Re: Racers.... post your times

I would like to reply, but more so I would like some input. I recently built a 78 malibu so I figured it would run 10 flat maybe 10.5 in the 1/4. first time out 12.8 and 12.6 running on 6 cylinders. this 454 punched 70 over with 13-1 je pistons, dart pro 1 345 heads ferret valves dart intake 1050 dominator. 10 flat should be easy. replaced the plug wires now its running on all eight. by the time I get to the burn out box it's running different. Now im running on 7 cyl and ran a 8.7 in the 1/8th. this is really starting to suck. The exhaust is so hot, it is burning up the plug wire almost immediately. I wrapped the exhaust and put boots over the wires. I don't know what else to do. any ideas on getting the exhaust temp down?
