Fastest 3rd gen in here?
I want to know who is the fastest 3rd gen here. I've got a stock suspension, no wheelie bars, stock bodied, true 10" tire car. I have gone 9.33 @ 148 to date and just want some more ideas to go faster without having to backhalf it. Current race weight is 3320 with me in it and I am trying to cut some more out of it and get it into the 8's.

Oh, heads are still a 23 degree head, no angle milling or raised runner design.
Here is an old pic of the current 421 without the NOS kit and manual brake master cyclinder and headers.

Thats ok, you don't have to look while going going fast! I build mine before I had paint so don't feel bad just stick with it. I never thought I would ever break into the 10's let alone low 9's.

Well the first motor that got me into the 9's was a 406, I had a $1100 rotating assembly, and some Dart iron eagles that were just touched by hand with a big shot set to 200 and it went 9.90's a few times that on a cold day she let a rod go at the stripe at 138 mph. I had about $4500.00 in that whole motor and I had the lower end put together by a shop. Before
After the BOOM
The new combo is a whole new mill, I have about $8500.00 in the whole motor carb to pan. I put some really god parts in this one, I have Oliver billet rods with ARP 3.5 bolts, Howards extreme crank, Ross custom NOS pistons, stock block with billet caps in all 5 positions and the block is filled to the water pump with concrete. Basicly the motor is good for about 1200hp on NOS, the pistons are the week link and thats fine with me.

Sorry about the late reply but i have nothing on 1BAD86Z 3rd gen. Right now you can see all the mods i have below. I am having the rear end checked out next sunday to see what i can do with it. If anyone has any ideas on a new rear end, please let me know. Thanks.
