 in it! But it's worth 80!
